Empowering Builders on Swellchain with Nirvana's Purpose-Built Web3 Cloud Infrastructure and Goldsky’s powerful indexing.

We are excited to announce that Nirvana Labs now supports Swell mainnet nodes, with Goldsky Indexing Swellchain to power all web3 developers and builders on Swellchain. This partnership represents ongoing commitments from all teams to providing blockchain developers across a growing number of ecosystems with high-performance, reliable infrastructure tailored to the specific needs of web3 projects.

By supporting Swell, Nirvana Labs offers developers in that ecosystem access to our purpose-built web3 cloud infrastructure and managed RPC node services that are optimized to provide high-throughput, low-latency performance while trimming costs by reducing reliance on traditional cloud providers.

With Goldsky, you can get the data you need instantly with high-performance indexing, resilient subgraphs, and flexible data streaming pipelines—so you can focus on building great user experiences, not managing infrastructure.

To get started building on Swell today, learn how to use Nirvana’s managed RPC service and spin up a free RPC node here: Nirvana Node Set Up Guide.

About Swell:

Swell offers liquid staking and re-staking primitives for DeFi, along with the first vertically integrated L2 Restaked Rollup: Swellchain.

Swell offers several key features that make it a unique staking and DeFi platform:

● Swellchain: Swell L2 integrates into the Optimism Superchain using the OP Stack, featuring "Proof of Restake" for capital efficiency, ETH gas payments, and shared sequencer revenue, fostering DeFi growth and restaking innovation.

● Proof of Restake: This mechanism generates liquid restaked tokens (LRTs) to enhance asset utility, liquidity, and DeFi integrations, boosting ecosystem security and scalability.

● Restaked L2 Rollup: In collaboration with AltLayer, EigenDA, and Chainlink, Swellchain is a L2 rollup for liquid restaking, offering lower fees, scalability, and modular blockchain solutions for DeFi, gaming, and NFTs.

These features make Swell Network a versatile platform for Ethereum staking and DeFi participation.

Swellchain's use cases center around leveraging liquid restaking and integrating with DeFi for additional yield opportunities.

Main Use Cases of Swellchain:

● DeFi Innovations: Facilitates advanced decentralized finance applications by enabling liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) with enhanced utility and yield.

● Scalability Solutions: Offers modular, scalable blockchain infrastructure suitable for high-throughput use cases like gaming and NFTs.

● Restaking Hub: Provides a specialized ecosystem for restaking activities, maximizing asset productivity and aligning user incentives.

● Ecosystem Interoperability: Integrates seamlessly with the Optimism Superchain and Ethereum for enhanced network connectivity and lower costs.

● Yield Optimization: Boosts staking yields through Proof of Restake and collaborative rollup technology.

These use cases make Swell Network attractive for ETH holders who want the best of both staking and DeFi without the limitations of traditional staking lock-ups.

Benefits of Using Nirvana Labs for Building on Swell Network:

Nirvana Labs is the world’s first full-stack cloud platform crafted by crypto natives and cloud experts to handle the unique demands of blockchain applications.

Nirvana’s offerings include Nirvana Cloud, the world’s first bare metal cloud purpose-built for web3 companies, which is the backbone for its highly reliable load-balanced RPC nodes and enterprise-grade dedicated nodes.

Building on the Swell Network with Nirvana Labs offers web3 builders several benefits over existing options.

● Optimized Performance: Our infrastructure is optimized for efficient data processing and web3 workloads, ensuring our nodes provide higher throughput and lower latency than competitors’.

● Cost Efficiency: Because Nirvana Cloud is purpose-built to handle web3-specific applications, we reduce the need to overpay for traditional cloud services and help developers lower their operational costs.

● Reliability: Our globally distributed network of hubs and capabilities, such as offering flex nodes that route every API request to the nearest data center location that can provide the lowest latency response, provide developers with reliable and resilient service.

By combining bare metal infrastructure with a web3-centric operating system across more than a dozen data centers globally, Nirvana devours the intensive, dynamic workloads of blockchains while reducing cloud bills by as much as 80% compared to traditional providers.

How to Deploy your First Node on Swell Network

1. Visit Nirvana Labs' website and click on the "Sign Up" button to enter your details and create a free account. Confirm your account by responding to the email you’ll receive.

2. After logging into your new account, click on “Dashboard” to access your account dashboard. This will take you to an overview page of the RPC nodes you’re running and you can access.

3. Next, click on Create Node to initiate the process of setting up your RPC node. You will then be taken to a page with the supported blockchains by Nirvana Labs.

4. Select the Swell Network and specify whether you’re running an RPC node on the testnet. We recommend giving your node a unique and identifiable name for easier navigation.

5. Congratulations! You have successfully deployed a free RPC node on Swell Network using the Nirvana Labs platform.
