# Archive Nodes

## Archive Node Offering

{% hint style="info" %}
RPC Fast offers archive nodes on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and other selected blockchains within the [Self-Hosted Cluster](/self-hosted-cluster/self-hosted-cluster-of-nodes.md) offering.
{% endhint %}

**Archive nodes** store information about previous operations on the particular blockchain and its historical statements. It will help you when you need access to earlier blocks’ data. Running an archive node takes more time and storage capabilities than a typical one. It usually stores a massive amount of data and needs more time for processing.

### Archive Data on ETH

Once, your cluster of nodes set, request archive data for your dApp via one of the JSON-RPC methods:

* eth\_getBalance
* eth\_getProof (only available on BSC)
* eth\_getCode
* eth\_getStorageAt
* eth\_call
* eth\_estimateGas
* eth\_getTransactionCount
