FAQ
What is an Ark node provider?
An Ark node provider delivers managed blockchain infrastructure, giving developers instant access to the Ark network without the burden of deploying and maintaining their own nodes. Instead of dealing with synchronization, storage requirements, software updates, and ongoing maintenance, teams can connect to reliable hosted endpoints and start building immediately.
What is an Ark API?
An Ark API provides secure access to the Ark blockchain through high-performance endpoints. Developers can broadcast transactions, retrieve block and transaction data, query wallet addresses and balances, monitor network activity, and integrate Ark blockchain functionality into wallets, explorers, exchanges, and other applications without operating their own infrastructure.
Should I run an Ark node myself?
Running your own Ark node is not necessary for most projects. Operating a node requires storage capacity, continuous synchronization, security monitoring, software updates, and dedicated infrastructure. These requirements often make self-hosted nodes costly and time-consuming, particularly as your application grows.
What Ark APIs does NOWNodes support?
NOWNodes provides Ark RPC API and Archive mode through reliable, enterprise-grade infrastructure. These services enable developers to broadcast transactions, retrieve block and transaction data, access complete historical blockchain records, query addresses and balances, and build wallets, explorers, analytics platforms, and other blockchain applications without maintaining their own Ark nodes.
You can try the interfaces even before purchasing our API through Testnet. There is a whole nodelist of our service https://nownodes.io/nodes.
How do I start using an Ark node?
After logging in to NOWNodes and selecting a plan, navigate to the Dashboard in your account and scroll down the page. There you will find the Add a New Key button. Click it to generate your API key, then use it to connect to the Ark API.
Can I access Ark infrastructure for free?
Yes. You can start with our START plan, which provides access to shared Ark infrastructure with up to 100,000 API requests per month.
