No KYC means your on-chain footprint is actually private. [Recommended plans](#plans) [Find Best Jurisdiction](https://servprivacy.com/jurisdiction-selector) #### Key requirements - Fast NVMe (BTC full chain ~600 GB, ETH archive ~20 TB) - High RAM (ETH validator needs 32+ GB) - High IOPS (validators are I/O bound) - 24/7 uptime with SLA credits - Anonymous payment (node IP is not linked to identity) No KYC Crypto Only No Logs DMCA Ignored Full Root NVMe SSD ## Why run your own node Running your own node means you don't trust Infura, Alchemy, or any other provider to tell you the truth about chain state. Your wallet queries go through infrastructure you control. Bonus: you help decentralize the network. ## Hardware requirements by chain Bitcoin full node: VPS-M, 600 GB disk. Ethereum validator (consensus + execution): DS-2 or DS-3 with 128 GB RAM and 2 TB NVMe. Ethereum archive node: DS-4, 256 GB RAM, 4×4 TB NVMe. Monero full node: VPS-L, 200 GB disk. ## Jurisdiction & staking Switzerland is the de facto capital of crypto: crypto-friendly legal framework, first to legalize staking as a non-taxable event, strong data protection for validator keys. Iceland and Netherlands are also strong choices with good peering. Best jurisdictions ## Best jurisdictions for crypto nodes Switzerland for regulatory clarity, Iceland and Netherlands for performance.

Yes. DS-2 or DS-3 is recommended (need ≥ 64 GB RAM and ≥ 2 TB NVMe). The dedicated server gives you consistent I/O latency that shared VPS cannot guarantee for validator uptime. ### 02 What about keys — are they safe on a hosted server? LUKS encrypts disk at rest. For Ethereum validators, use a signer (like Web3Signer) on the hosted machine with the validator keys encrypted; for maximum security, use a separate air-gapped signer and only keep online keys on the server. ### 03 Do you limit bandwidth for node traffic? No. Unlimited bandwidth means your node can serve other peers and sync without metering. ### 04 Can I run multiple validators on one server? Yes. A DS-3 or DS-4 can handle 10–20 validators comfortably if RAM/disk allows. Check consensus client docs for recommended I/O headroom. ### 05 What about slashing risk? Slashing happens on double-signing. Don't run the same validator key on two hosts. Our 99.9% SLA helps minimize downtime risk, but use a monitoring + failover setup for validator operations. ## Run your own node Fast NVMe, high RAM, anonymous — purpose-built for crypto infrastructure.
