GetBlock
GetBlock is tracked as an RPC infrastructure source for Ethereum coverage. Blockchain node API service for shared and dedicated RPC access across major networks
Indexed onlyPublic source profile
Best fit and tradeoffs
Best for
- Shared or dedicated RPC endpoint access
- Provider comparisons for node API coverage
- They need to compare shared and dedicated RPC endpoint options.
- They want public plan evidence for free daily compute units, endpoint count, and RPS.
- They are looking for an RPC alternative to NOWNodes, Chainstack, or Ankr.
Watchouts
- Governance proposal workflows
- Portfolio position enrichment
- Dedicated node needs should be confirmed separately from shared-node API assumptions.
- The fixture centers Ethereum coverage, so broader chain support needs route-level verification before publication claims.
- GetBlock is not an indexed analytics API and should not be used to replace decoded wallet, NFT, or market-data sources.
Why teams choose it
GetBlock provides shared and dedicated blockchain node API access across major networks. Discovery tracks it as Ethereum RPC infrastructure and positions it beside NOWNodes, Chainstack, and Ankr.
Its useful distinction is the shared-versus-dedicated endpoint model with public free and paid rate-limit evidence. Teams can evaluate GetBlock when they need an RPC provider that makes dedicated node access part of the shortlist rather than only a generic shared endpoint.

PubFi gateway status
PubFi gateway not routeable yet
This Discovery source is available for source evaluation and comparison, but PubFi does not publish a production-callable gateway route for it yet. Use this page to compare the provider, signal demand, or start a procurement/integration review instead of attempting a PubFi gateway call.
- PubFi gateway call
- Not published for this source
- Direct gateway examples
- Not available
- Next step
- Request integration or start supplier procurement review
- Do not infer a PubFi gateway path from this Discovery page.
- Use the official provider docs for direct provider integration until a PubFi readiness entry marks this source gateway_available.
- Use the Discovery request or demand-signal CTA to register integration interest with PubFi.
- Supplier procurement, paid-plan approval, and upstream credential setup require explicit review before PubFi can route the source.

Implementation notes
Rate limits
Use the free shared-node quota and paid RPS labels from the fixture when sizing GetBlock workloads.
Coverage
Check whether the target network requires shared RPC, dedicated RPC, or archive support before selecting GetBlock.
Auth
Treat endpoint setup and authentication as normal RPC infrastructure onboarding, not as public unauthenticated access.
Use case candidates
- Prototype RPC reads through shared endpoints
- Compare dedicated node API options
Comparison snapshot
GetBlock compares most directly with NOWNodes for node API access and with Chainstack or Ankr for managed RPC alternatives. Its dedicated-node path is the reason to keep it distinct from pure shared-endpoint providers.
PubFi friction reduction
Endpoint Model
- Source friction
- The fixture describes GetBlock as shared and dedicated blockchain node API access.
- PubFi relief
- Discovery separates shared/dedicated evaluation from live PubFi route status and keeps source alternatives visible.
