Base RPC Provider Checklist
What Base builders should compare before choosing managed RPC infrastructure.

How to use this guide
Turn the topic into a decision note.
Use this before you put app traffic on a public endpoint or a paid RPC plan. The useful output is a short workload note, not a vendor logo.
List reads, writes, logs, WebSockets, archive/debug calls, retries, and burst traffic before comparing plans.
Look for the metric that will break first: compute units, RPS, method support, support response, or fallback coverage.
Write down who owns provider alerts, status checks, migration, and the backup endpoint before users depend on it.
Separate public endpoint checks from production access
The public Base RPC endpoint is useful for chain setup and light testing. Production apps should compare managed providers, rate limits, archive/debug method support, WebSockets, and incident response.
Check the exact methods your app uses
A frontend that reads balances, an indexer that scans logs, and a backend that simulates transactions use different method mixes. Test those methods on the paid tier you expect to use.
Review support before launch
Support response time, dashboard visibility, error reporting, and provider status pages become more important once users depend on your app.

What to do after this guide
Compare at least two relevant products, open the source links, and write down the owner for pricing, support, compliance, security, accounting, or launch questions. The best tool depends on those constraints, not on a generic ranking.
