Running your own blockchain nodes just got simpler.
Our goal is to be the go-to blockchain node platform across any protocol and environment. Today, we take another step toward that.

- ⚡ "Fastest RPC" claims measure response speed. They don't measure data freshness — block lag. For @solana_devs on real-time workloads: stale balances, account state that's already behind, blockhashes you'll have to refetch anyway. Even at sub-100ms response times. % of time
00:00The worst-performing provider in this 7-day window was behind the chain tip ~15% of the time. For workloads that depend on current state (trading, DEX pricing, real-time bots), that's a measurable hit. Live data and methodology 📊 chainstack.grafana.net/public-dashboa…
Where this hits in practice: → Payment systems: stale balance reads cause false approvals that fail on submission → DeFi backends: routing decisions on outdated liquidity state → Trading bots: blockhashes near ~150 slot expiry submit silently, then drop Deep dive on slot
- If you're still on Google Blockchain Node Engine, you can't spin up new nodes anymore. June 15 was the cutoff. Dec 15 is the deletion 🪦 Google's recommended migration path bills on credits. On archive/trace workloads — exactly what BNE attracted, that's a 3-5x bill jump vs flat
- Most @solana_devs encounter MEV before they understand it. 367 active searchers. Top 3 take 20% of all tips. Operating outside this stack means competing at a structural disadvantage on every high-value transaction⚡ A breakdown of how Jito actually works 🧵
Replying to @ChainstackHQTips and priority fees are different mechanisms. → Priority fee: @solana base layer, validators (protocol) → Jito tip: Block Engine auction, Jito validator + stakers A bundle needs both. Under-tipping on Jito loses auction priority. Missing the priority fee risks base-layer
ShredStream is the latency edge. Hundreds of ms saved on incoming block data. For competitive MEV that's the margin between this slot and the next. Chainstack ships it by default on Solana Global Node 🛠️ Full breakdown by @arorautkarshini: - Your own reliable blockchain node with unlimited RPC — for less than $100/month ⚡️ Chainstack Self-Hosted is now available on the @Vultr Marketplace. Deploy production-grade blockchain nodes in minutes with one-click installation across 33 global regions. Free Community
- Most @HyperliquidX indexers are missing transactions right now. Not because of bugs. They're hitting the path that strips them. 🧵

Both paths live by default on every Chainstack Hyperliquid node. Spin up a node in a few clicks, append /evm or /nanoreth and you're done 🛠️ - More Yellowstone gRPC streams are now live on @solana 🔥 Same price, more concurrent streams, more ways to use them. 🔹$49/mo now gets you 2 streams, up from 1. 🔹$149/mo now gets you 7 streams, up from 5. Existing subscriptions are already updated. You don't have to doYour Yellowstone gRPC setup can now do more without changing your plan: → Production plus a hot backup → Separate staging and production streams → Dedicated feeds for indexing and monitoring → More room to test, scale, and isolate workloads Get the add-on →
- Most @base bugs trace to one mistake: reading "latest" where the code needed "safe". 5 confirmation tiers you should know: → Flashblock: 200ms, sequencer preconf → latest: 2s, reversible → safe: 5–10 min, batch on Ethereum → finalized: 15–20 min, validators signed off →
- The fastest @arbitrum RPC provider? We ran the numbers 📊 Chainstack leads across regions: - Global: 0.31 🥇 - US West: 0.31 🥇 - Asia: 0.25 🥇 Want to see the full data? Check out our live benchmark dashboard: chainstack.grafana.net/public-dashboa…
00:00Building on Arbitrum? 🛠️ Fast and reliable RPC matters — low latency means faster tx, better UX, fewer timeouts. Get started with Chainstack 👇🏻 - On Oct 10, 2025, crypto markets liquidated $19B in 24 hours. One perp DEX ran 100M+ monthly RPC calls through the entire thing — p99 under 250ms, 99.99% response rate, zero manual intervention. Here's how @stobixcom built infrastructure that holds up when markets don't 🧵
Replying to @ChainstackHQThey moved to Chainstack as the primary RPC. Results: → 99.99% RPC response rate → p99 under 250ms on primary EVM chains → ~30% cost reduction vs previous setup "Anyone can look good on a calm Tuesday. The question is what happens during a market-wide liquidation cascade."Stobix didn't lose a single request on the worst day of 2025. Read the full story 👇🏻
