Infrastructure & Availability

Do you offer Multi-AZ deployment?

Yes, Multi-AZ deployments are leveraged where supported to improve resiliency and fault tolerance.

How is high availability handled?

Our infrastructure is distributed across multiple regions with load balancing, automated failover, and continuous health monitoring.

How do you handle traffic spikes?

We use scalable infrastructure with dynamic resource allocation and intelligent workload distribution to maintain performance during peak demand.

Where can I check service status?

Live status, uptime metrics, and incidents are available at https://status.validationcloud.io/

Where are your nodes located, and which chains have archive support?

We operate globally distributed infrastructure across major regions. Archive availability varies by network. Please refer to chain-specific documentation or contact support for details.

RPC & Network Support

Which networks do you support?

We support a wide range of blockchain networks. The latest list is available at https://app.validationcloud.io/node/create-endpoint

Do you support archive nodes?

Yes, archive nodes are available on supported networks. Historical depth varies by chain.

What is the difference between a full node and an archive node?

A full node maintains current state and recent history. An archive node stores complete historical state from genesis for deep historical queries.

How far back does historical data go?

Historical data availability varies by network. Please consult chain-specific documentation for details.

Do you support WebSocket connections?

Yes, WebSocket support is network-dependent. Refer to the relevant chain documentation.

Do you support batch JSON-RPC requests?

Yes, batch JSON-RPC is supported where the network and endpoint allow it.

Do you support txpool methods?

Yes, where mempool functionality is exposed. Example documentation: https://docs.validationcloud.io/v1/mezo/execution-api/txpool_content

Do you support Ethereum Beacon RPC?

Yes, we do support Beacon RPC.

Billing & Usage

Can I upgrade or change plans?

Yes, plans can be upgraded or modified through your dashboard or by contacting our team.

How is usage calculated?

Usage is calculated based on total monthly Compute Unit consumption, which varies by network and RPC method.

What happens if my payment fails?

We retry the payment method on file. If it continues to fail, our team will contact you. Continued non-payment may result in API key suspension.

Security & Compliance

Are you SOC 2 compliant?

Yes, Validation Cloud is SOC 2 compliant, maintaining rigorous standards for security and operational integrity.

Is traffic encrypted?

Yes, all traffic is encrypted in transit using TLS.

How is customer data handled?

We apply strict access controls, encryption, monitoring, and security best practices aligned with SOC 2 standards.

How is infrastructure secured?

We employ layered security controls including network segmentation, access management, monitoring, and proactive threat detection.

Can I restrict requests to my Node API endpoint keys?

Yes. Teams on qualifying plans can use IP and/or domain restrictions to control which clients can make requests to keys. See: Allow Lists for Node API Endpoints

Can I turn on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for my login?

Yes. See: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Sign In

API & Access Management

Do you offer private endpoints?

Yes, private endpoints are available depending on network and configuration. Please contact our team for details.

Do you throttle or rate-limit requests?

We do not impose arbitrary throttling. Some networks may enforce protocol-level limits.

What should I do if my API key is exposed?

Immediately revoke and rotate the key in your dashboard. Contact support if suspicious activity is detected.

How do I rotate or regenerate my API key?

API keys can be revoked and regenerated from your dashboard.

How do I create an API key?

API keys can be generated from your dashboard under project or API settings.
