AMD EPYC 922424 cores · 128 GB DDR5 ECC · 2 × 1.92 TB NVMe
The balanced node box: 24 Genoa cores, 128 GB and 3.84 TB of NVMe in RAID 0 for chain data — Bitcoin, Monero and an Ethereum pair side by side.
Blockchain nodes
Full nodes that never fall behind
Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum nodes, validators and RPC endpoints need what a VPS rarely gives: fast NVMe that never throttles, real memory for caches and a port that is not metered. Pay for the machine in the coin you are running.

- UnmeteredP2P traffic never counted
- ECCmemory on every server

What this workload needsWorkload profile
- Storage that keeps upInitial sync is a random-I/O marathon. Datacenter NVMe finishes it in hours instead of days, and keeps up with new blocks without lag.
- Room for chain dataA Bitcoin node passes 750 GB in 2026 and a comfortable Ethereum execution + consensus pair wants 2 TB of NVMe. Plan for growth, not today’s size.
- Memory for cachesA larger database cache (Bitcoin’s dbcache, Geth’s cache) shortens sync and reduces disk writes. 128 GB leaves plenty for several chains at once.
- Peers and bandwidthNodes serve blocks to hundreds of peers. An unmetered port means no bill for being a good network citizen.

Setting it up
Advice from our engineers
The first hour on a new server decides how the next year goes.
Where to host it
Frankfurt and Amsterdam are dense in peers and exchanges; Singapore and New York keep latency low for Asian and American users of an RPC endpoint.
Compare latency from your users- Put chain data on RAID 0 (or no RAID): it can always be re-synced, and you double the space. Keep the OS on a small mirrored partition.
- Size caches before the first sync, e.g.
dbcache=8192for Bitcoin Core, then lower it once synced. - Open the P2P ports you need — 8333 (Bitcoin), 18080 (Monero), 30303 (Ethereum execution), 9000 (most consensus clients) — our DDoS filtering leaves legitimate peer traffic untouched.
- Run RPC behind a firewall or reverse proxy: never expose an unauthenticated RPC port to the internet.
FAQ
Questions about blockchain nodes
Still have a question?
Ask the engineers who run the servers — median first reply under 15 minutes, 24/7.
Contact usCan I pay for a node server with the coin it runs?
Yes. We accept 14 coins, including BTC, XMR, ETH and USDT, with no surcharge.
Is running a validator allowed?
Yes. Validators, full nodes, archive nodes, indexers and RPC endpoints are all welcome — it is a whole machine, configured the way your client needs.
What if a disk fails during a sync?
We replace a failed disk within 2 hours. With chain data on RAID 0 you re-sync from peers; the OS on its mirror is unaffected.
