Dedicated Dash RPC node. A private Dash RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
Dash is a payments-focused cryptocurrency with InstantSend and optional CoinJoin privacy, built on a two-tier network of proof-of-work miners and collateralised masternodes.

Dash node requirements, and what we build.
Chain facts from Dash's official documentation (docs.dash.org). Where it is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | Dash Core |
| Interfaces | JSON-RPC, REST, ZMQ |
| Full node | Yes, from $99/mo |
| Archive node | Yes, from $99/mo |
| Validator | A proof-of-work chain secured by miners; masternodes provide second-tier services but do not produce blocks. |
| Gas token | DASH |
| Official hardware guidance | Regular masternode (a Dash Core full node plus masternode services): minimum CPU 2x 2 GHz, RAM 4 GB + 2 GB swap, disk 60 GB, network 750 GB/mth; recommended 3x 2 GHz, 8 GB + 4 GB swap, 80 GB, 1 TB/mth; evonode (Core + Platform) recommended 4x 2.4 GHz, 8 GB + 2 GB swap, 200 GB, 1 TB/mth. 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 Dash recently
- Dash Core 23.0.0 (Nov 10, 2025) is mandatory for masternodes and evonodes (protocol 70238, min peer 70221), migrates EvoDB to a new format (downgrade needs full reindex), rebuilds the block-filter index, and removes legacy RPCs such as instantsendtoaddress and masternode current/winner. source ↗
- Dash Core 23.1.0 (Feb 14, 2026) is the first 23.x minor release and is mandatory for all masternodes, without breaking changes. source ↗
- Dash Core 23.1.8 (Aug 3, 2026) is the latest release in an active 23.1.x maintenance line (23.1.2 Mar 15, 23.1.3 May 28, 23.1.4 Jun 18, 23.1.7 Jul 1, 2026). source ↗

Dedicated Dash RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a Dash RPC node?
A server running Dash's node software (Dash Core) 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 Dash RPC node?
A Dash 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 Dash 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 Dash RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated Dash 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 Dash node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the Dash 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 $99/mo for my Dash 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 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 Dash node run on?
A machine that meets Dash'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 Dash archive nodes?
Yes. Dash's documentation describes full-history operation; we run Dash archive nodes, from $99/mo, with historical queries unmetered.
Can I run a Dash validator with Argusnodes?
A proof-of-work chain secured by miners; masternodes provide second-tier services but do not produce blocks. We run every node type the chain actually offers and none it does not.
Can I move my Dash endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Dash node speaks the same JSON-RPC and REST and ZMQ 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 Dash 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 Dash 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 Dash RPC URL?
The public Dash RPC URLs are listed in Dash's official documentation (docs.dash.org). 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 Dash RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is Dash RPC free?
Public Dash endpoints are free and listed in Dash's official documentation (docs.dash.org). They are shared and rate limited, which is fine for a wallet or a test. A dedicated Dash node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best Dash 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.
