Chainstack is a blockchain node platform that powers global Web3 applications across fintech, DeFi, wallets, custodians, gaming, AI agents, trading, and analytics.
Chainstack's core products include Global Node, low-latency RPC endpoints for everyday workloads; Dedicated Node, single-tenant nodes with guaranteed resources for heavy workloads; reliable infrastructure built for trading bots and MEV strategies; and Unlimited Node, an add-on for unmetered request scaling. Together with Chainstack Self-Hosted for teams that need infrastructure on their own premises, these products cover every stage from prototyping to institutional-scale deployment.
Chainstack supports major blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Polygon, Hyperliquid, Robinhood Chain, and other EVM-based and non-EVM chains, with elastic (auto-scaling) and dedicated node instances across mainnet and testnet. For Solana-focused trading and MEV operators, Chainstack offers the Yellowstone gRPC Geyser plugin for real-time on-chain data streaming and Jito ShredStream for low-latency transaction propagation.
Deployment options span the public cloud, preferred service providers, or fully self-hosted infrastructure, all managed through a single console with standardized node management across chains and environments. Core infrastructure features include global load-balanced RPC endpoints, blockchain data APIs, node monitoring, and request-unit-based usage tracking, keeping performance predictable and costs transparent as usage grows.
Chainstack offers a free Developer plan alongside paid Growth, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans, so teams can start building at no cost and scale into preferred infrastructure setup as usage grows.
Teams cut time-to-market, cost, and risk with a single platform for blockchain nodes, whether in the cloud, through a preferred service provider, or self-hosted. Standardized node management across chains and environments puts reliability on autopilot and keeps performance predictable.
Operators get control and transparency, while developers get a consistent way to build and scale. Fintech companies, DeFi protocols, wallets, custodians, trading firms, analytics platforms, and Web3 service providers running fleets use Chainstack as the fastest way to run reliable, predictable blockchain nodes at scale.

Raiden Network
The Raiden Network is an off-chain scaling solution, enabling near-instant, low-fee and scalable payments. It’s complementary to the Ethereum blockchain and works with any ERC20 compatible token. The Raiden project is work in progress. Its goal is to research state channel technology, define protocols and develop reference implementations. The Raiden Network is an infrastructure layer on top of the Ethereum blockchain. While the basic idea is simple, the underlying protocol is quite complex and the implementation non-trivial. Nonetheless the technicalities can be abstracted away, such that developers can interface with a rather simple API to build scalable decentralized applications based on the Raiden Network. The basic idea of the Raiden Network is to avoid the blockchain consensus bottleneck. This is done by leveraging a network of payment channels which allow to securely transfer value off-chain, i.e without involving the blockchain for every transfer.
