Frequently asked questions

We help industry-leading teams succeed at scale with the right infrastructure.

  • Use Alchemy's shared infrastructure solution, Node RPC APIs, by default. You likely need Dedicated Clusters if you require custom tracers or binaries, deployments in specific regions beyond our standard footprint, or single-tenant isolation for regulatory or compliance reasons.

  • Dedicated Clusters are built for workloads that require custom execution environments, single-tenant isolation, or regional deployments. Common use cases include:

    • Security and forensics — custom tracers and binaries for simulation and debug_trace-heavy workloads.
    • Financial institutions — single-tenant isolation, regional compliance, and audit-ready infrastructure.
    • Trading and DeFi — regional deployments near sequencers and validators for ultra-low latency.
    • Oracles — high-throughput, multi-chain workloads with predictable capacity-based pricing.
    • Analytics and explorers — unlimited getLogs ranges for chain scanning, backfills, and custom indexing.
    • Exchanges and in-house operators — replace self-managed nodes with fully managed dedicated infrastructure.
  • Yes. Most teams run a hybrid setup — Dedicated for the chains and workloads that require it, everything else on Alchemy's Node RPC. Same APIs, same integration, one bill.
  • Yes. We provision, operate, and maintain your clusters — including upgrades, monitoring, redundancy, and failover. You connect and build. We handle the rest.
  • As fast as a few hours depending on the chain, client type, region, and configuration. Complex setups may take longer.
  • Dedicated clusters are sized to your expected throughput. If traffic spikes beyond capacity, you can opt in to automatic failover to Alchemy's RPC platform, and we can work together to scale the cluster to increase capacity.
  • Dedicated Clusters are priced on provisioned capacity, not per-request usage. Pricing depends on chain, node type, throughput, and capabilities included. Contact sales for a quote.
  • Running nodes in-house means hiring a team, building monitoring and routing infrastructure, staying ahead of constant client upgrades across every chain, and firefighting when upgrades are missed and nodes fall behind. Dedicated Clusters give you the control of in-house without the operational burden.
