What we shipped to Chainstack Self-Hosted in June
June was a big shipping month for Chainstack Self-Hosted. Seven new protocols landed on the deploy menu, the platform picked up a major hosting partner, and observability got the upgrade operators have been asking for. Here’s what’s new.
Seven new protocols on the deploy menu
Self-Hosted was Ethereum-only when it launched. Not anymore. Seven new networks are now deployable through the same one-click workflow: Bitcoin, TRON, Starknet, plus the entire OP Stack family — Optimism, Base, Unichain, Zora.
Every deployment ships with the same Chainstack-managed control plane: snapshots that significantly reduce initial sync time where applicable, self-healing, automated updates, monitoring through bundled Grafana and VictoriaMetrics, and failover routing to a Chainstack-managed endpoint when needed. You own the hardware, the data, and the perimeter — Chainstack handles the operational stack.
What’s deployable now
| Protocol | Network | Client | vCPU | RAM | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | Mainnet | Bitcoin Core 31 | 4 | 8 GiB | ~1 TB |
| Optimism | Mainnet | OP-Reth v2.3.1 + OP-Node v1.19.0 | 12 | 48 GiB | ~2 TB |
| Base | Mainnet | Base-Reth v1.1.0 + Base-Node v1.1.0 | 12 | 48 GiB | ~3.5 TB |
| Unichain | Mainnet | OP-Reth v2.3.1 + OP-Node v1.19.0 | 12 | 48 GiB | ~2 TB |
| Zora | Mainnet | OP-Reth v2.3.1 + OP-Node v1.19.0 | 12 | 48 GiB | ~2 TB |
| Starknet | Mainnet | Pathfinder v0.22.5 | 8 | 32 GiB | ~1 TB |
| TRON | Mainnet | Java-Tron GreatVoyage-v4.8.1.1 | 8 | 32 GiB | ~3 TB |
Base and Optimism specifically shipped as new Reth-based presets, with Base supporting both archive and full (pruned) sync modes for teams that need to trade storage footprint against history depth.
Deployment notes. OP Stack chains (Optimism, Base, Unichain, Zora) and Starknet need an Ethereum L1 RPC endpoint you supply. Optimism and Ethereum networks bootstrap from snapshots — provision ~2× the listed storage during initial deploy; Base, Unichain, and Zora sync from origin. Full per-chain configuration in the docs.
Extended observability
Two changes in June made monitoring self-hosted nodes noticeably better.
Built-in metrics scrapers. The Control Panel now exposes its own metrics and ships scrapers for the components that matter to operators — PostgreSQL, Control Panel services, Temporal, and the blockchain nodes themselves. Wiring Self-Hosted into an existing observability stack no longer means assembling per-component exporters by hand.
Protocol logs in the Control Panel. Node logs are surfaced directly in the node list and node overview pages. Diagnosing a syncing node, a container restart, or unusual behavior no longer requires dropping to kubectl.
Node configuration and tracked revisions
Every node now has a configuration tab in the Control Panel, so you can review current settings and change client and resource options (CPU, RAM, storage) in one place, then apply the change as a tracked revision. Each revision records who made it and a diff of what changed, so you always have a clear history of how a node’s configuration evolved. Live status shows progress as the change rolls out, and up-front validation catches mistakes — like shrinking storage below its current size — before they can fail mid-deployment.
The result: configuration changes are visible, attributable, and safer to make, right from the UI.
Chainstack Self-Hosted on the Vultr Marketplace
Also in June: Self-Hosted went live on the Vultr Marketplace as a one-click install. Deploy blockchain nodes in any of Vultr’s 33 regions, starting from $96/month. The Free Community tier is unchanged — you only pay Vultr for the instance you provision.
