Hi HN, Alexey from Chainstack here.

We built Chainstack Self-Hosted to package everything we’ve learned from 8+ years of running blockchain nodes into a single control panel. The goal we’re building this product around is to make blockchain infrastructure boring to operate.

The software is free to install. You only pay for the infrastructure you run it on.

The quickest way to get hands-on with it is through the Vultr Marketplace or one of the other providers listed in the docs.

The current release supports Ethereum Mainnet, Sepolia, and Hoodi with Reth + Prysm full nodes. We’ll be adding more EVM chains in the coming weeks and expect Self-Hosted to support all major blockchain protocols by EOY.

I’d love feedback from people who run their own nodes today. What’s still the most painful part: initial setup, sync times, storage management, monitoring, upgrades, failover, or something else?
