Belgrade, Serbia, September 27th, 2024 – Coinscribble by Coinbound / GetBlock, a premium RPC node provider and Web3 infrastructure platform, streamlines development in crypto and makes it more cost-efficient for builders on all blockchains.
GetBlock offers RPC nodes for all mainstream blockchains
Launched in 2019, GetBlock is one of the largest and most popular RPC node providers in Web3. It offers ready-made endpoints for cryptocurrency applications connecting them to full and archive nodes.
Blockchain node is a server with installed and configured software (node client) that is synchronized with its peers. Blockchain nodes are responsible for transaction validation as well as for the storage and verification of the data about blocks, accounts, transfers, i.e. everything that happens in decentralized networks.
Reliable and fast connection to blockchain nodes is essential for every software that somehow works with cryptocurrency, i.e. centralized and decentralized exchanges, crypto wallets, NFT marketplaces, Web3 games, trading bots, analytical platforms, and so on.
Meanwhile, running a blockchain node is a challenging task that requires specific DevOps skills, 24/7 monitoring, significant hardware and software resources. As such, for the vast majority of Web3 teams, running own blockchain nodes remains cost-ineffective in 2024.
To address these challenges, GetBlock deploys and maintains full and archive blockchain nodes and then offers connection to them via RPC API endpoints. Instead of doing the legwork themselves, blockchain teams can just sign up to GetBlock, claim their endpoints to RPC nodes (they look just like regular URLs), integrate these addresses into applications, and start interacting with blockchain nodes.
Free Web3 infrastructure stack for developers
GetBlock connects crypto apps to over 50 blockchains including majors like Bitcoin or Ethereum, mainstream L2 solutions Optimism and Arbitrum, zkEVM blockchains Linea, Polygon zkEVM, zkSync, trending non-programmable networks like Litecoin or Dogecoin.
All blockchains can be accessed via numerous API interfaces including the likes of WebSockets (WS), JSON RPC, gRPC, GraphQL, and so on.
GetBlock offers shared and dedicated nodes. Shared nodes represent a low-cost solution: their users share computational resources with the peers while dedicated nodes are deployed by demand specifically for this or that app.
In the shared node module, GetBlock offers limited (starting from 5 mln requests) and unlimited (for 1 to 12 months). For shared node plans, GetBlock offers the highest throughput amidst all major competitors.
At the same time, GetBlock offers a wide range of free services for early-stage developers and researchers. First, free RPC nodes are available on GetBlock: every user can send 40,000 requests for free in 24 hours. Then, GetBlock runs explorers for NEAR Protocol, BNB Smart Chain, and other major programmable blockchains with smart contracts. Also, GetBlock created a free Web3 glossary that indexes hundreds of most crucial apps for every segment in Web3.
In 2023, GetBlock scored World Future Award 2023 for Best Blockchain-as-a-Service Platform. It also was the first Web3 infrastructure service that enabled authorization via MetaMask and GitHub to minimize the amount of information required to sign up. To start using GetBlock, customers don’t even need to share e-mail addresses and credit card info.
GetBlock accepts fiat and crypto as payment instruments. Its users are always welcome to share the feedback with the 24/7 online customer support unit.
Wrapping up, GetBlock is a modern Web3 infrastructure service that connects crypto apps to blockchains via RPC APIs. It supports 50+ blockchains and significantly streamlines the process of building in Web3.
