# Nodes - Be Faster

## What is a node?

To make fast BUY and SELL orders, the Chainsniper bot needs to check the blockchain very quickly. To do so, it needs to get the latests transactions --> this is done by interacting with a so called "node". You can use different types of nodes for your [sniper bot](https://pump-bot.com/crypto-bots/sniper-bot-frontrunner-chainsniper-dexbot/) - There can be 3 kinds of nodes :

| Kind of node                                                     | Explanation                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                | Pros and cons                                                                                                                                                          | Speed                                                                                                        |

## Is my internet connection important?

{% hint style="warning" %}
Computer spec is not very important for our Chainsniper, **most important is good internet connection with good ping :**

The computer/server running the **BOT** must be as close as possible from the **NODE**
{% endhint %}

## What are our default nodes, and where are they located? &#x20;

Read below for details about the default nodes provided by our team if you use CUSTOMNODE = false.<br>

## Do I need a dedicated node?

{% hint style="info" %}
**If you use Chainsniper PumpBot, yes, it's advised to use a private node**&#x20;

Our default nodes are shared with other customers, so it won't give you results good enough.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**With default nodes, it depends:**\
\
\- With default nodes, you'll already have some pretty good results (buying on block 2 after liquidity on BSC : <https://t.me/LimitSwap/98373>)\
\
\- But if you really want the best speed, and to have a 100% reliable node, yes, we advise you to setup a Private Node.
{% endhint %}

## Should I use a VPS? &#x20;

**YES ! the team recommends you to use a VPS**\
Using a VPS is in our opinion the best way to use Chainsniper, because it is :\
\- Super secure (you start from a clean Windows install)\
\- Super fast (you can choose their location and they have really good internet connection)\
\- Up 24/24\
\
As written above, it's important to have a **VPS close from your node**
