Dedicated Flow RPC node. A private Flow RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
Flow is a consumer-focused layer-1 with a multi-role node architecture and EVM equivalence for Solidity apps.

What changed on Flow recently
- Mainnet 27 (Forte) network upgrade/spork on October 22, 2025 moved nodes to flow-go v0.43.3 and migrated storage from BadgerDB to PebbleDB, after which node hardware specifications were revised downward. source ↗
- Mainnet 28 spork on December 28, 2025 (flow-go v0.44.3, root height 137390146) requires node operators to re-bootstrap from the new root. source ↗
- flow-go ships frequent Height Coordinated Upgrades in 2026 (v0.45.0 Jan 29, v0.47.0 Feb 24, v0.48.0 Apr 7, v0.49.0 May 18, v0.50.0 Jul 2, v0.51.0 Aug 18, 2026), each requiring operators to upgrade at a set block height. source ↗

Public Flow RPC URLs, checked every week.
Free, shared Flow endpoints from the chain registry that answered eth_chainId with 747 in our weekly check (1 of 1). Good for a wallet or a test; once an app, bot or indexer depends on it, move to a dedicated Flow RPC endpoint.

Dedicated Flow RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a Flow RPC node?
A server running Flow's node software (flow-go, flow-evm-gateway) 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 Flow RPC node?
A Flow 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 Flow 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 Flow RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated Flow 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 Flow node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the Flow network, and we tell you the moment it is ready. Sync time depends on the node type and the client you pick (flow-go, flow-evm-gateway), 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 $149/mo for my Flow node?
Everything the node can do, with the premium add-ons other providers bill separately included free: unlimited RPS, 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.
What hardware will my Flow node run on?
A machine that meets Flow'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.
Which Flow client should I choose?
flow-go: Reference implementation for every Flow node role; for RPC service run it as a permissionless access node (100 FLOW stake, gRPC/REST Access API) or an unstaked observer node. flow-evm-gateway: Unstaked gateway that implements the Ethereum JSON-RPC spec (plus WebSocket) on top of an access node, giving a dedicated private Flow EVM RPC endpoint.
Does Argusnodes run Flow archive nodes and trace methods?
Archive support on Flow 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 Flow validator with Argusnodes?
Staked node roles require sufficient stake and authorization by the governance working group. We run every node type the chain actually offers and none it does not.
Can I move my Flow endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Flow node speaks the same gRPC and REST and WebSocket and JSON-RPC (EVM) 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 Flow 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 Flow 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 Flow chain ID?
747 (hex 0x2eb), per Flow's official documentation. A dedicated Flow node answers eth_chainId with it, so wallets and libraries configured for Flow work against your endpoint unchanged.
What is the Flow RPC URL?
Public Flow RPC URLs from the chain registry that answered our weekly check on chain ID 747: https://mainnet.evm.nodes.onflow.org. Flow's official documentation (developers.flow.com) is the reference for its own endpoints. 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 Flow RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is Flow RPC free?
Yes, public Flow RPC endpoints are free: the ones that passed our weekly check are listed on this page. They are shared and rate limited, which is fine for a wallet or a test. A dedicated Flow node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best Flow 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. Our comparison pages (argusnodes.com/vs) set us against other providers, with sources.
How do I add Flow to MetaMask with my own RPC URL?
Add a network manually with the chain ID 747, the currency symbol FLOW and your private Flow RPC URL in place of the public one. The steps are the same as for a public URL; the difference is that the endpoint is yours alone, so the wallet never hits someone else's rate limit.
