Build better with Ethereum nodes

Global Nodes

Chainstack makes sure you get access to robust and scalable infrastructure, ready for your Ethereum journey, in a matter of minutes.

We take away the burden of managing it so that you can instantly focus on building and exploring data on Ethereum RPC and API.

Create Ethereum node

Dedicated Nodes

With Chainstack’s patented Bolt technology you get fully synced dedicated Ethereum RPC nodes in almost no time at all.

Chainstack spins up dedicated Ethereum RPC nodes with the latest state—so you get a node ready the same day.

Get started

Reliable Ethereum mainnet and testnet infrastructure

Building with Chainstack means you don’t have to think about your node and its connection to the network. We ensure uptime and handle maintenance so you can focus on building.

Connect to Ethereum Mainnet or Goerli, Sepolia, and Holesky Testnets through an interface designed to help you get the job done.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ethereum?

Ethereum is a generalized, Turing-complete blockchain that introduced smart contracts and the EVM in 2015. Today it anchors a vast ecosystem of DeFi, NFTs, rollups, and enterprise applications.

How to get Ethereum RPC endpoint?

Create a free account at Chainstack and log in to the console. Click Add node, pick Ethereum (mainnet or testnet), and deploy a dedicated node in seconds. When the node shows as running, go to Access & credentials to copy your HTTPS and WebSocket RPC endpoints.

How to run an Ethereum node?

Spin up a Chainstack Global Node and you’ll be syncing Ethereum in minutes with zero hardware fuss. Need exclusive resources or archive data? Provision a Dedicated Node instead. The only other route is a self-hosted setup that means buying terabytes of SSDs, compiling Geth, and baby-sitting re-syncs whenever a fork hits.

What is Ethereum RPC API?

The Ethereum RPC API follows the JSON-RPC 2.0 spec and exposes methods such as eth_call, eth_sendRawTransaction, and eth_getLogs. It lets wallets, dApps, and infra providers query state, push transactions, and stream events over HTTP or WebSocket. Because Ethereum is the reference EVM, most other EVM chains adopt the same surface.

How much does it cost to run a Ethereum RPC?

The bill depends entirely on your use case—archive vs. full node, read-only vs. heavy writes, uptime SLAs, and so on. A self-hosted archive node in a mainstream cloud can hit US $300-600 / month once you add fast NVMe, snapshots, and bandwidth. The most cost-effective path is to call an RPC provider such as Chainstack, which lets you start free and pay only for the traffic you actually use.

Is Ethereum RPC free?

Community-hosted Ethereum RPC gateways are free, but they’re notorious for rate-limits and surprise outages. Chainstack’s free tier gives you a rock-solid endpoint with 3 million requests a month, so you stay online without paying a cent.

How to setup a Ethereum RPC?

In the Chainstack Console create or open your Ethereum node and copy its HTTPS endpoint. Paste that URL into MetaMask’s “Custom network” field—or swap your web3-provider URL in code—and you’re instantly on Ethereum.

Notes for Ethereum API

When communicating with a Ethereum RPC node, the Ethereum client implements a JSON-RPC specification, a communication protocol allowing one to make remote calls and execute them as if they were made locally.

The Ethereum API allows developers to communicate with the Ethereum blockchain to build applications. The best way to use the Ethereum API is to use a web3 library such as ethers.js if using JavaScript or web3.py using Python.
