It\u2019s the same <span class=\"s1\"><b>battle\u2011tested engine<\/b><\/span> that powers thousands of requests per second across the dRPC ecosystem, giving developers a proven foundation to self\u2011host at scale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">NodeCraft builds <span class=\"s1\"><b>on top of NodeCore<\/b><\/span>, offering <span class=\"s1\"><b>custom modules, expert integrations, and deployment support<\/b><\/span> for teams that need more than a standard setup. While NodeCore is open and community\u2011driven, NodeCraft delivers production\u2011grade extensions \u2014 tailored auth systems, observability stacks, and routing logic \u2014 built and tuned by the same engineers who maintain the NodeCore codebase.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p4\"><b>Can we deploy NodeCraft custom RPC infrastructure in multiple regions?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yes. NodeCraft is <span class=\"s1\"><b>built for multi\u2011region and latency\u2011aware scaling<\/b><\/span> from day one. You can deploy it in multiple data centers worldwide and route traffic automatically to the lowest\u2011latency endpoint. Regional failover, traffic segmentation, and capacity planning are part of the design \u2014 ensuring your dApp remains fast and resilient wherever your users are.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Like all dRPC products, NodeCraft\u2019s routing stack is <span class=\"s1\"><b>battle\u2011tested under real\u2011world traffic<\/b><\/span> from high\u2011TPS dApps and rollups.
