For Trader Nodes deployed on the most of public chains, Chainstack supports the following modes:
Full — a node that stores full blockchain data. However, it has limitations to how many blocks are available for querying.
Archive — a node that stores full blockchain data and an archive of historical states, which makes it possible to query any block since the chain genesis.
Warp transactions — nodes dedicated to propagating and landing transaction at the fastest speed possible. See Warp transactions.
The following modes are available per each protocol:

A dedicated gateway is one of the Trader Node customization features that is available on the Enterprise plan.Dedicated gateways process connections and traffic exclusively for a specific customer, avoiding potential issues from handling multiple customers’ workload. This ensures a stable and reliable connection while reducing the likelihood of connection errors.
