RPC / Nodes (recommended + buy)
RPC directly affects minting speed & success. Start free, and get a paid dedicated RPC once competitive mints become frequent.
Free (to start)
- Chainlist — chainlist.org Search your chain, copy public RPC addresses → paste into the Nogada [RPC] screen. Keep only the low-ping ones.
Paid (strongly recommended for competitive mints)
| Provider | Model | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Alchemy — alchemy.com | Pay-as-you-go (add card) | ~$1–5/mo for 50 wallets. Many RPC URLs per account. Easiest. |
| DRPC — drpc.org | Credit top-up | No rate limits. Small top-up lasts long. Many URLs per account. |
| Ankr — ankr.com | Credit top-up | Large infra. |
| QuickNode — quicknode.com | Monthly subscription | Stable. |
| Infura — infura.io | Free/paid | Ethereum standard. |
Tips
- Different providers work better on different chains. Keep 1–3 ready and pick the fastest via Test on the [RPC] screen.
- The lower the supply / more FCFS the mint, the more RPC speed & stability matter — paid dedicated RPC wins on those days.
- No 100% answer. Your own tested experience is the best guide.
