Spectrum Nodes

Spectrum Nodes is a professional blockchain node infrastructure provider built and operated by Simply Staking, a Malta-based blockchain infrastructure company that also runs validators and staking services across more than 50 networks. Spectrum Nodes launched in June 2025 as a dedicated RPC and node hosting product line, offering developers and projects access to dedicated nodes, shared RPC endpoints, and archive nodes across 20+ blockchain networks, including Solana.

What Spectrum Nodes Provides

Spectrum Nodes sells access to blockchain infrastructure in three tiers: shared RPC endpoints, dedicated nodes, and archive nodes. Shared endpoints are multi-tenant access points where API calls are routed across a shared cluster. Dedicated nodes give a single customer exclusive access to a full node — useful for production applications that need predictable latency and rate limits unaffected by other users. Archive nodes store the full history of a blockchain's state, required for applications that need to query historical data beyond a network's pruning window.

The service covers 20+ chains. On Solana, the product offers dedicated Solana RPC nodes and archive node access. Spectrum Nodes' infrastructure is hosted from Simply Staking's data centers in Malta, with additional presence in other European jurisdictions.

Simply Staking Background

Simply Staking was founded in Malta and has operated blockchain validators since the early Cosmos IBC era. The company runs validators across more than 50 networks, spanning Cosmos SDK chains, EVM networks, and Solana. Its staking services are used by institutional and retail delegators. Spectrum Nodes is the company's infrastructure-as-a-service arm, separating the RPC and node hosting product from the staking validator operations.

Simply Staking has operated as a Solana validator before the Spectrum Nodes product line launched. This validator experience is cited as the basis for the reliability guarantees offered under the Spectrum Nodes brand.

Pricing and SLA

Spectrum Nodes offers a subscription pricing model for dedicated nodes with minimum commitment periods. Shared endpoint access is available at lower price points with usage-based billing. The company publishes uptime SLAs for dedicated node products, targeting enterprise and production-grade use cases where endpoint reliability is a business requirement.

Solana Ecosystem Fit

Solana application developers, indexers, and dApps require reliable RPC access to query on-chain state, submit transactions, and listen to account updates. The public Solana RPC endpoints maintained by the Solana Foundation are rate-limited and unsuitable for production workloads. Commercial RPC providers fill this gap by offering guaranteed availability, custom rate limits, and dedicated infrastructure.

Spectrum Nodes competes with established Solana RPC providers including Helius, QuickNode, and Triton One. Its differentiators are the European data center presence (relevant for latency-sensitive European-user applications), the archive node offering (useful for analytics and compliance applications), and the Simply Staking validator track record as a credibility signal for infrastructure reliability.

For projects that want a single provider across Solana and Cosmos or EVM chains, Spectrum Nodes' multi-chain coverage simplifies the vendor relationship — particularly relevant for cross-chain applications and portfolio infrastructure teams that operate across multiple ecosystems.
