📊 Our new State of Web3 Infrastructure H1 2026 report is live! We spent H1 digging through what happened on GetBlock – 208B+ RPC requests across 130+ networks – to see how developers are using blockchains, which networks are gaining traction, how workloads are changing, and what that can tell us about Web3 more broadly. A few things that caught our attention: 🔹 BNB Smart Chain took the #1 spot by RPC request volume in H1 🔹 Archive workloads are growing and taking up a much bigger share of compute 🔹 Streaming is becoming increasingly important for real-time blockchain apps 🔹 Different chains are showing different workload patterns There’s a lot more in the report.

⏳ Sim sunsets in 48 hours Dune is shutting Sim down on August 1 at 9 AM EST. If you are running it in production, requests stop resolving after that. Migrating to GetBlock is one command in your AI coding agent: get docs.getblock.io/migration/migrate-to-getblock-with-ai.md The agent pulls the runbook and works through three phases: • Assess. Scans your codebase for every endpoint, identifies the chain, interface, and methods behind each one, and estimates your cost next to your current bill. • Plan. Writes the exact replacement for each endpoint, flags anything needing your call, then stops. Nothing gets edited yet. • Implement. You approve, it swaps every URL and verifies each one with a live request. Where you land: 130+ chains, free tier to test on, Shared Nodes from $49/mo, Limitless Node with fixed RPS from $150/mo, Dedicated Nodes from $1,000/mo.

🚀 Three new add-ons are live on Dedicated Nodes If you run an EVM dedicated node with us, three new capabilities are now one click away. ⚡ ERC-4337 A bundler runs next to your node and serves the full account abstraction RPC. Smart contract wallets and paymasters, with no bundler of your own to maintain. 🔁 Overlay methods Replay historical blocks against modified contract bytecode and pull logs a contract never emitted. overlay_getLogs, overlay_callConstructor, and block-range tracing. 🔗 Beacon API Consensus layer data from the same node that answers your eth_* calls: validators, slots, epochs, finality. They join our battle-tested add-ons: Blockbook for Bitcoin and other UTXO chains, and MEV for Tier 1 programmable chains. ⚙️ Enable them in Dashboard → Dedicated Nodes → Add-ons. 📖 Full breakdown: https://getblock.io/blog/dedicated-node-add-ons-erc-4337-overlay-beacon-api/

​​⚠️ Retiring 5 Chains from Shared Nodes We're ending Shared Node support for the following networks: • Bahamut • Tenet • Oasis • Nervos • Allora Reach out if you need migration help.

🚀 Shared Node RPS limits are up across every paid plan Same prices, same compute units, more throughput. The new limits are live and already applied to active subscriptions, so there is nothing to migrate and nothing to reconfigure. What changed: ⚡️ Starter: 100 → 250 RPS ⚡️ Growth: 150 → 300 RPS ⚡️ Advanced: 300 → 450 RPS ⚡️ Scale: 400 → 600 RPS ⚡️ Pro: 500 → 800 RPS ⚡️ Premium: 700 → 800 RPS RPS is the limit most teams hit first, during a launch or a volatile hour on the market, long before the monthly compute units run out. Now those spikes clear on the plan you already pay for. Check your plan 👉 getblock.io/pricing Need more than 800 RPS? Dedicated Nodes start at $1,000/mo: getblock.io/dedicated-nodes Predictable high-volume traffic? Limitless Node bills by fixed RPS with no CU metering, and it is now self-serve: getblock.io/limitless-node

🚀 Limitless Node is now self-serve You no longer need to talk to Sales to get one. Open your GetBlock dashboard, click Create New Node, and deploy an isolated RPC endpoint the same way you would a Dedicated Node. What you get: ⚡️ Fixed RPS with unlimited requests, no compute unit billing 🔒 Isolated capacity with dedicated routing 🌐 11 supported chains, full and archive 💸 Up to 7x cheaper than a comparable dedicated setup New this release: Solana now has an entry-level tier starting at 5 RPS, so you can validate a Solana workload without a four-figure bill. Annual billing saves 20%. Deploy your first node 👉 account.getblock.io/limitless-nodes Need 1,000+ RPS or a chain that isn't listed yet? Reach out and we'll scope it: getblock.io/contact

