1RPC review
A privacy-oriented RPC relay with free access and paid WebSocket, LCD, and testnet support.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
1RPC provides a relay for applications and developers connecting to supported blockchain networks through public or API-key endpoints. It is aimed at teams that want RPC access with a privacy-focused relay, including solo developers and small or mid-market organizations. The vendor describes its TEE-based relay as intended to limit exposure of request metadata such as IP addresses, device information, and timestamps. Its network directory lists more than 62 networks, with chain and protocol details, and the platform is available through the web and API.
The plan structure distinguishes access and service levels. Public offers public endpoints, privacy-protected relays, multi-region coverage, and best-effort uptime. Starter adds a custom API key and API-key endpoint access, while retaining best-effort uptime. Personal costs $9.90 per month and adds WebSocket and LCD endpoints plus a 99.9% uptime SLA. Developer costs $29.90 per month and adds testnet support to those paid-plan features. The product is freemium, so developers can begin with public access; published plans also include daily request quotas.
Its strongest fit is teams whose need centers on connecting to networks via RPC rather than a broader development platform. Web3.js, Python web3, and the Go Ethereum client library are listed as supported, and documentation and chat are support channels. WebSocket, LCD, and testnet access are gated to paid tiers, and the Public and Starter plans specify best-effort uptime rather than the paid plans’ SLA. 1RPC does not provide data indexing or contract deployment, so developers seeking those capabilities should consider a platform with a wider toolset. Choose it for privacy-oriented RPC access; look elsewhere when RPC is only one part of a larger build and deployment workflow.
