# BloqNodes

#### Description

The BloqNodes service enables users to create a new dedicated, managed blockchain node.

Currently, the Nodes service supports mainnet and testnet for the following chains:

* Bitcoin (BTC)
* Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
* Litecoin (LTC) (mainnet only)
* Ethereum (ETH)
* Avalanche (AVAX)

#### Why BloqNodes?

In just a few steps, you can spin up your own dedicated cluster of nodes to access the most important blockchain networks. With BloqNodes, you can leave the infrastructure concerns to us.

Please refer to the [command line interface](/bloq-services/bloqnodes/cli.md) or [Bloq Console](https://console.bloq.cloud/) for the latest available blockchain software versions available.
