Clients

Chainstack supports deploying a dedicated Ethereum archive node on the mainnet in the following client implementations:

• Geth — the Go Ethereum (opens new window) implementation.
• Erigon — the Erigon (opens new window) implementation.

To be a part of the Ethereum mainnet, you can deploy either a Geth node or an Erigon node.

The key differences are in size and the RPC methods available:

• Geth — bigger in size; Geth JSON-RPC methods (opens new window).
• Erigon — smaller in size; Erigon RPC methods (opens new window).
