Berachain: Executing a Record 50,000+ RPS Chain Launch

Web3 moves fast, and Berachain moves faster. Berachain’s foundation required a 48 hour turnaround to launch support for mainnet, and with massive day one expectations, they needed the launch to be flawless.

Day one can make or break momentum in any chain, so Berachain needed easy to integrate and quick to launch endpoints for a swell of day one users. Their first experience would be critical in establishing developer and user trust in the ecosystem. With the anticipated interest, Berachain needed infrastructure capable of auto-scaling to handle peak traffic without any downtime.

Quicknode stepped in as Berachain’s early-access infrastructure partner, provisioning dedicated RPC endpoints that were ready for production in seconds. Quicknode secured each endpoint with configurable rate limits and method restrictions, ensuring no sensitive URLs were exposed. Behind the scenes, Quicknode’s globally distributed, auto-scaling network and failover safeguards ensured 99.99% uptime and instant scaling to meet sudden traffic bursts.
