Chainstack supports major blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Polygon, Hyperliquid, Arc, 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.
