From a brand-new server region in the United States to redesigned pricing for dedicated nodes, we have been working across every layer of the platform. Here is everything that shipped in April 2026.
New Pricing for Dedicated Nodes, Including a Setup Fee
This month we made dedicated nodes easier to order, to pay for, and there is a limited time cheaper to get started with.
Pay for Dedicated Nodes Directly from Your Balance
You can now pay for dedicated nodes directly from your NOWNodes account balance, without going through a separate checkout flow.
Dedicated nodes can now also be ordered entirely through the NOWNodes interface — select your network, review the pricing, pay, and provisioning starts immediately. No need to contact the sales team or wait for a manual quote.
No Setup Fee for the Next Two Months
For a limited time until June 28, we are waiving installation fees for all orders on dedicated nodes. All current prices are visible directly in your personal account, so you can plan your infrastructure costs without any surprises. Now is a good moment to spin up that node you have been putting off.
Link a Card, Get a Free Month — Automatically
When paying for the purchase of a Pro plan with a card and turning on autopay, you automatically receive an extra month of subscription at no charge. No promo codes, no manual requests — it applies instantly as part of the standard billing flow.
NOWNodes Servers Are Now Live in the United States
NOWNodes has officially launched a new server cluster in the United States, giving North American developers access to significantly lower latency when querying nodes.
For teams building latency-sensitive applications — trading bots, DeFi protocols, payment processors — proximity to infrastructure matters enormously. Before we finished the US rollout, requests bouncing between regions were taking anywhere from 240 ms to over 700 ms. And now, with traffic staying local, those same calls come back in under 80 ms — 32ms. For most methods, that’s a 10× speed improvement for North American traffic.
Three New Networks Added to the NOWNodes Ecosystem
April brings three new integrations: QIE Network, Celo Network, and Theta EVM’s new interface — expanding the range of ecosystems available through NOWNodes.
QIE Network — New Blockchain
QIE is a next-generation Layer 1 focused on high-throughput transaction processing. API access is live — you can start querying the network today through NOWNodes.
Celo — New Network
Celo is a mobile-first, EVM-compatible blockchain focused on accessible financial infrastructure. We have added it as a full network integration, complete with a RPC interface in your dashboard.
Theta — New EVM Interface
Theta is a decentralized infrastructure chain originally built for video streaming, now with a fully programmable EVM layer. We’ve added a dedicated EVM interface so you can interact with Theta smart contracts directly through NOWNodes.
Why These Updates Matter
Whether it’s reducing the clicks needed to pay an invoice, improving subscription logic, or bringing your servers closer to your users — we obsess over the details.More updates are already in progress. In the meantime, explore the new features directly in your NOWNodes Dashboard and see how April’s changes can improve your workflow.
