# RPC

***

### Node Access Overview

Leap offers two primary access options for Solana users, along with separate requirements for BNB traders.

***

#### 🆓 Leap Standard (Free Plan)

Leap Standard users bring their **own Solana RPC + gRPC** connections.\
You can use any provider of your choice, but it must support:

* High request throughput
* Low latency (<150ms preferred)
* gRPC connectivity for full functionality

If your node is slow or inconsistent, you may experience:

* “Context deadline exceeded” or timeout errors
* Failed transactions
* Delays in token data or position updates

To prevent this, use a premium RPC service or upgrade to **Leap Pro**.

***

#### ⚡ Leap Pro (Subscription Plan)

Leap Pro users gain access to Leap’s **built-in in-house RPC + gRPC infrastructure** — no setup required.\
Simply leave the RPC fields blank in settings, and the bot will auto-connect to the optimized Leap node network.

**Benefits**

* Ultra-low latency execution, purpose-built for Leap
* Automatic region balancing between multiple server locations
* Fully managed and monitored for uptime and stability
* Optimized transaction routing for 0-block copytrading

**Current Node Regions**

* 🇺🇸 Virginia (VA)
* 🇩🇪 Frankfurt (DE)

Leap Pro automatically selects the fastest location available, ensuring consistent sub-100ms response times for all tasks.

***

#### 💛 BNB License Holders

BNB Module users must bring their **own BNB RPC endpoint**.\
Leap does not currently include a built-in BNB node.

**Requirements:**

* Use a high-speed BNB RPC provider with low latency to your region
* Ensure the provider supports WebSocket or HTTP-based event subscriptions (for real-time trading)
* Reliable providers include **Ankr**, **QuickNode**, **GetBlock**, or any private BSC endpoint

**Tip:**\
If you experience delayed or failed transactions on BNB, it is almost always caused by a slow or overloaded RPC. Switching to a faster node resolves 99% of issues.

***

### 🧠 Best Practices

* Always use a **dedicated RPC**, not a shared public endpoint.
* For Leap Standard users, test node speed before starting multiple tasks.
* If running multiple modes (Scraper, AFK, Copytrader), ensure your RPC can handle simultaneous calls.
* Leap Pro users: leave the RPC fields blank to use the built-in network automatically.
* BNB users: use a premium provider close to your geographic region for best performance.

***

### 💬 Troubleshooting

If you see errors such as:

* `context deadline exceeded`
* `failed to fetch account info`
* `rpc connection timeout`

These are typically caused by slow or unreliable node responses.\
Try switching to a faster RPC, verify your gRPC connection, or contact Leap support via Discord.

### 📊 Summary

| Plan / License    | Node Access Type             | Setup                   | Regions                        | Notes                          |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ |
| **Leap Standard** | Bring your own RPC + gRPC    | Manual                  | User-defined                   | Works with any Solana provider |
| **Leap Pro**      | Built-in in-house RPC + gRPC | Automatic (leave blank) | 🇺🇸 Virginia · 🇩🇪 Frankfurt | Optimized for Leap, no setup   |
| **BNB License**   | Bring your own BNB RPC       | Manual                  | User-defined                   | Required for all BNB trades    |

Leap’s node infrastructure ensures that **Leap Pro users** benefit from the fastest Solana execution available, while **Leap Standard** and **BNB License** users retain full flexibility to use their own nodes and configurations.
