What changed on Bifrost (Polkadot) recently
- The Bifrost source repository linked from the collator docs (github.com/bifrost-io/bifrost, binary bifrost-v0.15.0) now returns 404; runtime releases continue in github.com/bifrost-io/bifrost-release, most recently bifrost-v0.25.4 on 21 August 2026 (low-priority upgrade, runtime 25004 for Bifrost Polkadot, Kusama and Paseo). source ↗
- Following the Hyperbridge security incident, Bifrost announced on 13 July 2026 that it is discontinuing Hyperbridge, taking an on-chain snapshot at 15 July 2026 06:00 UTC and restoring affected vDOT/vETH balances through governance, with Hyperbridge ETH variants replaced 1:1 by Snowbridge ETH. source ↗
- Bifrost's mid-2026 monthly report notes runtime 25002 changes (parachain-staking PaymentInRound reduced to 90 BNC per round) and reminds vMANTA holders on Moonbeam to bridge back before Moonbeam's shutdown, showing the runtime and ecosystem are actively changing. source ↗
- Official docs publish hardware only for collators (4 core 3.2GHz, 16GB, 200GB SSD); no RPC or archive node sizing is published. source ↗

Dedicated Bifrost (Polkadot) RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a Bifrost (Polkadot) RPC node?
A server running Bifrost (Polkadot)'s node software (bifrost) 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 Bifrost (Polkadot) RPC node?
A Bifrost (Polkadot) 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 Bifrost (Polkadot) 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 Bifrost (Polkadot) RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated Bifrost (Polkadot) 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 Bifrost (Polkadot) node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the Bifrost (Polkadot) network, and we tell you the moment it is ready. Sync time depends on the node type, 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 $129/mo for my Bifrost (Polkadot) 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 Bifrost (Polkadot) node run on?
A machine that meets Bifrost (Polkadot)'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 Bifrost (Polkadot) archive nodes?
Archive support on Bifrost (Polkadot) is confirmed against its documentation as part of your quote. Every method the client exposes is on by default at no extra charge.
Can I run a Bifrost (Polkadot) validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. Bifrost (Polkadot) has a public validator role (Collator role (parachain security comes from Polkadot): permissionless candidacy with a 5,000 BNC self-bond, capped to the top 16 candidates by bonded amount), 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 Bifrost (Polkadot) endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Bifrost (Polkadot) node speaks the same Substrate 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.
Are there rate limits or connection caps on a dedicated Bifrost (Polkadot) 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 Bifrost (Polkadot) 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 Bifrost (Polkadot) RPC URL?
The public Bifrost (Polkadot) RPC URLs are listed in Bifrost (Polkadot)'s official documentation (docs.bifrost.io). 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 Bifrost (Polkadot) RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is Bifrost (Polkadot) RPC free?
Public Bifrost (Polkadot) endpoints are free and listed in Bifrost (Polkadot)'s official documentation (docs.bifrost.io). They are shared and rate limited, which is fine for a wallet or a test. A dedicated Bifrost (Polkadot) node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best Bifrost (Polkadot) 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.
