Dedicated WAX RPC node. A private WAX RPC endpoint that only you use: no rate limits, every method on, one fixed monthly price.
WAX is an Antelope-based delegated proof-of-stake blockchain built for games, NFTs and dApps, with block producers elected by WAXP stakers.

WAX node requirements, and what we build.
Chain facts from WAX's official documentation (docs.wax.io). Where it is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | nodeos (WAX Spring Community Edition) |
| Interfaces | Chain API (HTTP), State History (WebSocket), Hyperion |
| Full node | Yes, from $509/mo |
| Archive node | Yes, quoted per setup |
| Validator | Public validator role; quoted per setup |
| Gas token | WAXP |
| Official hardware guidance | Mainnet API/peer node: '4 Core CPU / 4Ghz+ recommended if you would like to produce blocks', '128GB+' RAM, '384GB+ Disk / Enterprise Grade SSD or NVMe' for OS/state plus '6TB+ Disk' for blocks, '100Mb/s synchronous and above'; a State History (SHIP) node additionally needs two 20TB+ drives (about 3.8T blocks and 9.5T state-history used as of March 2024). 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 WAX recently
- The official WAX node repo (worldwide-asset-exchange/wax-blockchain) is now a port of Antelope Spring Community Edition: release ce-v1.0.3wax01 ('WAX Spring Community Edition release 1.3.0wax01', deb package wax-spring-ce_1.3.0wax01_amd64.deb) shipped 2025-11-25, replacing the Leap 5.0.x line. source ↗
- The docs.wax.io mainnet-node and SHIP guides still reference Leap v5.0.1wax01 (March 2024) as the accepted build, so the docs lag the repo; operators should confirm the current guild-accepted version. source ↗
- Upstream Antelope Spring continued releasing in 2025 (v1.2.2 on 2025-08-19, v2.0.0-dev pre-releases), so Leap-based configs should be checked against Spring plugin and config changes. source ↗

Dedicated WAX RPC node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a WAX RPC node?
A server running WAX's node software (nodeos (WAX Spring Community Edition)) 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 WAX RPC node?
A WAX 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 WAX 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 WAX RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated WAX 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 WAX node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the WAX 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 $509/mo for my WAX 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 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 WAX node run on?
A machine that meets WAX'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 WAX archive nodes?
Yes. WAX's documentation describes full-history operation; we run WAX archive nodes, quoted per setup, with historical queries unmetered.
Can I run a WAX validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. WAX 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 WAX endpoint from another provider?
Yes. A dedicated WAX node speaks the same Chain API (HTTP) and State History (WebSocket) and Hyperion 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 WAX 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 WAX 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 WAX RPC URL?
The public WAX RPC URLs are listed in WAX's official documentation (docs.wax.io). 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 WAX RPC URL of your own, on your domain if you want, that nobody else uses.
Is WAX RPC free?
Public WAX endpoints are free and listed in WAX's official documentation (docs.wax.io). They are shared and rate limited, which is fine for a wallet or a test. A dedicated WAX node is the paid option for an app, bot or indexer, at one fixed monthly price.
What is the best WAX 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.
