Dedicated Axelar RPC node. A private Axelar RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
Axelar is a proof-of-stake Cosmos SDK blockchain (binary axelard) that provides secure cross-chain communication, including token transfers, smart contract calls and general message passing between chains, secured by a permissionless validator set.

| Official hardware guidance | Node configuration page: 'Hardware: 4 cores, 8-16GB RAM, 512 GB drive, arm64 or amd64. Recommended 6-8 cores, 16-32 GB RAM, 1 TB+ drive' for a (non-validator) node; validators: 'Minimum: 16 cores, 16GB RAM, 1.5 TB drive. Recommended: 32 cores, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB+ drive'. 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 Axelar recently
- The v1.3 mainnet upgrade (axelar-core v1.3.2, released 2025-12-03, proposal 421, height 21163285) migrated Axelar to Cosmos SDK v0.50, cut block time from 5s to 1s, requires Go 1.25 and libwasmvm v2.2.4 (or the static binary), and needs app.toml iavl-cache-size = 0 / iavl-disable-fastnode = true plus timeout_commit = 1s; archival nodes needed about 12.5 hours to migrate. source ↗
- The v1.4 mainnet upgrade (axelar-core v1.4.7, proposal 480, height 30135800, ~14:00 UTC 2026-06-16) removed the legacy link-deposit token-transfer paths, routes legacy EVM governance via Amplifier GMP, and bumps to CometBFT v0.38.23, wasmd v0.54.7, libwasmvm v2.2.6, Cosmos SDK v0.50.15 and ibc-go v8.8.0. source ↗
- Axelar does not support state sync; new nodes must restore from a snapshot (pruned snapshots exceed 100GB), and since v1.1.3 the prebuilt axelard binaries require GLIBC_2.34 (Ubuntu 22.04+). source ↗

Dedicated Axelar RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a Axelar RPC node?
A server running Axelar's node software (axelard) 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 Axelar RPC node?
A Axelar 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 Axelar 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 Axelar RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated Axelar 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 Axelar node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the Axelar 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 $239/mo for my Axelar 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 gRPC and RPC 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 Axelar node run on?
A machine that meets Axelar'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 Axelar archive nodes?
Yes. Axelar's documentation describes full-history operation; we run Axelar archive nodes, quoted per setup, with historical queries unmetered.
Can I run a Axelar validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. Axelar 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 Axelar endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Axelar node speaks the same CometBFT RPC and gRPC and REST 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 Axelar 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 Axelar 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 Axelar RPC URL?
The public Axelar RPC URLs are listed in Axelar's official documentation (docs.axelar.dev). 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 Axelar RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is Axelar RPC free?
Public Axelar endpoints are free and listed in Axelar's official documentation (docs.axelar.dev). They are shared and rate limited, which is fine for a wallet or a test. A dedicated Axelar node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best Axelar 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.
