It has been about eight months since I last reviewed the list of active Steem RPC nodes. Since then, there have been quite a few updates - new nodes being added and existing nodes being deprecated. It is time to review the list of nodes again to get an accurate and up to date list.
I compiled RPC node list data from five sources:
(1) Steem.center (community maintained)
(2) Full API Node Update posts (
(3) geo.steem.pl (
(4) steemistry.com (
(5) Steem Developer Portal (
Based on the list compiled from those five lists, I ran a brief test of each node. Below are the results.
Nodes that appear active:
| Node | Operator |
|---|---|
| api.steemit.com | |
| api.steem.house |  |
| gtg.steem.house:8090 | |
| appbasetest.timcliff.com |  |
| rpc.steemviz.com |  |
| steemd.minnowsupportproject.org | |
| steemd.privex.io |  |
| rpc.usesteem.com |  |
| anyx.io |  |
| hive.anyx.io | |
Nodes that appear deprecated:
| Node | Operator |
|---|---|
| api.steemitstage.com | |
| api.steemitdev.com | |
| appbase.buildteam.io | |
| rpc.curiesteem.com |  |
| rpc.steemliberator.com |  |
| rpc.buildteam.io | |
Calls to Action:
If you are a node operator, please review the above list!
- If the status of your node is accurate, you can either ignore (take no action) or let me know that the status is correct in the comments below.
- If the status of your node is wrong, then please let me know.
- If you are running a RPC node that is not in this list, please let me know so I can add it.
Also, if anyone maintains an active list of RPC nodes (similar to the five above) or knows of any active RPC nodes not in the list - please let me know so I can add them to my list as well.
Next Steps
After everyone has been given an opportunity to review the list, I'll update the Steem.center wiki page and submit a pull request to update the Steem Developer Portal. I'll also provide the list to
