Trader Node
A Trader Node is a service providing a regional-based endpoints which are tightly bound to particular location.
Warp transactions
Trader nodes are extremely useful when used with Warp transactions on Solana, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain.
Modes
For Trader Nodes deployed on the most of public chains, Chainstack supports 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.
- Warp transactions — nodes dedicated to propagating and landing transaction at the fastest speed possible. See Warp transactions.
The following modes are available per each protocol:
| Protocol | Full | Archive | Full mode querying limits | Warp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | Latest 128 blocks | |||
| Solana | Up to the first block available on the node. ~1.5 days worth. The archive mode is limited to specific calls. See Limits at the bottom of the page. | |||
| BNB Smart Chain | Latest 128 blocks | |||
| Polygon | Latest 128 blocks | |||
| Base | ||||
| Avalanche | Latest 32 blocks of C-Chain | |||
| TON | There’s no difference between a full node and an archive node in data availability or pricing. All data is always available and all node requests are consumed as 1 request unit. | |||
| Arbitrum | Latest 128 blocks | |||
| zkSync Era | Latest 24 hours | |||
| Polygon zkEVM | A full node currently stores the full blockchain data and an archive of historical states starting from the chain genesis. | |||
| Optimism | Latest 128 blocks | |||
| Aptos | Latest 100,000,000 transactions | |||
| Oasis Sapphire | A full node currently stores the full blockchain data and an archive of historical states starting from the chain genesis. | |||
| Gnosis Chain | 1,024 MB of historical states. ~10 hours worth of immediately previous blocks. | |||
| Cronos | Latest 100 blocks | |||
| Fantom | As Sonic, the Fantom client, does not have automatic state pruning implemented, there is currently no difference between a full node and an archive node. | |||
| Harmony | Latest 128 blocks | |||
| Starknet |
Dedicated gateways
A dedicated gateway is one of the Trader Node customization features that is available on the Enterprise plan.
Dedicated gateways process connections and traffic exclusively for a specific customer, avoiding potential issues from handling multiple customers’ workload. This ensures a stable and reliable connection while reducing the likelihood of connection errors.
