Acceptable Use

How to use the service fairly

Xbinodes is shared infrastructure. Most normal application traffic is fine. Abuse, unsafe load patterns, and queries designed to scan huge amounts of chain data are not.

Allowed

  • Normal dApp, wallet, backend, bot, and analytics traffic within your plan limits.
  • Reasonable eth_getLogs queries with targeted filters and practical block ranges.
  • Trace and debug methods if your plan allows them and your usage stays within quota.

Not allowed

  • Traffic intended to degrade service for other users.
  • Massive broad scans with no practical filters that overload shared nodes.
  • Bypassing plan limits, rotating keys to avoid quotas, or automating abuse against the platform.
  • Using the service for illegal activity or to attack other systems.

Heavy RPC methods

  • Standard requests count as 1 request unit.
  • eth_getLogs counts as 5 request units.
  • debug_* and trace_* methods count as 20 request units.
  • eth_getLogs is currently limited to a maximum block range of 10,000 blocks per request.

Enforcement

Xbinodes may throttle, reject, or temporarily suspend traffic that threatens service stability, even if the behavior is technically possible through the endpoint.
