uQuad RPC Summary
Updated: 2026-06-03

uQuad RPC is a private Cosmos RPC service surface.

It provides API-key-gated access to selected self-hosted Cosmos nodes for apps,
wallets, indexers, relayers, and operators that need a private endpoint lane.

CU purchase page:

https://rpc.uquad.org/buy.html

CU quote request packet:

https://rpc.uquad.org/data/cu-quote-request.json

It is separate from:

- the main QUAD public website
- Infra memory and storage products
- Core monetary state
- Bridge passage and host-asset movement
- Liquid motion and market surfaces

Current public customer endpoint hostnames:

- cosmos.rpc.uquad.org
- osmosis.rpc.uquad.org
- dydx.rpc.uquad.org
- noble.rpc.uquad.org
- akash.rpc.uquad.org
- stride.rpc.uquad.org

Celestia is available by deliberate request.

lava.rpc.uquad.org is a provider lane, not customer raw RPC.

Access posture:

- private by default
- quote-first
- customer and quote identifiers required before payment
- the quote request names the wallet that will own the CU allowance
- API key required for customer endpoint requests
- unauthenticated customer endpoint requests are refused

Pricing posture:

- usage is referenced in compute units (CU)
- public reference: USD-target value per CU bundle
- settlement happens in an accepted crypto denom at accepted quote-time value
- heavy, archive-like, abusive, or unusual usage requires separate quote terms

How to buy CU:

1. Choose a starting allowance or request a custom allowance.
2. Request a quote with the chains, interfaces, preferred payment denom, and
   expected usage.
3. Receive the quote-issued payment address, amount, memo, allowance, expiry,
   and endpoint boundary.
4. Pay the quote exactly.
5. Receive the API key, allowance, endpoint hostnames, rate limits, and top-up
   rule after confirmation.

Reference bundles:

- 1,000,000 CU: $2 USD-target reference
- 25,000,000 CU: $50 USD-target reference
- 100,000,000 CU: $200 USD-target reference
- Custom: quote-only

Payment posture:

- payment rails are published at https://rpc.uquad.org/data/payment-rails.json
- the CU payment feed is published at https://rpc.uquad.org/data/cu-payments.json
- do not send funds without wallet address, quote ID, invoice ID, and memo
- preferred memo format: rpc:<wallet_address>:<quote_id>
- accepted denoms are quote-controlled
- payment observation credits endpoint access only after the quote path accepts it
- the paying wallet is the customer identity unless the quote says otherwise

Public boundary:

- not a token sale
- not an airdrop
- not a faucet
- not a node-earning program
- not public free RPC
- not Infra memory revenue until admitted through the correct accounting lane
- not validator commission
- not provider payout
- not relayer gas float
- not Core value admission
- not Bridge finality
- not Liquid settlement

RPC observation is not chain truth, custody, admission, settlement, ordering, or
finality guarantee.
