Argusnodes gives you a private Bittensor RPC endpoint on a dedicated bare-metal node that is only yours: unlimited RPS, every method on, premium add-ons included free, one fixed monthly price you can pay in crypto, and engineers on call 24/7. Configure it below and a firm quote lands within the hour.

What your Bittensor dedicated node is built from.
Every chain fact below is taken from Bittensor's official documentation (bittensor.com), last reviewed against it on 22 Aug 2026, not from what is convenient to sell. Where the documentation is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | node-subtensor |
| Interfaces | Substrate JSON-RPC (HTTP + WebSocket), Ethereum JSON-RPC (EVM) |
| Full node | Yes, from $199/mo (standard band) |
| Archive node | Yes, from $799/mo |
| Validator | Block production is permissioned: 'A permissioned set of validator authorities produces and finalizes blocks' (Aura/GRANDPA PoA); running a node or holding TAO does not join the authority set. Subnet validators (Yuma consensus, permissionless, top-K by stake per subnet) score miners but do not produce blocks. |
| Chain ID | 964 |
| Gas token | TAO |
| Official hardware guidance | Running-a-node guide: '4+ CPU cores and 16 GB RAM as a floor' with fast NVMe; a lite node needs ~128 GB disk and an archive node 'at least ~3.5 TB of disk'. source ↗ |
| Argusnodes build | Meets the official guidance above with headroom on top, never at the minimum. Your quote names the exact CPU, RAM and NVMe. |
| Locations | 18 Tier-3 cities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific |

What changed on Bittensor recently (reviewed 22 Aug 2026)
- The subtensor repository now lives under the RaoFoundation GitHub org (opentensor/subtensor redirects there) and release Docker images publish to ghcr.io/raofoundation/subtensor; the old Opentensor bittensor/btcli repos are archived under RaoFoundation. source ↗
- Developer docs moved to bittensor.com/docs; docs.learnbittensor.org now 301-redirects there, and Bittensor v11 unified the SDK and btcli into one package (migration guide from v9/v10). source ↗
- Runtime upgrades are frequent (Runtime 443 on 4 Aug 2026, 445 on 12 Aug 2026, 446-448 proposed mid/late Aug 2026), so node operators must track node-subtensor releases closely. source ↗

The Bittensor RPC node endpoint provider that hands you the keys.
Your Bittensor endpoint lives on your own domain, locked to the IPs you allowlist, served from the city you choose across 18 Tier-3 datacentre locations. The node exposes Substrate JSON-RPC (HTTP + WebSocket), Ethereum JSON-RPC (EVM) as documented by Bittensor. Live p50 and p99 latency for your node streams to your dashboard, and the 99.99% SLA applies in writing. New to dedicated nodes? The dedicated RPC node guide covers the model end to end.
What you get on day one
- An HTTPS endpoint and a WebSocket (WSS) endpoint for your Bittensor node, on your own domain if you want one
- Access locked to the IP addresses you allowlist
- A login to the Argusnodes dashboard: live p50 and p99 for your node, your orders and payments
- Engineers on ticket, chat, Telegram or Slack, 24/7
Your first request, once the node is live (rpc.yourdomain.com stands in for your endpoint):
curl https://rpc.yourdomain.com \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[]}'Chain facts on this page are sourced from Bittensor's official documentation, and you can check them yourself:
Bittensor dedicated node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a private Bittensor RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated Bittensor 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 Bittensor node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the Bittensor 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 $199/mo for my Bittensor node?
Everything the node can do, with the premium add-ons other providers bill separately included free: unlimited RPS, every RPC method including debug and trace, 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 Bittensor node run on?
A machine that meets Bittensor's official hardware guidance (quoted in the spec sheet on this page) with headroom on top. We never build at the minimum, because a node sized to the minimum becomes the bottleneck the day the chain grows. Your quote names the exact CPU, RAM and NVMe before you pay.
Can I test a Bittensor node before I order?
We do not run free trials. Ask us for a latency report for Bittensor from the city you want and you see the numbers before you order. Billing is monthly with no lock-in, so you can cancel at the end of any month.
Does Argusnodes run Bittensor archive nodes and trace methods?
Yes. Bittensor's documentation describes full-history operation; we run Bittensor archive nodes from $799/mo with trace and historical queries unmetered. Debug and trace methods are on for full nodes too, within their state window.
Can I run a Bittensor validator with Argusnodes?
Block production is permissioned: 'A permissioned set of validator authorities produces and finalizes blocks' (Aura/GRANDPA PoA); running a node or holding TAO does not join the authority set. Subnet validators (Yuma consensus, permissionless, top-K by stake per subnet) score miners but do not produce blocks. We run every node type the chain actually offers and none it does not.
Can I migrate my Bittensor endpoint from QuickNode, GetBlock, Chainstack or another provider?
Yes. A dedicated Bittensor node speaks the same Substrate JSON-RPC (HTTP + WebSocket) and Ethereum JSON-RPC (EVM) 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.
Which city should I pick for my Bittensor node?
Any of 18 Tier-3 datacentre cities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific. Deploy near your users for an app, or ask us where Bittensor latency is lowest for a bot; we answer from measurement. Need a city we do not list? Ask.
Are there rate limits or connection caps on a dedicated Bittensor 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 Bittensor node, and can I cancel?
Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer or crypto, billed monthly; crypto payments need no KYC. Cancel at the end of any monthly term; the node is provisioned for you alone, so there is no meter to escape and no exit fee.
How does Argusnodes compare to QuickNode, GetBlock, Chainstack and other Bittensor RPC providers?
Argusnodes is dedicated-only: a private Bittensor endpoint on a bare-metal node with no rate limits, at one fixed price from $199/mo with every add-on included. Per their own pricing pages: QuickNode sells dedicated clusters through enterprise sales without published prices, Chainstack bills dedicated nodes per hour on top of a paid plan, and Zeeve applies monthly request allowances on dedicated plans below its Enterprise tier (all checked August 2026); GetBlock lists dedicated nodes from $1,000/mo, with IP allowlisting and a custom endpoint URL sold as $199/mo add-ons each (checked September 2026). The comparison table on this page links every source.
What is the Bittensor chain ID?
964 (hex 0x3c4), per Bittensor's official documentation. A dedicated Bittensor node answers eth_chainId with it, so wallets and libraries configured for Bittensor work against your endpoint unchanged.

Already own servers? We set up your Bittensor RPC node on them.
Colo racks, spare machines, hardware your compliance rules say you must own: we install, sync, tune and monitor the Bittensor node on your servers. You keep the hardware and the custody. You get the same private endpoint, the same no-limits configuration, the same dashboard and the same 24/7 engineers, for one flat monthly management fee, quoted within the hour and payable in crypto. We never charge for metal.
Check your machine against Bittensor's official hardware guidance in the spec sheet above. We confirm the fit before anything is billed.
