Mission-critical
RPC Orchestration.
Smart Router sits in front of the RPC providers you already use, routing, validating, and observing every request across them. Keep your providers. Stop inheriting their outages, inconsistencies, and blind spots.
What is Smart Router?
Smart Router sits between your application and your RPC providers, monitors provider health, performance and data quality, and intelligently routes traffic based on real-time statistics and your policies.
It makes it easy for enterprises to build on top of any blockchain by providing automatic failover, caching, transaction acceleration, data consistency and cross-validation out of the box.

HeliusRPC doesn't meet enterprise standards
Mission-critical teams can't compromise on uptime, security, or performance.
RPC doesn’t guarantee any of these by default. As companies scale and go multi-chain, bridging the gap between blockchain infra and production standards becomes a full-time engineering effort.
59%
of incidents are RPC/node issues
46
chains down in a single RPC incident (peak)
85%
of scheduled maintenance is node work
RPC attacks
RPCs are a lucrative target for malicious groups. This presents worst-case scenarios for blockchain enterprises.
Downtime
RPC providers go down without warning. When they do, service fails, customers churn, and revenue is lost.
Engineering overhead
Building, maintaining and monitoring in-house RPC solutions drains your engineering team on a daily basis.
Limited visibility
Without unified monitoring, it is hard to know whether the issue is your app, the chain, or the RPC provider.
Old and incorrect data
Not all providers sync at the same rate, and not all agree on the same information, making it hard to show users consistent, accurate data.
High latency
Slow RPC creates a bumpy user experience especially during network congestion when it matters most.
A production-grade layer on top of your providers
RPC Security
Secure your app from RPC attacks.
Set data validation policies based on each operation's value and risk posture. Detect and flag inconsistencies.
Automatic failover
Mitigate downtime and remove reliance on any single provider.
Smart Router automatically fails over when providers return an error, with zero downtime to your application.
Enterprise deployment
Go live in days, not months.
Smart Router fits into your existing infrastructure with minimal integration effort. Deploy on-prem or as a managed solution.
Data consistency
Block old and inaccurate data.
Maintain data consistency across providers, and operate only with the most recent information.
Performance-based routing
Send traffic to the best-performing provider.
Route requests to the top-performing providers in real-time. Cache repeating queries for near-instant responses.
Unified observability
Evidence, not anecdote.
One dashboard across every provider and chain: latency, freshness, hedge & retry volume, consensus, and circuit-breaker trips.
Every request goes through a deliberate pipeline
Not round-robin. Each stage exists because a real production failure mode lives there.
- 01
Method-aware selection
A chain parser classifies each request (latest vs. archive, heavy vs. light, paid vs. free) and narrows to upstreams that can actually serve it. A weighted selector scores candidates on latency, sync, and availability, not round-robin.
- 02
Retry, hedge & circuit breaking
Failed or suspect responses retry on a different provider. Slow responses are hedged: first one back wins, cutting p99 latency. A 10-attempt cap and circuit breaker fail fast instead of looping.
- 03
Pre-request freshness checks
Drop providers lagging the freshest block height by more than a per-chain threshold (~10 blocks on Ethereum) before they get the request.
- 04
Cross-provider consensus
Fan a request to several providers and return only when N agree. A response-shape-aware comparator normalizes things like eth_getLogs ordering so honest providers don't look like disagreements.
- 05
Block-aware caching
JSON-RPC native and reorg-safe, keyed by block, not blind TTL. Replicas share one cache, so cache hits scale across the fleet.
- 06
Writes & per-request control
eth_sendRawTransaction fans out to every healthy provider in parallel. Per-request headers can pin a provider, force a cache refresh, raise the timeout, or enable debug logging.
