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:

  1. choose the network you want to change
  2. paste your RPC URL
  3. 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.
