# Operator Onboarding

> Get started running Plasma non-validator nodes

Running a non-validator node on Plasma is permissionless. You can deploy on mainnet, testnet, or devnet using the public [non-validator-templates](https://github.com/PlasmaLaboratories/non-validator-templates) repository.

> [card] [Get started](https://docs.plasma.org/docs/node-operators/setup-and-configuration/non-validator-node-setup.md)
>
> Follow the Non-Validator Node Setup guide to deploy your node.

## Alternative Options

If you're not ready to operate your own nodes or prefer different approaches:

### RPC Providers

Use managed infrastructure with no setup required:

> [card] [QuickNode](https://www.quicknode.com/)
>
> Enterprise-grade RPC endpoints with global reach.

> [card] [Tenderly](https://tenderly.co/)
>
> Developer tooling and observability for EVM chains.

### Public RPC

A rate-limited public RPC endpoint is available for development and testing:

| Network | Endpoint |
| :- | :- |
| Mainnet | `https://rpc.plasma.to` |
| Testnet | `https://testnet-rpc.plasma.to` |

> [!WARNING]
>
> Rate limits apply. Public RPC endpoints are not suitable for production use.

## Future Opportunities

More ways to participate will become available as the network matures, including third-party consensus nodes post-mainnet launch and stake delegation to professional validators.
