Dedicated Akash Network RPC node. A private Akash Network RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
Akash Network is a Cosmos SDK blockchain with CometBFT consensus that runs a decentralized cloud computing marketplace matching tenants who deploy workloads with providers who offer compute, with full nodes serving RPC/API queries and validators producing blocks.

Akash Network node requirements, and what we build.
Chain facts from Akash Network's official documentation (akash.network). Where it is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | akash |
| Interfaces | CometBFT RPC, REST, gRPC, WebSocket |
| Full node | Yes, from $319/mo |
| Archive node | Yes, quoted per setup |
| Validator | Public validator role; quoted per setup |
| Gas token | AKT |
| Official hardware guidance | Full node (RPC/API endpoints): CPU 4-8 cores, 16-32 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD (1 TB+ recommended); validator: 8+ cores (16 recommended), 128 GB RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD (the CLI build guide separately lists a 4 CPU core / 8 GB RAM minimum). source ↗ |
| Argusnodes build | Meets the official guidance above with headroom on top, never at the minimum. Ask and we tell you the exact CPU, RAM and NVMe; root access on request. |
What changed on Akash Network recently
- Mainnet 14 (akash v1.0.0, released 2025-10-26) moved the chain from Cosmos SDK v0.45 to v0.53 with IAVL storage optimisations, JWT authentication and new escrow/lease fields; it is the base every later upgrade assumes. source ↗
- The BME (burn-mint equilibrium) upgrade, akash v2.0.0, went live on 2026-03-23 under Proposal 318, introducing the ACT settlement token, x/bme, x/oracle and CosmWasm-hosted Wormhole/Pyth price contracts. source ↗
- Mainnet 18 (akash v2.1.0, Proposal 328) was scheduled for block 27,230,465 around 2026-06-11 and ships Oracle v2 (full oracle state wipe and re-init) plus AEP-82 resource reclamation; the latest release is v2.1.1 (2026-07-24) with v3.0.0 alphas in progress. source ↗
- Official full-node guidance (16-32 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD with 1 TB+ recommended, ~15 GB compressed snapshot) sits above a typical light Cosmos node, and the validator spec is 128 GB RAM / 1 TB NVMe. source ↗

Dedicated Akash Network RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a Akash Network RPC node?
A server running Akash Network's node software (akash) that answers RPC requests: reading balances and state, and sending transactions. It can be public and free, shared by a provider's customers, or dedicated to one client.
What is a dedicated Akash Network RPC node?
A Akash Network node on a bare-metal server that runs for one client only, with its own private RPC endpoint. Nobody else's traffic shares the machine, so there is no rate limit and no noisy neighbour, and every method the client exposes is on. Argusnodes builds, syncs, monitors and upgrades it for you at one fixed monthly price.
Is my Akash Network node managed and monitored, and what does that cost?
Yes, and so is monitoring, both at no additional cost. We set up and sync the node, watch it 24/7 with live node and server metrics in your dashboard, apply every network upgrade and client update, and fix it when something breaks. If you need help around the node, such as connecting it to your app, moving off another provider or setting up an indexer, our engineers help with that too, at the same monthly price.
What is a private Akash Network RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated Akash Network node that is yours alone, on your own domain if you want one, and answers only the IP addresses you allowlist. No other customer's traffic shares the machine, so nobody else's burst becomes your latency, and there is no rate limit to hit.
How long until my Akash Network node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the Akash Network network, and we tell you the moment it is ready. Sync time depends on the node type (an archive node replays the full history, so it takes longest), so your quote carries an estimate for your exact setup rather than a number that is sometimes wrong. The quote itself lands within the hour, around the clock.
What is included in the from $319/mo for my Akash Network node?
Everything the node can do, with the premium add-ons other providers bill separately included free: unlimited RPS, every RPC method including heavy queries, unlimited WebSocket connections, your own domain with an IP allowlist, 18 cities to choose from, a 99.99% SLA with credits, 24/7 engineer support and live p50/p99 in your dashboard. There is no add-on price list because nothing is an add-on.
What hardware will my Akash Network node run on?
A machine that meets Akash Network's official hardware guidance (quoted in the spec sheet on this page) with headroom on top, on a dedicated bare-metal server. We never build at the minimum, because a node sized to the minimum becomes the bottleneck the day the chain grows. Ask before you order and we tell you the exact CPU, RAM and NVMe; the delivery email names the server, and root access is yours if you want it.
Does Argusnodes run Akash Network archive nodes?
Yes. Akash Network's documentation describes full-history operation; we run Akash Network archive nodes, quoted per setup, with historical queries unmetered.
Can I run a Akash Network validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. Akash Network has a public validator role, and we operate validators under the same monitoring and support as RPC nodes, quoted per setup. Pick "Validator" in the configurator and describe the stake setup.
Can I move my Akash Network endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Akash Network node speaks the same CometBFT RPC and REST and gRPC and WebSocket interfaces as the shared endpoint you use today, so migration is pointing your application at your own endpoint. Billing is monthly with no lock-in on our side, and support engineers are on the channels 24/7 during cutover.
Are there rate limits or connection caps on a dedicated Akash Network node?
No artificial ones: unlimited RPS and no connection cap. The machine is yours alone, so the hardware is the only ceiling: if it can serve the request, you can send it. There is no per-plan connection cap because there is no plan tier.
How do I pay for my Akash Network node, and can I cancel?
In crypto, with no KYC and no setup fee. Pay monthly, or save 5% quarterly and 10% annually, and your price is locked for as long as your node runs. Cancel at the end of any term; the node is provisioned for you alone, so there is no meter to escape and no exit fee.
What is the Akash Network RPC URL?
The public Akash Network RPC URLs are listed in Akash Network's official documentation (akash.network). They are shared, rate limited and run by third parties, so they are fine for a wallet and not for an application. A dedicated node gives you a private Akash Network RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is Akash Network RPC free?
Public Akash Network endpoints are free and listed in Akash Network's official documentation (akash.network). They are shared and rate limited, which is fine for a wallet or a test. A dedicated Akash Network node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best Akash Network RPC provider?
It depends on the workload. Check four things: whether the node is single-tenant or shared, whether there are rate limits or credits, whether archive, trace and debug are included, and who answers when it breaks. For a wallet, a free public endpoint is enough. For an app, bot or indexer, a dedicated node with no rate limits avoids the throttling of shared plans.
