* In addition to the game default xDAI-provided <https://rpc-df.xdaichain.com> endpoint, xDAI also provides a number of other [public endpoints](https://www.xdaichain.com/for-developers/developer-resources).
* You can also run your own node locally [or on the cloud](https://dev-guides.zkga.me/images/connecting-to-the-blockchain/running-your-own-xdai-node)
* Cloud providers like [Quicknode](https://www.quicknode.com/) will run a node for you with a few clicks for a monthly fee.
* Last but not least, [Pocket Network](https://www.blog.pokt.network/darkforest/) has gifted the Dark Forest community an xDAI RPC load-balanced endpoint node at <https://poa-xdai.gateway.pokt.network/v1/lb/60b13899d3279c22da2a444d>
