Your keys, your coins — your node
A wallet without your own node still trusts someone else's server. Running a full node gives you sovereign transaction verification, private broadcasting and a vote for the network's health — but it needs disk that grows every month, bandwidth that never stops and an IP address that isn't your home. That is exactly the hardware we rent, with nobody's name on it. Pick your chain below: real 2026 requirements, matched servers and a copy-paste setup path for each.
Pick your node type
Every chain in our payment catalog, plus the Lightning Network. Each page has realistic hardware sizing, per-jurisdiction pricing and a hardened setup guide.
Bitcoin Node Hosting
≈ 760 GBFull node, pruned node or Electrum backend — sized for the 760 GB chain with years of headroom.
Lightning Node Hosting
BTC backend ≈ 760 GBLND or Core Lightning over your own bitcoind — uptime-critical hosting for routing nodes.
Ethereum Node Hosting
≈ 1.4 TB (EL + CL)Geth/Nethermind + Lighthouse on bare-metal NVMe — full node, personal RPC or validator backend.
Monero Node Hosting
≈ 270 GBmonerod, full or pruned, on NVMe — your wallets stop trusting strangers' remote nodes.
Solana Validator & RPC Hosting
ledger 1–2 TB (rolling)Validator & RPC bare metal — EPYC cores, 256 GB ECC, ledger and accounts on separate NVMe.
Litecoin Node Hosting
≈ 230 GBThe lightest full node here: 230 GB, same-day sync, MWEB-ready — the ideal first node.
TRON Node Hosting
Lite ≈ 1.3 TB · Full ≈ 2.6 TBjava-tron on bare metal — first-party TRC-20 USDT verification for crypto-native businesses.
Node requirements & matched plans, side by side
Approximate mainnet figures as of mid-2026. Chain sizes keep growing — every recommended plan leaves at least 40% disk headroom.
Why run your node offshore, without KYC
VPS or dedicated server for a blockchain node?
A VPS is enough for the light chains: a pruned Bitcoin node, Monero, Litecoin, or a Lightning node over a pruned backend all run comfortably on 4–16 GB of RAM and a few hundred GB of NVMe. Our VPS plans go up to 16 vCPU / 64 GB / 1 TB, which covers every chain except the heavyweights.
Ethereum, Solana, TRON and any archival workload want bare metal: dedicated NVMe with real IOPS, ECC memory, and no noisy neighbours during initial sync. Our dedicated servers start at $48.50/mo with 2× 1 TB NVMe and scale to dual EPYC, 256 GB ECC and 16 TB of NVMe — enough for an Ethereum archive node or a Solana validator at the official minimum spec.
Node privacy: Tor, remote RPC and quiet operation
Every chain page includes the flags to run your node over Tor — bitcoind's proxy mode, monerod's tx-proxy, LND's tor.active. Combined with an offshore IP and a no-logs host, the node tells the world very little about you.
Want to use the node from your laptop or phone wallet? Bind RPC to localhost, tunnel over SSH or WireGuard, and your wallet gets sovereign verification without ever touching a public RPC. Our first-hour hardening checklist walks through the firewall side.
