Coinbase Cloud Launches Solana Archival Nodes

Blockchain infrastructure platform Coinbase Cloud announced the launch of Solana archival nodes yesterday, a tool to help developers build products and services that run on the network. 

Prior to this, Coinbase Cloud introduced specialized standard Solana nodes that let developers access and validate blockchain transaction data. Developers can access all historical data going back to the Solana genesis block by expanding into Solana archival nodes.

Coinbase Cloud handling the heavy lifting

Many blockchain-based initiatives, such as analytics and data providers, require infrastructure that is secure, user-friendly, and dependable in addition to the 128 most recent blocks that a typical Solana node can view.

Despite being ideally suited for use cases like trading, Solana’s high-throughput design makes managing archival nodes difficult from a technical standpoint. As of right now, Solana processes about 3,000 transactions per second and needs about 100 terabytes of storage for historical data, thus maintaining archival nodes takes time and money.

One of the biggest infrastructure platforms to provide the service, Coinbase Cloud has been supporting the Solana blockchain ever since it started running validators on the system. Following a similar step by QuickNode and Jump Crypto’s validator client release last month, the news also signifies further industry expansion for Solana’s blockchain infrastructure.
