cheqd is a public permissionless Cosmos SDK and CometBFT network for self-sovereign identity, supporting decentralised identifiers (did:cheqd), DID-linked resources and verifiable credentials, whose nodes run cheqd-noded and can be promoted to validators by staking CHEQ. Argusnodes gives you a private cheqd 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 cheqd dedicated node is built from.
Every chain fact below is taken from cheqd's official documentation (docs.cheqd.io), 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 | cheqd-noded |
| Interfaces | CometBFT RPC, REST, gRPC, gRPC-Web |
| Full node | Yes, from $199/mo (standard band) |
| Archive node | Yes, from $799/mo |
| Validator | Public validator role; quoted per setup |
| Gas token | CHEQ |
| Official hardware guidance | Recommended for a cheqd node: 4-8 GB RAM (2 GB minimum), x64 2.0 GHz 2-4 vCPU (1.4 GHz 1 vCPU minimum); storage at least 50GB if starting from a state snapshot, at least 10GB SSD with state sync, and 3 TB for an archive node with full chain history. 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 |
| SLA | 99.99% uptime, written, with credits |
What changed on cheqd recently (reviewed 22 Aug 2026)
- The v3.x upgrade (block 16502390, 2024-12-12) introduced an EIP-1559 feemarket with burned base fee, fee abstraction and IBC packet forwarding, and v3.1.x (v3.1.0 released 2025-01-09) raised the minimum gas price 100x from 50ncheq to 5000ncheq, which must be set in app.toml. source ↗
- The v4.x upgrade (v4.0.0 released 2025-05-23; operators told to run v4.1.1, released 2025-07-15) moved cheqd to Cosmos SDK v0.50 with ABCI++ and IAVL 1.0, and Cosmovisor v1.7.1 auto-download could copy the wrong file, so v1.3.0 or a manual binary copy at upgrade height was advised. source ↗
- cheqd-node v4.2.0 (2026-01-13) and v4.2.1 (2026-02-19, fixing CometBFT CSA-2026-001) are the latest releases, so the project is actively maintained, though the node docs landing page and upgrades page still say the current line is 'v3.x.x' / 'v2.x.x'. source ↗
- Packaged releases are built and tested for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS per the requirements page even though the v2.x upgrade guide required moving validators to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS; archive nodes need 3 TB of disk, far above the 50GB snapshot-based pruned node. source ↗

The cheqd RPC node endpoint provider that hands you the keys.
Your cheqd 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 CometBFT RPC, REST, gRPC, gRPC-Web as documented by cheqd. 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, plus gRPC for your cheqd 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
Chain facts on this page are sourced from cheqd's official documentation, and you can check them yourself:
cheqd dedicated node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a private cheqd RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated cheqd 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 cheqd node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the cheqd 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 cheqd node?
Everything the node can do, with the premium add-ons other providers bill separately included free: unlimited RPS, every RPC method including heavy queries, unlimited gRPC and RPC 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 cheqd node run on?
A machine that meets cheqd'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 cheqd node before I order?
We do not run free trials. Ask us for a latency report for cheqd 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 cheqd archive nodes?
Yes. cheqd's documentation describes full-history operation; we run cheqd archive nodes from $799/mo with historical queries unmetered.
Can I run a cheqd validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. cheqd has a public validator role, and we operate validators under the same monitoring and support as RPC nodes, quoted per setup. Pick "Validator" in the configurator and describe the stake setup.
Can I migrate my cheqd endpoint from QuickNode, GetBlock, Chainstack or another provider?
Yes. A dedicated cheqd node speaks the same CometBFT RPC and REST and gRPC and gRPC-Web 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 cheqd 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 cheqd 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 cheqd 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 cheqd 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 cheqd RPC providers?
Argusnodes is dedicated-only: a private cheqd 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.
