Chainnodes

Chainnodes delivers the industry’s fastest and most developer-friendly blockchain infrastructure, helping crypto projects scale with confidence. At its core, the platform functions as a multi-chain RPC provider, allowing seamless access to networks like Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Gnosis, and Base. Built with reliability and scalability in mind, Chainnodes ensures low-latency, high-availability services that serve 140+ billion total requests and 21+ billion archival requests to date.

The platform offers multiple service tiers including Core (free), Developer, Team, and Growth plans, with guaranteed request volumes and request-per-second (RPS) caps suited for all use cases. Its infrastructure includes WebSocket support, archival data access, trace APIs, and ultra-fast response times, optimized for performance-driven applications like DEX routing, NFT metadata indexing, and gas analytics.

Chainnodes is also leading in validator infrastructure. Its signature product, The CHAINNODE, is a physical solo staking validator designed for decentralization enthusiasts. This device offers a compact, silent, ARM-based node with 4TB storage and just 15W energy consumption—ideal for eco-conscious Ethereum validators. It’s fully compatible with Dappnode OS and OBOL DVT clusters, offering a simple route to earning ETH rewards while supporting the health of the Ethereum network.

In comparison to infrastructure giants like QuickNode, Alchemy, GetBlock, and Infura, Chainnodes offers more transparent pricing, strict rate guarantees, and flexible integration for decentralized teams.

Chainnodes provides numerous benefits and features that make it a standout solution for Web3 developers and blockchain infrastructure providers:

• Multi-chain RPC Support: Full support for Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Gnosis, Base, and zkLink, including testnets and archived data access.
• Zero Compute Units: One request equals one billable action—ensuring cost transparency and predictable billing, a major improvement over competitors using compute units.
• Validator-as-a-Service: From solo staking with the Chainnode device to full validator cluster support via OBOL, users can deploy validators with high uptime and energy efficiency.
• Scalable Infrastructure: Built to handle billions of requests monthly with strict rate-limiting controls and flexible upgrade paths across paid tiers.
• WebSocket & Archive Support: WebSocket subscriptions, trace APIs, and deep history access with no extra fees—perfect for analytical tools and indexers.
• Global Latency Optimization: Servers distributed worldwide to minimize latency and maximize dApp performance across all chains.
• Hardware Solutions: CHAINNODE devices offer quiet, energy-efficient staking setups that are ready out-of-the-box and fit even the smallest environments.

Chainnodes offers a streamlined path for developers and enterprises to get started with fast Web3 infrastructure:

• Step 1 – Sign Up: Visit chainnodes.org and select a plan (free or paid) based on your project’s expected request volume.
• Step 2 – Get Your API Key: Upon sign-up, you’ll be issued a unique JSON RPC API key to begin making requests across all supported chains.
