RPCWatch: Real RPC Node Health Monitoring

Monitor latency, block production and availability across 500+ chains, with alerts when nodes fail

Problem

Web3 developers often hit flaky RPC nodes where transactions don't go through or hang. Chainlist only shows whether an RPC connects, but connecting doesn't mean it's fast or actually producing blocks. One developer built a tool offering real-time latency, block height verification, a gas tracker and RPC monitoring alerts. This shows 'looks connected but is actually unusable' is a daily pain in Web3 development, and existing tools fall short.

Solution

An RPC health monitoring service for Web3 developers. It continuously probes multiple RPC endpoints across many chains, measures real latency, verifies block height progression, detects whether a node is producing blocks, and alerts via email or webhook when something breaks. A simple dashboard and API help developers find usable nodes fast.

Users

Web3 developers, DApp teams, trading bot authors needing reliable RPC

MVP

Continuous probing of RPC endpoint latency across major chains; block height verification to detect stalled nodes; email/webhook alerts on anomalies; simple dashboard showing per-chain status; basic status view without registration

Revenue

Free basic status view plus paid monitoring (custom endpoints, alerts, historical data, API); team tier with multiple members and longer data retention

Why now

The number of Web3 developers keeps growing, yet RPC reliability remains unsolved and existing comparison sites don't verify actual block production, leaving a clear niche for focused monitoring
