FAQ
What type of infrastructure is best for hosting a blockchain project?
The best infrastructure for hosting a blockchain project depends on your specific use case, but most projects benefit from dedicated servers or cloud infrastructure that offer high performance, low latency, and strong network reliability.
For blockchain nodes, validators, sequencers, or RPC endpoints, you need infrastructure that supports:
- Scalability to handle traffic spikes
- High bandwidth with low packet loss
- DDoS protection to mitigate attacks
- Global availability for decentralised deployment
- Transparent pricing with no hidden traffic costs
Many blockchain teams choose bare metal servers to avoid virtualisation overhead and gain full control over their environment, especially when performance and decentralisation are priorities.
Who uses dedicated servers for blockchain projects?
Dedicated servers are widely used in the blockchain space by teams that need performance, control, and reliability. Common users include:
- Validator node operators looking for consistent uptime, low latency, and bare-metal performance.
- RPC and archival node providers, who require high IOPS and large storage capacity to serve blockchain data at scale.
- Layer 2 projects and rollup developers, running custom infrastructure for scalability solutions.
- DeFi and Web3 platforms, hosting backend services and APIs on secure, isolated environments.
Dedicated servers are especially popular among builders who prioritise decentralisation, need root access, or want to avoid the noisy-neighbour effect common in virtualised environments.
How can you easily deploy a blockchain node?
You can deploy a blockchain node easily on OVHcloud Dedicated Servers by using automation scripts or API calls to manage infrastructure without manual steps.
OVHcloud follows an API-first approach, giving blockchain teams the ability to automate node deployment, server provisioning, and network setup at scale. For even more flexibility, OVHcloud offers an official Terraform provider, allowing you to define your infrastructure as code and deploy across multiple datacentres with consistency.
This is particularly useful for blockchain projects running multiple nodes, like validators, RPC endpoints, or sequencers, where automation ensures speed, reliability, and reproducibility.
What kind of servers are best for Web3 applications?
Web3 applications benefit most from high-performance, low-latency servers that offer full control, scalability, and strong network reliability. Depending on your workload (from running smart contracts to serving decentralised front-ends or hosting full blockchain nodes), the ideal setup often includes:
- Bare metal servers, for maximum performance, root access, and isolation, especially useful for validators, sequencers, or storage-heavy applications.
- Cloud instances for front-end or API layers that need elasticity and fast scaling.
- High IOPS storage for fast read/write operations, important for indexing services or dApps with real-time data access.
- Global distribution to ensure latency is minimised and users can access services from any region.
OVHcloud offers dedicated servers with no virtualisation overhead, private networking, and free DDoS protection, making them an ideal choice for Web3 developers looking for both performance and reliability without hidden costs.
How can you track the carbon footprint of your blockchain infrastructure?
Tracking the carbon footprint of your blockchain infrastructure is key to building more sustainable Web3 projects. To do this, you need visibility into the energy consumption and environmental impact of your infrastructure provider.
OVHcloud helps customers monitor and reduce their carbon footprint by providing:
- An Environmental Impact Tracker that estimates emissions associated with your use of OVHcloud services, including dedicated servers and cloud instances.
- Data from ISO 50001-certified datacentres, which follow strict energy efficiency standards.
- Full ownership of water- and energy-efficient infrastructure, optimised for lower emissions through practices like water cooling and waste heat reuse.
- Transparency reports on energy use and sustainability initiatives.
By choosing a provider with eco-designed datacentres and tools for carbon tracking, blockchain teams can align their infrastructure with sustainability goals and support the broader mission of a greener Web3 ecosystem.
What are blockchain solutions?
Blockchain solutions are software applications built on blockchain technology that use a distributed ledger to record transactions securely and transparently. These solutions manage digital assets, financial transactions, tokens, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and even physical assets in supply chain management.
By removing intermediaries and reducing reliance on a central authority, blockchain solutions improve trust, cost reduction, and fraud prevention. They are widely used in financial services, healthcare, government, real estate, loyalty programs, and enterprise systems, enabling participants to securely exchange, collect, and validate transaction data across private blockchain and public blockchain.
