Been running production workloads on Base and BNB, and have had zero reliability issues so far. I’m using Global nodes with archive and debug access enabled - everything works fine. Node response time is quite good, nodes handle consistent traffic and occasional spikes without issue.It’s good they have Endpoints for HTTPS and WebSocket connection. I haven’t had to contact support much, but the few times I did, the response was fast and helpful.

I’m using the global RPC nodes for Polygon and Ethereum. We switched from a self hosted node and am now happy because I don’t need to configure anything. No significant lags so far, but maybe because I m not running a huge volume of calls. So I would say it’s a top RPC provider for this price, removing tons of headache.

With Chainstack global RPC, there’s nothing to configure. The node was live right after deployment, and I haven’t had to touch it since. Works with both HTTPS and WSS calls

Using it for data analytics mostly. Archive access and trace API is much cheaper then in other RPC providers, but everything works really fast. As for me its a perfect balance between price and available RPS on the plan. Quick onboarding and fast node setup are significant benefits of using Chainstack.

The performance has been surprisingly fast for the cost, and I’ve had no issues with reliability. Setup was quick, and the node was up almost instantly. Also Price-to-RPS ratio is fair, especially compared to other providers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a blockchain RPC provider?

A blockchain RPC (Remote Procedure Call) provider connects your application to blockchain networks so it can read data and send transactions. Providers like Chainstack, Ankr, and QuickNode offer infrastructure that removes the need to run your own nodes.

How does Chainstack compare to Alchemy and Ankr on performance?

Chainstack delivers some of the fastest transaction response times in the industry, backed by enterprise-grade reliability across 70+ blockchain networks. While Ankr and QuickNode are strong contenders, Chainstack’s global infrastructure, optimized routing, and consistent uptime give it a clear edge in both speed and stability.

What is method-weight billing, and why doesn’t Chainstack use it?

Some providers charge based on “method weight,” meaning certain blockchain calls cost more. Chainstack uses a flat-fee pricing model, so you can scale your project without unpredictable costs — no matter which methods you call.

Which blockchains are supported by Chainstack?

Chainstack supports 70+ blockchains and protocols, including Base, Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Solana, and more — with both full nodes and archive nodes available.

Who should choose Chainstack over other RPC providers?

Chainstack is ideal for teams that need predictable costs, high performance, and enterprise reliability. Whether you’re a Web3 startup, dApp developer, or established enterprise, you’ll benefit from its flat-fee pricing, global infrastructure, and robust API tools.
