What your Arbitrum dedicated node is built from.
Every row below is taken from Arbitrum's official documentation (docs.arbitrum.io), last reviewed against it on 22 Aug 2026, not from what is convenient to sell. Where the documentation is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | Nitro |
| Interfaces | JSON-RPC, WebSocket |
| Full node | Yes, from $349/mo (performance band) |
| Archive node | Yes, from $799/mo |
| Validator | Public validator role; quoted per setup. Validation is permissionless under BoLD (watchtower or active validator); block production is by the Arbitrum sequencer. |
| Chain ID | 42161 |
| Gas token | ETH |
| Consensus | Optimistic rollup (Nitro) with permissionless BoLD validation |
| Block time | 250ms default |
| Finality | Hard finality in 10 to 20 minutes on Ethereum; 6.4-day withdrawal challenge period |
| Official hardware guidance | Arbitrum's 'Prepare to run a node' page gives a minimum of 64 GB DDR5 RAM (128 GB or more recommended), an 8 core 3rd generation CPU such as AWS i4i.2xlarge (16+ core newer generation recommended) and locally attached NVMe SSDs 'ideally several terabytes'; Arbitrum One snapshots are about 2.3 TB (pruned HashDB), 2.4 TB (full-path PathDB) and about 3.7 TB (PathDB archive). source ↗ |
| Operator note | Official snapshots initialize nodes without a genesis sync: the Arbitrum One pruned snapshot is about 2.3TB. |
| Locations | 18 Tier-3 cities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific |
| SLA | 99.99% uptime, written, with credits |
What changed on Arbitrum recently (reviewed 22 Aug 2026)
- BoLD is active on Arbitrum One, Nova and Sepolia, replacing the allow-listed validator set with permissionless validation (activated in February 2025 via Arbitrum DAO vote; docs confirm 'active', exact date sourced only to the DAO forum/press). source ↗
- Nitro now offers PathDB (online pruning, archive with state-history index) alongside the default HashDB; full nodes keep 345,600 blocks (24 hours at 250 ms) of state history by default, archive nodes keep everything. source ↗
- Current recommended image offchainlabs/nitro-node:v3.11.3-beb2108. source ↗
What to order for your Arbitrum workload.
Each card is a configuration you can pick above, with the reason it fits.
Trading bots and MEV
Order: Full node · WebSocket on · bot/MEV tuning · city nearest Arbitrum's block producers
Burst as hard as the strategy needs. No rate limits and no noisy neighbours on the hot path; we pick the city from latency measurement, not a map.

Backfills, trace and historical queries on Arbitrum run unmetered on your own machine.
BUILT FOR INDEXERS →dApps and wallets
Order: Full node · your domain · IP allowlist · city near your users
Serve your users from your own Arbitrum endpoint with unlimited connections and a 99.99% SLA in writing.
WHY DEDICATED →Exchanges and payments
Order: Full node · IP allowlist · transaction-heavy tuning · per-node monitoring
Deposit and withdrawal scanning on Arbitrum from an endpoint only your systems can reach.
BUILT FOR EXCHANGES →Staking and validator ops
Order: Validator setup, quoted · same 24/7 watch as RPC nodes
Arbitrum has a public validator role. Tell us the stake setup and we quote the machine and the operations.

The Arbitrum RPC node endpoint provider that hands you the keys.
Your Arbitrum endpoint lives on your own domain, locked to the IPs you allowlist, served from the city you choose across 18 Tier-3 datacentre locations. The node exposes JSON-RPC, WebSocket as documented by Arbitrum. Live p50 and p99 latency for your node streams to your dashboard, and the 99.99% SLA applies in writing. New to dedicated nodes? The dedicated RPC node guide covers the model end to end.
Chain facts on this page are sourced from Arbitrum's official documentation, and you can check them yourself:
Arbitrum dedicated node: the questions buyers ask.
How long until my Arbitrum node is live?
A firm quote lands within the hour, around the clock. Go-live depends on Arbitrum's sync characteristics for your configuration; your quote includes a go-live estimate for exactly that setup rather than a number that is sometimes wrong.
What is included in the from $349/mo for my Arbitrum node?
Everything the node can do: no rate limits, every RPC method including debug and trace, 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.
Does Argusnodes run Arbitrum archive nodes and trace methods?
Yes. Arbitrum's documentation describes full-history operation; we run Arbitrum archive nodes from $799/mo with trace and historical queries unmetered. Debug and trace methods are on for full nodes too, within their state window.
Can I run a Arbitrum validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. Arbitrum has a public validator role (Validation is permissionless under BoLD (watchtower or active validator); block production is by the Arbitrum sequencer), 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 migrate my Arbitrum endpoint from QuickNode, Chainstack or another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Arbitrum node speaks the same JSON-RPC 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.
Which city should I pick for my Arbitrum node?
Any of 18 Tier-3 datacentre cities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific. Deploy near your users for an app, or ask us where Arbitrum latency is lowest for a bot; we answer from measurement. Need a city we do not list? Ask.
Are there rate limits or connection caps on a dedicated Arbitrum node?
No artificial ones. 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 Arbitrum node, and can I cancel?
Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer or crypto, billed monthly. Cancel at the end of any monthly term; the node is provisioned for you alone, so there is no meter to escape and no exit fee.
How does Argusnodes compare to QuickNode, Chainstack and other Arbitrum RPC providers?
Argusnodes is dedicated-only: a bare-metal Arbitrum node with no rate limits at one flat price from $349/mo. As of August 2026, per their own pricing pages: QuickNode sells dedicated clusters through enterprise sales without published prices, Chainstack bills dedicated nodes per hour on top of a paid plan, and Zeeve applies monthly request allowances on dedicated plans below its Enterprise tier. The comparison table on this page links every source.
