How SCS Supports web3 Developers Across Ecosystems
At SCS, we believe in empowering developers through comprehensive support, no matter what they are building. Here’s how we’re helping developers succeed:
High-Quality RPC Infrastructure
SCS offers a high-quality RPC Node service with exceptional performance and near-perfect uptime, ensuring smooth and reliable development on Soneium, Astar, and other Superchain networks in the future. SCS not only delivers industry-leading performance but also offers significant cost advantages for developers.
"The launch of the Soneium Mainnet is a significant step towards realizing our vision of building a decentralized future. Startale Cloud Services is here to provide developers with trusted infrastructure, allowing them to focus on driving innovation."

Our latest performance tests reveal that SCS is 2x faster on average compared to another RPC provider across all locations and types of calls, delivering lower latency and high reliability. Additionally, our competitive pricing structure ensures that developers can optimize costs without sacrificing quality. By providing a higher base capacity and lower auto-scaling fees, SCS remains the ideal choice for projects of all sizes.
Multi-Ecosystem Support
SCS's support doesn't stop with Soneium and Astar. We’re committed to actively expanding our support to the Superchain ecosystem, ensuring a collaborative environment for building the next generation of dApps.
"SCS's support for builders will play an essential role in Astar's efforts to expand its ecosystem to Soneium and the broader Superchain ecosystem. By providing critical infrastructure and resources, SCS helps developers create impactful dApps and drive adoption across interconnected networks."
