Integration Grants Application '25: InstaNodes RPC for Conflux
Application Introduction
Project Name: InstaNodes RPC for Conflux
Problem Statement & Proposed Solution
The Conflux ecosystem is growing rapidly, but developers and dApps face challenges in accessing reliable, high-performance, and scalable RPC services. The existing RPC infrastructure may experience congestion, downtime, or lack of optimization for large-scale dApps and enterprise applications.
To address this, InstaNodes proposes deploying a dedicated, highly available, and scalable RPC infrastructure that ensures optimal performance, secure API access, and enhanced developer experience. This solution will provide both public and enterprise-grade RPC endpoints for Conflux Core Space and eSpace, ensuring seamless interactions with the blockchain.
Alignment with Conflux Network
Our project aligns with Conflux’s vision of a high-performance, decentralized network by providing the essential infrastructure required for dApp development, DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and Web3 services. By offering a robust RPC service, we contribute to the network’s reliability, security, and usability.
Benefits to the Conflux Ecosystem
1. Encouraging Developer Adoption: Providing high-speed, reliable RPC services will lower the entry barrier for developers and improve dApp performance.
2. Enhancing Network Utilization: Faster, optimized infrastructure increases transaction throughput and efficiency.
3. Decentralization: Reducing reliance on a single RPC provider enhances network resilience.
4. Improved User Experience: Lower latency and optimized query handling ensure smooth dApp operations.
Economic Benefits
1. Increased On-Chain Transactions: A high-performance RPC service will encourage more transactions, interactions, and contract executions, boosting on-chain activity.
2. Higher Asset Liquidity: Reliable infrastructure fosters a robust DeFi and NFT ecosystem, attracting investors and projects.
3. Sustainable Growth: With a scalable model, more businesses and developers will be incentivized to build on Conflux.
