Dedicated VeChain RPC node. A private VeChain RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
VeChainThor is an EVM-compatible blockchain that moved from Proof of Authority to Delegated Proof of Stake with the Hayabusa hardfork, using a dual-token model: VET for value transfer and VTHO as the gas token.

VeChain node requirements, and what we build.
Chain facts from VeChain's official documentation (docs.vechain.org). Where it is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | Thor (VeChainThor client) |

| Official hardware guidance | Thor README hardware requirements: Validator 4 Core CPU, 16 GB RAM, 20 Mbit bandwidth, 500 GB NVMe SSD; Public Full Node 8 Core, 64 GB RAM, 20 Mbit, 1 TB SSD; minimum of 45,000 IOPS for an approximate 30 hour sync. 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 VeChain recently
- Thor v2.3.0 (May 14, 2025) activated the Galactica hardfork (mainnet block 22,084,200, ~Jul 1, 2025) with a dynamic fee market, typed transactions and Shanghai EVM alignment; nodes upgrading from before 2.2.0 need a full resync. source ↗
- Thor v2.4.0 (Oct 28, 2025) is a mandatory upgrade activating the Hayabusa hardfork (mainnet block 23,414,400, ~Dec 2, 2025), moving consensus from PoA to Delegated Proof of Stake with a Staker contract, dynamic VTHO tokenomics and stake-weighted finality. source ↗

Public VeChain RPC URLs, checked every week.
Free, shared VeChain endpoints from the chain registry that answered eth_chainId with 100009 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 VeChain RPC endpoint.

Dedicated VeChain RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a VeChain RPC node?
A server running VeChain's node software (Thor (VeChainThor client)) 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 VeChain RPC node?
A VeChain 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 VeChain 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 VeChain RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated VeChain 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 VeChain node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the VeChain 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 $319/mo for my VeChain 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 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 VeChain node run on?
A machine that meets VeChain'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 VeChain archive nodes and trace methods?
Yes. VeChain's documentation describes full-history operation; we run VeChain archive nodes, quoted per setup, with trace and historical queries unmetered. Debug and trace methods are on for full nodes too, within their state window.
Can I run a VeChain validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. VeChain has a public validator role (Permissionless since the Hayabusa hardfork (Dec 2025) but capped: stake a minimum of 25M VET to queue for one of 101 active validator slots), 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 VeChain endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated VeChain node speaks the same REST (Thorest) and JSON-RPC (via official RPC proxy) 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 VeChain 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 VeChain 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 VeChain chain ID?
100009 (hex 0x186a9), per VeChain's official documentation. A dedicated VeChain node answers eth_chainId with it, so wallets and libraries configured for VeChain work against your endpoint unchanged.
What is the VeChain RPC URL?
Public VeChain RPC URLs from the chain registry that answered our weekly check on chain ID 100009: https://rpc-mainnet.vechain.energy. VeChain's official documentation (docs.vechain.org) 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 VeChain RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is VeChain RPC free?
Yes, public VeChain 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 VeChain node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best VeChain 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 VeChain to MetaMask with my own RPC URL?
Add a network manually with the chain ID 100009, the currency symbol VET · VTHO and your private VeChain 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.
