// How to get started with dRPC
Built only from what is documented on this page as of 2026-10-02 - anything not documented stays a gap on purpose.
- Open the provider site
Everything happens on drpc.org - we count the click, nothing else changes for you.
- Pick the smallest unit that still works
Price from $0 per month - start with the minimum, not with the plan the checkout page pushes.
- Read the term before you sign
refund: Prepaid and effectively non-refundable: services are debited in advance and the user waives refund and…. A term you did not read is money you cannot get back.
- Verify the output, not the dashboard
No independent proof is documented. Withdraw the first payout early and compare it with the pool worker or your own wallet.
Then run the math: mining calculator · contract vs. HODL · all RPC nodes providers.

What "legit" does not mean
A real, operating provider can still lose you money: with a contract you own no hardware, revenue follows coin price and difficulty, and most published contracts are priced so the seller comes out ahead. "Legit" means the operator exists and pays what its terms promise - not that the deal is profitable. 12 dated sources back this page; they are listed under sources.
