Why add a custom RPC?

Public endpoints rate-limit. Heavy snapshot or DAS calls often need a provider key/URL.

Does a custom RPC change fees?

Network fees are still paid on-chain. RPC billing is between you and the provider.

Is my private key sent to the RPC?

Signing stays in your wallet. RPC receives transactions you approve and read requests — use reputable providers.

Solana RPC and Custom Endpoints

Every tool that reads chain state talks to an RPC. Public RPCs are fine for light use; snapshots and DAS lookups may need a custom endpoint from the header settings.

After configuring RPC, try the Dashboard or a snapshot tool. Fund test wallets via Faucets.

Use the tool: Dashboard — Load wallet assets via your RPC.
