Elastic Nodes

Elastic Nodes by Chainstack provide a globally distributed, geo-load-balanced RPC infrastructure designed to deliver ultra-low latency and unbounded throughput for blockchain applications. Built on an award-winning architecture, these nodes automatically route requests to the nearest and most performant servers worldwide, ensuring consistent sub-second response times and over 99.99% uptime. This infrastructure supports over 70 blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, and many others, making it suitable for multi-chain Web3 projects.

The platform offers several node types tailored to different use cases: Global Nodes for resilient, geo-distributed access; Unlimited Nodes with flat-fee, tiered request-per-second (RPS) plans for high-volume applications; Dedicated Nodes for customizable, high-performance deployments; and Trader Nodes optimized for low-latency, region-specific blockchain operations. Elastic Nodes support both full and archive node requests with predictable pricing based on Request Units (RUs), eliminating hidden costs and usage limits. Developers can deploy nodes instantly with minimal setup or customize advanced parameters as needed.

Chainstack’s Elastic Nodes stand out by combining global load balancing, adaptive fault tolerance that reroutes traffic within one second during node issues, and a flat-rate pricing model that simplifies cost management. The platform also integrates with additional services like managed subgraph hosting, real-time Solana data streaming via gRPC, and a marketplace for performance-boosting add-ons. Notable users include Polygon for high-throughput needs, IguVerse for gaming load balancing, and APY.vision for multi-chain DeFi analytics. Developers can get started quickly through Chainstack’s console, live demos, and extensive documentation, with community support available via Discord and Telegram.
