If you are a developer using snapchain regularly, it is worth considering setting up your own local node. Queries to a local node are really fast.

For probably less than $250 you can get a RaspberryPi5 (16GB, it's important), with an internal 1TB SSD (+SD, PSU, etc). 

It won't be able to support thousands of clients making requests simultaneously, but it's more than enough for any dev, or data analyst.

What is snapchain and what are the benefits of doing this?
