What is a dedicated node?

A dedicated node is a node that exclusively deployed for and belongs to a particular customer, with its compute resources are not being shared with anybody else. Such nodes are highly customizable and can offer more additional services than other node types. This means that each dedicated node can be configured to perfectly match the case and needs of a particular customer.

​
Dedicated node plans

Subscription level — a Pro, Business, or Enterprise subscription is required.See Pricing.

​
Debug and trace API

Regardless of mode, all dedicated nodes will have debug and trace API enabled for protocols which support this feature. See the full list of protocols with debug and trace API.

TON dedicated nodes: ADNL protocol support

TON dedicated nodes support the ADNL protocol in addition to the standard HTTP API. ADNL (Abstract Datagram Network Layer) provides secure, low-level network communication for advanced TON blockchain interactions and specialized use cases.

​
Billing model across node types

Dedicated nodes are billed differently from the per-request node types — knowing which model fits your workload is the main reason to pick one over the other.

If you run sustained high-throughput workloads (heavy eth_subscribe, deep eth_getLogs sweeps, debug/trace pipelines), a dedicated node — or any node with the Unlimited add-on — typically lands cheaper than per-request billing at the same throughput.

​
Deploy a dedicated node

You can deploy a dedicated node directly from the Chainstack console.
  1. Log in to the Chainstack console.
  2. Open the project where you want the node, or create a new one.
  3. Click Get Started (new project) or Join Network (existing project).
  4. Choose the protocol and network, then click Next.
  5. Select Dedicated as the node type.
  6. Pick the node mode: Full or Archive.
  7. Choose the cloud provider.
  8. Give the node a name and click Next.
  9. Review the configuration and monthly cost.
  10. Click Deploy.
You’ll receive an email notification when the node is provisioned and ready. For specialized configurations or anything not exposed in the UI, use the contact us form.
