Use a custom profile when you already have provider contracts or run your own nodes. Your application keeps a standard JSON-RPC client. Lasso Cloud manages the provider pool behind its endpoint, so changing an upstream does not require an application redeployment.

Start with one request flow

Choose one chain and a stateless read your app already uses. Keep the existing endpoint available for rollback. Record its latency, errors and request volume before changing the route. Two providers can improve your options during an outage, but they may share infrastructure or disagree about the chain head. Custom access and upstream provider charges are separate. Check live pricing and your provider quotas before the trial.

Configure the pool

  1. Create a custom profile in the dashboard.
  2. Add the chosen chain and the two HTTP URLs from your existing providers.
  3. Check that each URL serves the intended chain and methods. Start with eth_chainId, eth_blockNumber and the exact read your app needs.
  4. Choose your block policy using the guidance below, then activate the profile.
  5. Send the same read through the profile endpoint and inspect its routing evidence.
Keep provider credentials in the configuration secret store. Do not put them in support screenshots, chat transcripts or application logs. Check the supported connection settings if a provider needs header authentication or a distinct WebSocket endpoint. Dashboard capability probes and management API probes have different scopes. The management probe, when advertised by the live API, checks chain identity and head with at most two calls. It does not establish archive, WebSocket or method coverage. Test those requirements separately.

Choose behavior for your workload

Block regression protection does not make independent latest contract calls a snapshot. Use Read at one block for related balances, nonces or contract values. Neither feature guarantees finality.

Update without changing the app endpoint

Start by adding or adjusting one provider. Verify its behavior, apply the profile change, then inspect routing evidence from the application. Cluster publication is not instantaneous; a successful local reconciliation does not prove every region has observed the change. For agent-managed changes, follow the management workflow. Read the current revision, preview the complete desired configuration, and retain one request UUID for an apply and its retries. Omitting a provider from the desired list removes it; omitting an existing provider’s secret preserves that secret. If a provider performs poorly, remove or correct it while other eligible providers remain available. Keep an application rollback for the evaluation. Provider outages, quota exhaustion across the whole pool and unsupported methods can still prevent a successful request.

Decide whether the trial worked

Compare the same request flow before and after the change: successful responses, p95/p99 latency, head freshness, upstream request volume and operational effort. Expand only when the evidence supports your workload. Add transaction broadcasting, historical queries and subscriptions as separate tests with their own recovery behavior.
