This guide walks you through account setup and our new region-specific RPC system that ensures you're always connected to the fastest available node.
Before diving into the details, here's what you need to know: o7 Node now enforces regional RPC connections to maximize speed and minimize latency. You'll be automatically assigned to either Virginia (North America) or Frankfurt (Europe) based on your location, but you can change this anytime through your dashboard.
Navigate to https://o7node.com to begin the setup process. If you have a referral link from another trader, use it during registration - this helps both you and your referrer.
After completing registration, the system automatically redirects you to your account homepage where you'll complete the remaining setup steps.
Security is paramount when dealing with trading infrastructure. After logging in with your credentials:
This two-factor verification ensures only you can access your RPC endpoints.
Your o7 Node account includes a dedicated Solana wallet for subscription management. In your account dashboard:
Your Accountsection
Copyto copy it to your clipboard - you'll need this for funding
Keep this address handy as it's where you'll send SOL to activate your service.
o7 Node operates on a prepaid model using Solana (SOL) for all subscriptions. To activate your service:
Once your transaction confirms on the Solana blockchain (typically within seconds), your account automatically activates. No manual intervention required.
Critical Update - Effective April 23, 2025: o7 Node now implements one-location-per-connection limits to ensure optimal performance. This means each API key connects to a single regional endpoint, reducing latency and improving reliability for high-frequency trading operations.
You will choose your region as you create your account. This smart routing ensures you start with the lowest latency connection possible.
To verify or change your assigned region:
o7 Node currently operates high-performance nodes in two strategic locations:
North America: Virginia data center
Europe: Frankfurt data center
Additional regions are under evaluation based on trader demand and network growth.
For algorithmic trading and high-frequency operations, latency is everything. Choose the region geographically closest to your trading infrastructure:
Once your region is set, update your connection strings to use the appropriate regional endpoint. Your dashboard provides the exact URLs for your assigned region.
Track these key metrics to ensure optimal performance: - Round-trip latency to your RPC endpoint - Request success rates - Rate limit utilization - Transaction confirmation times
While o7 Node maintains 99.9% uptime, implement these practices: - Cache critical data locally when possible - Implement exponential backoff for retries - Monitor endpoint health proactively - Keep your account funded to avoid service interruptions
With your o7 Node account configured and optimized for your region, you're ready to:
The regional RPC system ensures you always get the fastest possible connection, crucial for staying competitive in Solana's high-speed trading environment.
Remember: choosing the right region isn't just about geography - it's about giving your trading systems every possible advantage in execution speed.
