About ThorNode
ThorNode is a private Solana RPC (Remote Procedure Call) service built and operated by Thor Labs. It gives Solana users—traders, builders, bot operators, and projects—dedicated, rate-limited access to high-performance RPC endpoints so they can submit transactions and query the chain reliably, even during heavy network load. Access is token-gated via ThorNode Pass NFTs (Classic, Elite, Prime, Gold, and Honorary). Holders authorize one or more IP addresses, choose a nearby node location, and use the provided RPC URL in their wallet, bot, or app configuration.
Beyond pure connectivity, ThorNode maintains multiple Solana regions (U.S., EU, and APAC) and a global load balancer called “Asgard,” allowing users to route requests through the closest or most responsive endpoint. Thor Labs also offers an entry-level product called FlashNode, a low-cost, private Solana RPC plan designed for individual users who want predictable performance without running their own infrastructure.
What makes ThorNode special?
ThorNode combines NFT-gated access with multi-region Solana infrastructure and optional managed endpoints. This design lets users self-serve private connectivity (Classic/Elite) while offering a path to dedicated, managed RPCs (Prime) that include a 24/7 support plan and bespoke provisioning. There are also lifetime-access options (Gold) and honorary passes for community contributors.
Another notable element is rewards distribution for certain pass tiers. Classic and Elite holders are eligible for monthly “staking reward” distributions funded from royalties and/or renewal income, with snapshots taken randomly and rewards airdropped mid-month. This is a programmatic policy of the provider; it is not trading advice and returns are not guaranteed. If you plan to rely on rewards, read the economics page carefully.
Finally, operational visibility stands out. The status page lists per-region uptime and incidents (e.g., Virginia, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo), and the docs make clear that locations may change as demand shifts. For users who need consistency during congested periods, that mix of redundancy and communication is practical.

Free
ThorNode uses pass-based access with different tiers and renewal rules:
FlashNode: $25 per month; 200 RPS; unlimited requests; 1 IP per pass; currently Los Angeles.
ThorNode Pass (Classic/Elite, etc.): renewal pricing uses a monthly schedule that decreases daily as the month progresses; passes expire at the end of each month. The exact daily pricing table is published in the renewal section; confirm the current schedule before you renew.
Prime Pass: managed dedicated RPCs provisioned on request with 24/7 support; availability is limited; contact the team before purchase. Pricing is not listed publicly in the docs and requires coordination.
You can acquire passes through Magic Eden; for Prime, contact the team first as instructed in the documentation. If pricing or availability is not listed, treat it as unavailable and confirm directly.
Pro Tips
Tip 1
If you move or your server’s IP changes, re-run the Discord bot’s auth command to update your authorized IP before sending traffic.
Tip 2
Choose the closest live region (e.g., New York for U.S. East, Amsterdam or Germany for EU) or use Asgard if advised in Discord—latency matters for transaction submission.