🌙 Midnight Mainnet is now supported on GetBlock. Midnight is a privacy-focused blockchain built for applications where confidentiality and compliance are as important as decentralization. 🔒 What makes Midnight different: •  A hybrid ledger holding public and private data side by side •  Built on Substrate with GRANDPA finality and ~6-second block times •  Smart contracts in Compact, a TypeScript-based language for ZK applications •  Fees paid in DUST, regenerated from held NIGHT – no volatile gas token ⚡️Available on GetBlock today: • Shared Nodes for Mainnet & Testnet • JSON-RPC and WebSocket endpoints • Enterprise-ready infrastructure backed by SOC 2 Type II-attested operational controls Configure a Midnight endpoint from your dashboard: https://getblock.io/nodes/midnight/  📖 Full announcement: https://getblock.io/blog/getblock-adds-midnight-mainnet-support/

🛠 GetBlock RPC Benchmark is live: test any endpoint, free We just shipped a tool the whole RPC market needed. Paste any endpoint URL and get a live speed and reliability report in about 60 seconds: ⚡ p50/p95/p99 latency and jitter 📊 success, error, and timeout rates 🧱 block freshness vs chain head 🏆 overall score out of 100, side by side with GetBlock Every run tests our production infrastructure in real time. No cherry-picked numbers, no lab conditions. If we lose a run, you see it. You can cross-check everything on CompareNodes and our public Grafana dashboard. Works with any provider. Alchemy, dRPC, and NowNodes are already available as one-click templates. Pick your use case (wallet, DEX bot, indexer, NFT marketplace), pick your chain, run the test. Basic checks need no signup. The full PDF report with per-method breakdowns takes a 10-second form. 👉 Try it now: https://getblock.io/rpc-benchmark/ 🔒 You know the drill: never paste private keys or seed phrases anywhere.

💚 Robinhood Chain is live on GetBlock Robinhood's new Layer 2 for tokenized stocks and ETFs opened its mainnet on July 1, and you can already build on it with GetBlock. ⚡ What's under the hood: 🔹 Arbitrum Nitro rollup, ETH for gas, settlement on Ethereum 🔹 ~100ms blocks with arrival-order sequencing 🔹 Stock Tokens: equities and ETFs as ERC-20s, tradable around the clock 🔹 ERC-4337 account abstraction out of the box 🛠 How to connect: 1️⃣ Open the GetBlock dashboard 2️⃣ Get endpoint → Robinhood Chain → Mainnet 3️⃣ Pick JSON-RPC (HTTPS) or WebSocket (WSS) 4️⃣ Paste the URL into your app Free plan included, so you can start experimenting today. 👉 Grab your endpoint: https://getblock.io/nodes/robinhood/

🔧 Shared Node Lineup Adjustment We're trimming our Shared Node coverage to keep capacity on the chains you actually use. Here's what's changing. 🛑 Full deprecation: Botanix, B3, IOTA EVM, Shibarium, Incentiv ⚠️ Partial deprecation: • Immutable zkEVM: testnet deprecated, mainnet still available • Stellar: archive data deprecated, full node still available • Ronin: New York cluster deprecated, Frankfurt still available We reassess supported chains regularly to match current demand. If a change touches your setup, message the team and we'll help you migrate.

Flashblocks are live on GetBlock for Base and Optimism If your setup is latency-sensitive, this one is for you. On Base and Optimism, a full block takes about two seconds. Flashblocks stream preconfirmed pieces of that block several times per second, so the state changes you need show up in as little as 200 ms instead of waiting for the sealed block. That is up to 10x faster, and for trading systems it is the difference between acting on current state and acting on stale state. Nothing to upgrade. Flashblocks are simply a new class of RPC methods now active on your GetBlock endpoints. Covered on both chains: Mainnet and Sepolia, Full and Archive, Shared and Dedicated, over JSON-RPC and WebSockets, with GraphQL also on Optimism. This kicks off our Q3, on top of a strong run lately: SOC 2 Type II, 75% higher CU limits on all Shared plans at the same price, plus Limitless Node and TRON Energy. See the full method list: https://docs.getblock.io/flashblocks/overview
