OnFinality Powers peaq Mainnet Launch with High-Performance RPC and Validator Nodes
Discover how OnFinality supported the peaq mainnet launch with reliable peaq RPC endpoints, validator nodes, and scalable infrastructure for DePIN.
At OnFinality, our mission is to empower Web3 developers by delivering fast, reliable, and scalable blockchain infrastructure. In this case study, we explore how peaq, the leading Layer-1 blockchain for DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) and the Machine Economy, leveraged OnFinality’s peaq RPC and validator node services to achieve a smooth and successful mainnet launch in November 2024.
Summary
peaq partnered with OnFinality to ensure stability, scalability, and reliability throughout its mainnet rollout. By integrating OnFinality’s peaq RPC endpoints, peaq validator node infrastructure, and expert onboarding support, the network maintained seamless connectivity for developers, validators, and users around the world.
“OnFinality’s support was crucial for the mainnet launch. Their robust infrastructure, validation services, and hands-on guidance greatly helped to make peaq’s launch a seamless experience for the global community of DePIN enthusiasts.”
– Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of peaq
About peaq
peaq is the leading Layer-1 blockchain for DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) and the Machine Economy, built on Polkadot. It enables vehicles, devices, and machines to own assets, transact, and earn autonomously on-chain.
With a growing ecosystem of projects and millions of on-chain transactions, peaq is driving real-world adoption of Web3 through connected hardware and decentralized infrastructure. Developers and validators rely on peaq RPC endpoints, peaq nodes, and peaq validator services to build, scale, and secure the network efficiently.
The Challenges Of A Mainnet Launch
Launch-Day Usage Spikes
As with any major network launch, peaq anticipated a surge in usage from wallets, explorers, and dApps. These applications required fast and stable peaq RPC endpoints to broadcast and query transactions.
Validation Services
Network validators, which produce blocks and maintain the network, were crucial for the mainnet’s success. OnFinality’s own node is supporting peaq’s day-to-day operations securely and reliably.
How OnFinality Helped
Global RPC Infrastructure
OnFinality deployed enterprise-grade peaq RPC infrastructure, ensuring developers, wallets, and explorers could interact with the network through consistent, high-performance endpoints. The RPC network provided redundancy, geo-balancing, and automatic scaling to handle unpredictable mainnet traffic.
Validator Node Services
OnFinality actively supported the peaq validator ecosystem by maintaining a dedicated validator node throughout the first 12 months of mainnet. This validator strengthened block production reliability and helped stabilize the early network state.
Community Node Support
To accelerate decentralization, OnFinality added peaq to its Dedicated Node Marketplace, enabling community members to easily deploy their own peaq nodes and validators. With one-click setup, monitoring tools, and expert support, running a peaq validator node became simpler and more accessible.
The Results
The peaq mainnet launched flawlessly, with zero downtime and seamless scaling under high demand. OnFinality’s peaq RPC endpoints handled thousands of requests per second with consistent low latency, while validator operations maintained strong finality and uptime. Together, these services created a resilient foundation for peaq’s growing DePIN ecosystem.
This case study highlights OnFinality’s ability to deliver reliable, scalable solutions tailored to the unique challenges of blockchain projects, empowering teams to focus on innovation while leaving infrastructure concerns to trusted experts.
