Overview
Running nodes reliably means handling hardware sizing, storage growth, network upgrades, client bugs, peering issues and security patches — continuously. We deploy and manage node fleets across networks in your cloud accounts or dedicated hardware, with automated upgrades, monitoring, alerting and incident response under defined service levels.
Common use cases
- Exchange node fleetNodes for deposits and withdrawals across chains.
- dApp backend nodesDedicated RPC for applications.
- Archive nodesHistorical data for analytics.
- Multi-chain operationsConsistent operations across many networks.
Quick answers
Node Infrastructure Management at a glance
The essentials in brief. Every project is scoped individually — ask us for specifics.
- What is node infrastructure management?
- Managed node infrastructure: deployment, scaling, upgrades, monitoring and 24/7 operations for blockchain nodes.
- Who is it for?
- Typically Web3 startups, fintechs adding digital assets, and institutions exploring tokenization, stablecoins or on-chain settlement.
- What does Shivacha provide?
- Fleet deployment
- Upgrade management
- Storage management
- Monitoring & alerting
- Security hardening
- Managed operations
- Which technologies are used?
- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Solana, Rust, Go (Golang) — chosen to fit your stack and constraints.
- How does the process work?
- Requirements → Design & specification → Implementation → Testnets → Mainnet operations.
- What affects the cost?
- Contract complexity and number of chains
- Custody and wallet model
- Independent audit scope
- Indexing, analytics and back-office tooling
- Compliance integrations (KYC, AML, Travel Rule)
- Upgradeability and governance requirements
- How long does it take?
- A focused contract system or dApp MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks plus independent audit time; institutional platforms usually take 4–9 months.
- How do I get started?

Capabilities
What we deliver
Fleet deployment
Automated provisioning per network.
Upgrade management
Coordinated client upgrades.
Storage management
Pruning, snapshots and growth planning.
Monitoring & alerting
Health, sync and performance.
Security hardening
Network isolation and access control.
Managed operations
On-call response under SLAs.
Architecture
Engineered right from day one
The layers we typically design for protocol & blockchain infrastructure, adapted to your stack and partners.
- Framework vs customEstablished rollup and appchain frameworks where possible; custom only where justified.
- Bridge riskBridges are high-value targets; designs minimise trust and include rate limits and pause controls.
- Operational resilienceRedundant infrastructure, key management and incident runbooks.
- Upgrade governanceClear, transparent upgrade paths with timelocks.
Delivery
How an engagement runs
- 1
Requirements
Throughput, latency, finality, decentralisation and cost targets.
- 2
Design & specification
Protocol specification, threat model and economic analysis.
- 3
Implementation
Client, contracts and tooling with extensive testing.
- 4
Testnets
Staged devnets and public testnets with monitoring and chaos testing.
- 5
Mainnet operations
Launch, validator onboarding, monitoring and upgrade processes.
Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Specification first
Roles, invariants and threat model documented before code.
Adversarial testing
Fuzz, invariant and fork tests plus static analysis on every change.
Key management
Admin keys in multisig or MPC with timelocks on sensitive actions.
Independent audit
Code prepared for — and we recommend — an external audit before mainnet value.

Frequently asked questions
How many networks can you support?
Many; each network has specific operational requirements, which we document and automate.
What SLAs do you offer?
Service levels are agreed per engagement based on architecture, redundancy and coverage requirements.
Should we build an appchain or deploy on an existing network?
Most applications are better served by deploying on an existing Layer 1 or Layer 2. An appchain or rollup makes sense when you need custom execution, dedicated throughput, fee control or specific governance — and can support the operational overhead.
Do you run node infrastructure?
We design, deploy and automate node, RPC and validator infrastructure in your cloud accounts, with monitoring and alerting, and can operate it under a managed services agreement.
