BigTable Archive

We provide full archival access for Solana blocks on our nodes. Requests for transactions will be served from the local node if possible. Otherwise, the request is sent to a BigTable archive. This means you can query data back to genesis. However, archival access incurs extra fees based on queries served. Any query sent to our Solana ledger archive (AKA "block-cache") will incur charges of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per million queries (or a fraction thereof). The minimum charge is $25.00/month. Example queries include getTransaction, getBlock, or getSignaturesForAddress.

Archival access can be disabled/enabled on dedicated nodes as per request. By default, we disable it so you will not incur the egress fees. Use our customer support channels over Telegram, Slack, or [e-mail] to activate historical access on your node.

You can also control whether or not a specific query should be allowed to be served from the historical archive by providing an "X-bigtable: disabled" header in your HTTP request.
