# Custom RPC URIs

> Use your own RPC endpoints for blockchain interactions

## Overview

In addition to the default RPC URIs provided by Yield.xyz, you can configure **custom RPC URIs** if you have your own internal RPC nodes or a third-party provider you prefer to use.

<Info>
  Once a custom RPC URI is added for a network, **all requests** to that blockchain will be routed through your endpoint.

## Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Use reliable providers">
    Choose RPC providers with high uptime and low latency. Consider using providers like Alchemy, Infura, or QuickNode for production.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Monitor rate limits">
    Ensure your RPC provider has sufficient rate limits for your expected traffic volume.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Test before production">
    Verify your custom RPC works correctly in a test environment before deploying to production.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Secure your endpoints">
    If your RPC requires authentication, ensure credentials are properly secured and rotated.
