What is a Telos RPC Node?
Access green, fast blockchain
A Telos RPC node provides applications with access to one of the fastest EVM blockchains, featuring 0.5-second blocks and a unique gas fee model where end users pay nothing. Telos is also carbon-negative, making it the greenest high-performance blockchain — combining speed, cost-efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
Why Telos is unique
Telos achieves what most blockchains can't: high performance (0.5s blocks, 10K TPS), zero user fees (subsidized gas), and carbon-negative operations. This combination makes Telos ideal for applications needing speed and sustainability without burdening users with gas costs.
Telos advantages:
- 0.5s blocks — fastest EVM blockchain
- Zero user fees — gas subsidized for end users
- Carbon negative — ESG compliant, greenest chain
- High throughput — 10,000+ TPS capacity
- No front-running — deterministic transaction ordering
- Proven tech — built on battle-tested EOSIO
Gas fee subsidization
Telos's innovative gas fee subsidization model means end users interact with dApps without paying gas fees. Developers cover a small, fixed fee (~$0.02) per transaction, but users experience frictionless interactions. This dramatically improves UX and removes a major barrier to blockchain adoption.
How Telos fees work:
- Users interact with dApps gas-free
- Developers pay fixed ~$0.02 fee per transaction
- Network validators earn from developer fees
- No variable gas market or price volatility
- Predictable costs for developers and users
Carbon-negative operations
Telos is carbon-negative and ESG compliant, offsetting more carbon than it produces. Built on efficient Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) rather than energy-intensive Proof of Work, Telos consumes minimal power while maintaining high performance and security.
For enterprises and projects prioritizing sustainability, Telos offers high performance without environmental guilt.
