At Quicknode, our mission is to help millions of builders go from genesis to a global audience of billions. We do that by giving you top-tier infrastructure, so it's easier to build better blockchain apps with the best tools available. We keep improving our infrastructure, launching new products, and adding support for more chains.

That's why we're introducing Select Access Chains, a fast expansion of our supported chains that gives Web3 builders more networks and more options.

With Select Access Chains, you can:

• Explore more chains on our platform.

• Get more options as a developer or enterprise.

• Build new apps faster on the newest chains.

Going forward, we'll add new Select Access Chains at the speed you expect from Quicknode. You can try the newest chains, find their unique advantages for onchain development, and reach new audiences with ease.

Here's how Select Access Chains work.

The Evolution of Chain Accessibility at Quicknode

Quicknode's service quality and reliability are backed by major investment in solid infrastructure. Our standard access network gives you easy endpoint creation for the chains our users need most. But keeping that level of access takes significant partnerships and engineering work, especially for chains that don't yet have an established foundation or core team.

In Web3, new chains can appear and take off in minutes. That raised a question: how could we keep Quicknode's high standards for reliability and performance while supporting a large and growing number of networks?

Our infrastructure team answered with Select Access Chains. It lets us scale our infrastructure more efficiently while keeping the quality our users expect.

Select Access: Unlocking a Universe of New Chains

Select Access Chains is a big change in how Quicknode delivers blockchain infrastructure. Think of our standard network as a printing press that prints books ahead of demand. Select Access is more like print-on-demand: it starts up only when someone places an order.

This lets us add support for more chains faster than ever. Whether you're a developer trying the latest blockchain tech or an enterprise deploying on new networks, Select Access Chains opens new opportunities.

How We Determine Select Access Chains

Select Access lets our team support chains that used to be out of reach. Some new chains have unproven demand or limited partnership options, which once made them too risky to invest in. Now we can test a chain's long-term potential and developer demand without waiting for it to mature.

What does this mean for you? Early access to build on new and emerging chains.

Why Select Access Matters for Developers and Enterprises

Developers can quickly connect to more blockchain networks without giving up the reliability and speed Quicknode is known for. More access means more chances to build, test, and deploy on new chains as they launch.

For enterprises, Select Access Chains is a strategic advantage. You can explore new networks with confidence, backed by the same high-performance infrastructure that powers some of the biggest chains in the industry.

How It Works

With Select Access, you pay a monthly access fee to create endpoints for the chains you choose. This lets us offer on-demand infrastructure that grows with the Web3 community, so you can use the chains you need when you need them.

Linea: The First of Many Select Access Chains

Linea is the first chain available through Select Access. As a newly launched chain, Linea offers real potential for developers and enterprises. You can create a Linea endpoint on Quicknode today and start building right away.

This is just the start. We'll add more Select Access Chains in the coming months, so stay tuned.
