Chainstack supports 2 types of nodes for public chains: elastic node and dedicated node. Elastic nodes are available for all networks by default. To get a dedicated node, you'll have to contact us directly.

For most of the available public chains, Chainstack supports deploying nodes in the following modes:

  • Full — a node that stores full blockchain data. However, it has limitations to how many blocks are available for querying.
  • Archive — a node that stores full blockchain data and an archive of historical states, which makes it possible to query any block since the chain genesis.
  • Trader — a node that propagates transactions to the global mempool at high speed. See Trader nodes.

The following modes are available for on-platform public chains:

FantomAs Go Opera, the Fantom client, does not have automatic state pruning implemented, there is currently no difference between a full node and an archive node.

HarmonyLatest 128 blocks
TezosWith a full node, you can query any block information or operation but you cannot query the balances, staking rights or block metadata before the current checkpoint.

With an archive node, you can query the entire history at any point, including balances, staking rights, block metadata.

See also Tezos docs: History modes.

To query your node's current checkpoint data:

curl 'NODE_ENDPOINT/chains/main/checkpoint'

Advanced options on paid plans

Dedicated nodes, archive nodes, debug & trace APIs are available starting from the Growth plan.

What is the difference between full node and archive in Geth? ›

A default full node keeps the most recent 128 block's state data while an archive node keeps all historical state data.

Does archive still take up storage? ›

Remember that Archive is an action, not a location. So, yes, Archived messages are still in the account, and still use space. And if you delete everything in Archive (All Mail), your account will be empty.

What is a full archive node? ›

An archive node is a full node that additionally maintains storage of historical blockchain states. While a full node can calculate a historical state, an archive node readily has the information in local storage and has better performance for these types of requests.

What to do when archive is full? ›

To make room in your archive mailbox, delete any items you don't need, including Junk Mail or older messages, and empty your Deleted Items folder. Once you have deleted an email, it moves to a Recoverable items store. To permanently erase all of your Deleted Items you need to also purge all of your Recoverable items.

What is the difference between storage and archiving? ›

While an archive is also a copy of your data, the archiving process relocates the data from your business's primary storage location and moving it on to less expensive and more long-term storage locations.
