Modes and types
Types
Chainstack supports 2 types of nodes for public chains: elastic node and dedicated node. Elastic nodes are available for all networks by default. To get a dedicated node, you’ll have to contact us directly.
Modes
For most of the available public chains, Chainstack supports deploying nodes in the following modes:
- Full — a node that stores full blockchain data. However, it has limitations to how many blocks are available for querying.
- Archive — a node that stores full blockchain data and an archive of historical states, which makes it possible to query any block since the chain genesis.
- Trader — a node that propagates transactions to the global mempool at high speed. See Trader nodes.
The following modes are available for on-platform public chains:
| Protocol | Full | Archive | Full mode querying limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | Latest 128 blocks | ||
| Solana | Up to the first block available on the node. ~1.5 days worth. | ||
