Dedicated Tezos RPC node. A private Tezos RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
Tezos is a decentralized blockchain maintained by a peer-to-peer network of nodes running the Octez suite.

Tezos node requirements, and what we build.
Chain facts from Tezos's official documentation (docs.tezos.com). Where it is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | octez-node, octez-baker |
| Interfaces | RPC (REST-style JSON over HTTP) |
| Full node | Yes, from $99/mo |
| Archive node | Yes, quoted per setup |
| Validator | Public validator role; quoted per setup |
| Gas token | XTZ |
| Official hardware guidance | Minimal configuration for an Octez node (rolling history mode): 3 CPU cores, 8GB of RAM + 8GB of swap (or 16GB of RAM), 100GB SSD storage and a low-latency reliable internet connection; full and archive modes require extra storage. 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 Tezos recently
- Octez v23.0 (21 Aug 2025) introduced protocol-independent octez-baker and octez-accuser binaries; v24 (9 Jan 2026) deprecated the protocol-suffixed ones and dropped RPM packages, and v25 removed them. source ↗
- The Tallinn protocol activated on mainnet on 24 Jan 2026 (block 11,640,289), cutting block time from 8 to 6 seconds. source ↗
- Octez v25.0 (16 Jun 2026) supports Ushuaia (activated 30 Jun 2026), rejects baker configs still containing adaptive_issuance_vote, moves Ubuntu APT paths from codenames to version numbers, and deprecates the Ubuntu/Debian packages in favour of octez-manager (removal planned for v26). source ↗
- Octez v25 changed the DAL node default RPC binding to 127.0.0.1:10732 and made DAL 'config init' fail if a config already exists. source ↗

Dedicated Tezos RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a Tezos RPC node?
A server running Tezos's node software (octez-node, octez-baker) 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 Tezos RPC node?
A Tezos 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 Tezos 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 Tezos RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated Tezos 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 Tezos node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the Tezos 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 (octez-node, octez-baker), 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 Tezos 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 Tezos node run on?
A machine that meets Tezos'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 Tezos client should I choose?
octez-node: The Tezos node itself; what an RPC/full/archive service runs, with history mode chosen at init (rolling, full or archive). octez-baker: Protocol-independent baking daemon (since v23) used only by bakers alongside a node and, for attestations, a DAL node.
Does Argusnodes run Tezos archive nodes?
Yes. Tezos's documentation describes full-history operation; we run Tezos archive nodes, quoted per setup, with historical queries unmetered.
Can I run a Tezos validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. Tezos 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 Tezos endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Tezos node speaks the same RPC (REST-style JSON over HTTP) interface 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 Tezos 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 Tezos 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 Tezos RPC URL?
The public Tezos RPC URLs are listed in Tezos's official documentation (docs.tezos.com). 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 Tezos RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is Tezos RPC free?
Public Tezos endpoints are free and listed in Tezos's official documentation (docs.tezos.com). They are shared and rate limited, which is fine for a wallet or a test. A dedicated Tezos node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best Tezos 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.
