+title: "Chainstack Self-Hosted v2.53.0: August 20, 2026"
+description: "Ten new networks join the deployment catalog, including Hyperliquid Mainnet, and snapshot bootstrapping now accepts pre-extracted archives."
+---
+
+This release broadens protocol coverage and improves snapshot-based node bootstrapping.
+
+## More supported networks
+
+You can now deploy ten new networks straight from the new-node flow:
+
+- Base Sepolia, Optimism Sepolia, Zora Sepolia, and Unichain Sepolia — OP-Stack rollup testnets
+- Polygon Amoy — Bor and Heimdall testnet
+- Starknet Sepolia — Pathfinder-based testnet
+- TRON Nile — java-tron testnet
+- Bitcoin Signet and Bitcoin Testnet4 — core bitcoind testnets
+- Hyperliquid Mainnet — completes mainnet coverage alongside the existing Hyperliquid Testnet
+
+See [Supported clients and protocols](/docs/self-hosted/supported-clients-and-protocols) for the full deployment catalog.
+
+## Snapshot bootstrapping
+
+Snapshot-based bootstrapping now accepts an already-unpacked archive as a data source, so nodes that have unpacked snapshot data available can skip the extract step.

 This release adds BNB Smart Chain, Kaia, Ronin, and Hyperliquid as deployment targets, covering six networks in total. BNB Smart Chain and Kaia each run a single execution node across mainnet and testnet, Ronin Saigon runs an OP-Stack rollup that reads its batch data from EigenDA, and Hyperliquid Testnet runs a single node. The Control Panel can now also serve the Grafana monitoring dashboards.

 ### Snapshot bootstrap and storage headroom
 
 <Warning>
-Deployments that bootstrap from a pre-built snapshot — currently Ethereum (all networks), Optimism Mainnet, World Chain (both networks), Blast Mainnet, Mantle (both networks), opBNB (both networks), Arbitrum (both networks), Robinhood Chain (both networks), Sui (both networks), Avalanche Mainnet, Arc Testnet, Sonic Mainnet, Stable (both networks), Berachain (both networks), Cronos (both networks), and BNB Smart Chain (both networks) — temporarily require about **2× the steady-state storage**. The node downloads the snapshot archive and then extracts it into the chain data directory, so both copies coexist on disk until extraction completes. Provision the node's persistent volume at this peak; you can keep it sized for headroom afterward. Deployments that sync without a snapshot do not have this peak.

 Tempo (both networks) also bootstraps from a snapshot, but its client downloads and extracts the archive within the storage figures already listed in the catalog, so it needs no extra headroom for the bootstrap.
