Private Regions

Available only with Elite and Ultra services bundle

The Private Regions give users access to bloXroute’s private regional relays, designed to reduce latency and improve transaction/bundle delivery.

What You Get

You can:

• Route transactions and bundles through private regional relays

• Improve propagation speed and delivery success

How It Works

• When a Gateway starts, it automatically pings all relays available under your account and connects to the one with the lowest latency.

• You can override the default by forcing the Gateway to connect to a specific relay using the --relay-ip startup argument.

For Gateway users:

--relay-ip <RELAY_IP>

Relay Types

Type	Description
Public Relays	Located in London, Virginia, Frankfurt, Singapore. Available to all users.
Private Relays	Available only with Elite and Ultra services bundle. Ideal for users in regions with high latency to public relays.

Why It Matters

The closer your node is to a relay, the faster it can hear and send transactions. Traders and node operators with latency-sensitive workflows benefit the most — especially those with global infrastructure who want to bring the BDN closer to their edge locations.
