Custom RPC
Custom RPC lets you override Monarch's default network RPC for a specific chain.
Most users do not need this. But if you already have a preferred RPC provider, your own private endpoint, or just want to use a different node for a specific chain, Monarch lets you set it directly.
Where to set it
Open Monarch settings and go to the RPC section.
From there:
- choose the network you want to change
- paste your RPC URL
- save it
You can also:
- reset a single network back to default
- reset all custom RPCs at once
When it is useful
Custom RPC is mostly for users who want more control over how Monarch reads onchain data.
Typical reasons include:
- preferring a specific provider
- using a private or premium RPC
- avoiding issues with a public/default endpoint
- wanting consistent behavior across the chains you use most
Good practical advice
Only set a custom RPC if you already know why you want one.
If Monarch is working well for you, leaving the defaults alone is usually the right move.
