Get Started
You can connect to the Palm network using RPC API services offered by a commercial node provider (see options below) or via your own node service that you set up and maintain.
More specific information on running a node on Palm network is found on Self-hosted nodes.
Running an Ethereum node can be challenging when you are trying to scale or get started quickly. There are services that run optimized node infrastructures that connect applications in just a few seconds with a single line of code so that you can focus on developing. Additionally, you can run your own node should you decide to help secure the network and take a more decentralized approach.
