This week DIN spotlights Chainstack, one of our inaugural infrastructure providers and a long-time contributor to Consensys projects. Since 2018 Chainstack has focused on making blockchain infrastructure as dependable and straightforward as modern cloud workloads. Early work included hosting Ethereum Archive nodes and helping MetaMask absorb congestion spikes, experiences that positioned the team perfectly for DIN’s permissionless RPC marketplace.

Reliability by Design

Chainstack operates full and archive nodes across the United States and Europe, serving more than 10 billion relays per month for customers such as 1kx, Story Protocol, DRPC, PASG Network, Pokt.Network, ARKEO, Lava Network, and Elliptic. Their multi-cloud setup automatically scales and monitors nodes, delivering low-latency access while avoiding single-region bottlenecks. Public tooling like the Compare Dashboard offers real-time success-rate and latency benchmarks that anyone can audit, reinforcing their transparency ethos.

Why DIN Fit the Mission

Many “decentralized” RPC services still depend on a single hidden operator or require builders to stitch together several vendors. DIN replaces that patchwork with a unified, on-chain marketplace that routes traffic to the fastest, most reliable endpoints. Chainstack views this model as the missing link between ease of use and true decentralization. Joining DIN allowed the team to plug its high-availability clusters into a network where performance is continuously verified and fairly rewarded.

Network Coverage on DIN

Chainstack currently delivers endpoints for

• Ethereum

• Arbitrum and Arbitrum Sepolia

• Base

• BNB Smart Chain (BSC)

• Scroll

• Solana

• Starknet

• ZKsync

These eight ecosystems align with Chainstack’s existing full and archive node fleet, ensuring instant, globally distributed capacity for builders who need production-grade throughput.

Business Impact

DIN’s performance-weighted routing naturally directs heavy traffic toward well-maintained infrastructure. Chainstack’s clusters absorb that demand without extra overhead because monitoring, alerting, and billing pipelines were already in place. The result is a healthy boost to enterprise revenue, achieved through reliability alone rather than aggressive sales tactics.

Unexpected Insights

The team predicted Ethereum-centric usage but quickly saw developers overwhelming Mantle and Blast endpoints the moment those networks went live. This rapid adoption confirmed that a neutral marketplace can accelerate new-chain growth simply by making high-quality RPC instantly discoverable.

Building a Stronger Web3 Backbone

Chainstack believes decentralized infrastructure is indispensable for user-friendly, resilient dApps. Their open-source tools, such as the Compare Dashboard and load-balancer templates, let projects build multi-cloud, geographically balanced RPC stacks in minutes. They also foresee pricing moving from per-request billing to predictable RPS tiers, similar to the Unlimited Node add-on that offers flat-fee, capacity-capped clusters for demanding workloads.

Looking Ahead

The Chainstack team is eager to

• contribute analytics and benchmarking utilities for DIN,

• deploy and configure new networks on demand, and

• continue refining flat-rate capacity models that simplify budgeting for high-traffic applications.

Their long-term commitment to performance and openness makes Chainstack a cornerstone of DIN’s growing provider ecosystem.
