Infrastructure & Data – Running nodes and dApps reliably

Blockchain: Nodes & dApps operate reliably

Full nodes, validator infrastructure, indexers and dApp back-ends running on reliable hardware – with the storage throughput that chains require today.

Why centron

Infrastructure for chain operators

Blockchain infrastructure is unforgiving: it demands uptime, fast drives and ever-increasing storage capacity.

NVMe for Chain-State

Modern blockchains require high IOPS – NVMe volumes ensure fast synchronisation and state access, and can be scaled as the blockchain grows.

Uptime for validators

Dedicated servers with a 99.9 per cent SLA and monitoring with alerts minimise downtime, where downtime costs money.

Peers are well connected

Redundant connectivity and German peering ensure stable peer connections and low block latencies.

Keys protected

VPC isolation, firewalls and separate signing set-ups protect what really matters in this industry.

From testnet to production

The stack behind your dApp

Testnet nodes run cost-effectively on VMs, whilst production nodes and validators run on dedicated servers; indexers and APIs scale in Kubernetes, and snapshots speed up the re-synchronisation of new nodes. Everything is monitored – because with Chains, every missed epoch counts.

Infrastructure & Data FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I deal with the chain’s storage growth?

With volumes that scale as your business grows: Chain data is stored on scalable NVMe block storage from €0.05/GB – expand without the need for resynchronisation. Snapshots of the volumes also significantly speed up the deployment of additional nodes.

How much does it cost to get started?

The starting prices are deliberately low: Dedicated Servers from €29.99 per month, volumes from €0.05 per GB per month and Advanced Monitoring from €4.99 per month. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit valid for 60 days – you can calculate the cost of your specific configuration transparently using the price calculator.

Can this be implemented in a way that complies with the GDPR?

Yes – although there is one particular point to note here: once data is stored on a chain, it cannot be deleted, which conflicts with the right to erasure under Article 17 of the GDPR. Personal data must therefore be stored off-chain. At centron, this off-chain layer is located in Germany, in certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres with an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certificate for ccloud³ / Managed Cloud. Further details can be found in the Trust Centre.
