Dedicated blockchain nodes

Dedicated, auditable blockchain nodes on your own hardware

Your own nodes on dedicated servers, provisioned as code, monitored, upgraded on a schedule and taken out of rotation automatically when they fall behind.

We run dedicated, self-hosted blockchain nodes for crypto-asset service providers, payment firms and exchanges that need their own auditable infrastructure instead of a shared RPC provider. We deploy nodes for any public chain, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and its L2s (Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base), Solana, BNB Chain, TON and TRON, and for private EVM networks. Pricing starts at €350 per network per month, and setup takes 1–2 weeks.

Who it is for

  • Crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) authorised or applying under MiCA that must control and evidence their infrastructure
  • Payment and crypto-processing fintechs that rely on node data for deposits, withdrawals and reconciliation
  • Exchanges, custodians and wallets that cannot accept a third party seeing or rate-limiting their traffic
  • Teams running their own nodes today without monitoring, upgrades or failover

Why now

  • Your shared RPC provider rate-limited you, went down, or returned stale blocks at a bad moment
  • Auditors or regulators ask where your blockchain data comes from and who controls that infrastructure
  • Under DORA (since 17 Jan 2025), a third-party node provider is one more ICT supplier to register, assess and contract
  • Your own nodes fall behind after upgrades, and nobody notices until a deposit goes missing

What you get

  • Dedicated servers sized per network, provisioned with Terraform and configured with Ansible
  • Private access over a mesh VPN, with no public RPC endpoint unless you want one
  • Chain-aware health checks: a daemon checks block height and sync state, not just whether a port answers
  • Load balancing (HAProxy) that sends traffic only to healthy, in-sync nodes and removes lagging ones automatically
  • Rolling upgrades for client releases and hard forks, one node at a time
  • Monitoring and alerts with Prometheus, Grafana and Alertmanager, routed to your team or ours
  • Documentation and access records you can show an auditor: what runs where, who can reach it, how it is changed

How it works

  1. Choose networks

    We agree which chains, how many nodes per chain, full or archive, and where they run.

  2. Provision

    Servers ordered in your name, built with Terraform and Ansible, and joined to a private mesh VPN.

  3. Sync and verify

    Nodes sync, health checks and load balancing are switched on, and failover is tested.

  4. Operate

    Monitoring, alerts, rolling upgrades and a monthly report on sync health and changes.

Networks

We are not limited to a fixed list. A node is a client binary, a disk, a sync process and a health check, and we build all four as code for whatever chain you need. These are the major networks:

Family Networks
Bitcoin and forks Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash
Ethereum and EVM Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon PoS, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche C-Chain, Gnosis, private EVM networks
Other L1s Solana, TON, TRON, XRP Ledger, Cardano, Polkadot, Cosmos SDK chains, NEAR, Aptos, Sui, Stellar

Networks in bold run in our production fleet today. Anything else (another L2, an appchain, a testnet or a private network) is available on request: we check the client software and hardware needs and quote it the same way.

Why “the port answers” is not a health check

A node can accept connections and still be hours behind the chain. If your deposit service reads from it, payments look missing. Standard load-balancer checks do not see this.

Our health checks ask each node what block it is on and compare it with the network. Only nodes that are in sync receive traffic. A node that falls behind after an upgrade, a restart or a disk problem is removed automatically and put back when it has caught up.

Built to be explained to an auditor

Everything is defined as code. Terraform creates the servers, Ansible configures them, and access goes through a mesh VPN with policies in Git. When an auditor asks who can reach your nodes, how they are changed and how you would rebuild them, the answer is a repository, not a memory.

The servers are rented in your name, so the infrastructure stays yours if you ever stop working with us.

What we do not do

We do not provide custody, staking or validator services, and we do not hold private keys. We run the infrastructure that your applications read from and broadcast through.

Questions clients ask

Which blockchains do you support?

Any public chain, and private EVM networks. The major ones are listed in the table on this page: the Bitcoin family, Ethereum and EVM chains (Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche and others) and other L1s such as Solana, TON, TRON, XRP Ledger, Cardano and Cosmos-based chains. Eight of them run in our production fleet today. For any other network we check the client software and its hardware needs, then quote it the same way.

How much does a dedicated blockchain node cost?

Our fee starts at €350 per network per month, excluding VAT. The dedicated servers are separate: they are rented in your name, so you own the infrastructure. Heavy networks such as Solana or archive Ethereum need larger servers.

Why not just use a public RPC provider?

For many projects, that is fine. Regulated firms often need more: data that no third party can see or filter, no shared rate limits, and infrastructure they can describe to an auditor. Your own nodes give you that.

What happens when a node falls behind?

Our health check compares the node's block height with the network. If it lags, the load balancer stops sending it traffic until it catches up, and an alert goes out. Your application keeps talking to healthy nodes.

Do you hold keys or custody funds?

No. We run nodes for reading chain data and broadcasting transactions. Key management and custody stay with you and your custody provider.

How long does setup take?

Usually 1–2 weeks. Most of that time is the initial sync, which depends on the network.
