ALL SOL MODULES REQUIRE A RPC NODE
PLEASE DO NOT DM ME ASKING WHAT GAS FEES/SETUP I USE, I PROMISE YOU WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM PERSON TO PERSON
What is a RPC?
RPCs are nodes that don't vote — but handle requests for working with on-chain data. Note that this configuration is not commonly found in other blockchains, such as Ethereum, where the Validator and RPC nodes are often one and the same.
Where can I get an RPC Node?
There are many available companies that sell/rent out RPC nodes. Please ask around in chat, I will also show some free examples here

Do free nodes work and are they good?
Yes, free nodes will work on the bot, will they be good? Probably not, most free nodes have a rps(request per second) and tps (transactions per second) limit. SOL is all about spamming transactions to the validator to push your transaction through. So yes, while a free node can work, I would look into renting or purchasing a rpc node.
95% of SOL modules are based on the quality of your RPC NODE. The RPC NODE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HOW GOOD YOUR SUCCESS RATE IS.
I highly recommend buying a VPS in the SAME location as your RPC node for maximum speed.
