Custom RPC Gateways | Bring Your Own RPC

Custom Gateways allow you to build and fully control your own RPC gateway inside Tatum’s RPC infrastructure. Instead of relying exclusively on Tatum-managed gateways, you can bring your own RPC providers, define routing rules, and enhance reliability using Tatum’s orchestration engine.

A Custom Gateway behaves like any standard RPC endpoint—compatible with your existing applications – but gives you flexibility, redundancy, and performance optimisation without vendor lock-in.

Key Benefits

Bring Your Own RPC (BYO-RPC): Connect any RPC endpoint from external providers
Endpoint Routing: Define how traffic flows across multiple endpoints,
Priority Failover: Sends traffic to the highest priority endpoint, falling back if becomes unhealthy.
Load Distribution: Evenly distributes traffic across all active endpoints using weighted round-robin.
Multi-Provider Redundancy: Add multiple RPC endpoints for the same chain. The gateway automatically manages routing, health checks, failover, and retries.
Performance Optimisation: Enable caching for the most important JSON RPC methods.
No Vendor Lock-in: Mix endpoint to avoid dependency on a single vendor.

How to create RPC Gateway?

There are two ways to create a Custom Gateway:

Create a Custom Gateway from scratch: This creates empty gateway with Tatum as default RPC provider where you manually add endpoints and routing.
Fork an Official Gateway: Clones an existing Tatum Gateway, including chain configuration.
