| Official hardware guidance | Running a PulseChain node: a fast CPU with 4+ cores, 16 GB+ RAM, 1.5 TB+ free SSD for a Full Node or 7 TB+ free SSD for an Archive Node (the Docker Compose quick-start asks for roughly 4+ cores, 16 GB+ RAM and 2 TB+ free SSD). 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 PulseChain recently
- Go-Pulse v3.3.0 (30 September 2025) rebased the execution client onto go-ethereum v1.16.3: path-based storage is now the default (re-sync needed to benefit), the new filtermaps log index can add up to ~61GB, and several RPC behaviours changed (eth_getLogs limits, eth_call revert error code 3, hex-encoded debug_traceCall output). source ↗
- PulseChain remains on the Shanghai + Capella fork; go-pulse v3.3.0 includes client-side Pectra/Fusaka code only for Ethereum compatibility, so no PulseChain hard fork was activated. source ↗
- Lighthouse-Pulse v2.5.1 (31 March 2026) is a security patch for libp2p yamux CVEs; all Lighthouse-Pulse node operators are advised to update. source ↗
- The official Docker Compose quick-start now pins go-pulse plus prysm-pulse and asks for 2 TB+ free SSD, while the long-form guide still quotes 1.5 TB+ (full) and 7 TB+ (archive); erigon-pulse and prysm-pulse have had no releases since early 2024. source ↗

Public PulseChain RPC URLs, checked every week.
Free, shared PulseChain endpoints from the chain registry that answered eth_chainId with 369 in our weekly check (3 of 3). Good for a wallet or a test; once an app, bot or indexer depends on it, move to a dedicated PulseChain RPC endpoint.

Dedicated PulseChain RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a PulseChain RPC node?
A server running PulseChain's node software (go-pulse, erigon-pulse, prysm-pulse) 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 PulseChain RPC node?
A PulseChain 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 PulseChain 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 PulseChain RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated PulseChain 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 PulseChain node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the PulseChain 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) and the client you pick (go-pulse, erigon-pulse, prysm-pulse, lighthouse-pulse), 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 $169/mo for my PulseChain 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 PulseChain node run on?
A machine that meets PulseChain'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 PulseChain client should I choose?
go-pulse: Go-Pulse is the recommended execution client (Go-Ethereum fork) and the one used in the official Docker Compose setup; v3.3.0 rebased onto geth v1.16.3 with path-based storage by default. erigon-pulse: Erigon-Pulse is the alternative execution client (Erigon fork) for operators who prefer Erigon's storage model; its latest release is v2.4.0 from February 2024. prysm-pulse: Prysm-Pulse is the recommended consensus client (Prysm fork) and the one pinned in the official Docker Compose; latest release v2.3.0 (April 2024). lighthouse-pulse: Lighthouse-Pulse is the alternative consensus client (Lighthouse fork); v2.5.1 (March 2026) carries libp2p security fixes that all Lighthouse-Pulse operators are advised to apply.
Does Argusnodes run PulseChain archive nodes and trace methods?
Yes. PulseChain's documentation describes full-history operation; we run PulseChain archive nodes, from $699/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 PulseChain validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. PulseChain 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 PulseChain endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated PulseChain 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.
Are there rate limits or connection caps on a dedicated PulseChain 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 PulseChain 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 PulseChain chain ID?
369 (hex 0x171), per PulseChain's official documentation. A dedicated PulseChain node answers eth_chainId with it, so wallets and libraries configured for PulseChain work against your endpoint unchanged.
What is the PulseChain RPC URL?
Public PulseChain RPC URLs from the chain registry that answered our weekly check on chain ID 369: https://rpc.pulsechain.com, https://pulsechain-rpc.publicnode.com, https://rpc-pulsechain.g4mm4.io. PulseChain's official documentation (gitlab.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 PulseChain RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is PulseChain RPC free?
Yes, public PulseChain 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 PulseChain node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best PulseChain 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 PulseChain to MetaMask with my own RPC URL?
Add a network manually with the chain ID 369, the currency symbol PLS and your private PulseChain 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.
