In 2024, Quicknode processed over 3 TRILLION API requests - that’s over 8.2 billion requests every single day. As we close this landmark year, let’s dive into how our platform and community of builders have transformed Web3.

Our builders weren’t just signing up—they were scaling like never before. In 2024, Quicknode processed an incredible 3 trillion+ API requests. That's an average of more than 8.2 billion requests per day.

These requests power everything from real-time blockchain data fetching to complex transaction executions. 99.99% guaranteed uptime combined with speeds 2-5x faster than the competition means scaling with Quicknode is your sure-fire bet for 2025.

In 2024, Quicknode expanded its supported chains portfolio by launching support for 33 new blockchains.

And in 2025, we’re only ramping up. Quicknode is on a two-fold mission with chain access:

1. Give app builders access to every chain they want to build on, all from a single dash.

2. Make it easier than ever for chain builders to launch and scale their chains.

As Quicknode continues to focus on launching access to new and valuable chains, we are proud to say we now support 31 L2 solutions, making Quicknode the #1 provider of Layer 2 infrastructure and solutions in Web3. L2s are critical for scaling blockchain networks by reducing costs and increasing transaction throughput, making them an essential part of any Web3 developer’s toolkit.

One of the most exciting growth areas in 2024 was our Marketplace APIs, which provide specialized solutions for developers to enhance their workflows. We saw over a 100% increase in users adopting at least one Marketplace API.

Among these APIs, the Metis Jupiter Swap API was a standout performer. Designed for Solana traders, this API processed a record number of transactions in 2024, helping users execute swaps efficiently and optimize their trading strategies. Marketplace APIs like Metis and others empower individual developers and enterprises to streamline their operations and improve performance.

At Quicknode, we believe great products need equally great documentation and educational resources to unlock their full potential. In 2024, our content team shipped an impressive array of resources to help you build onchain more efficiently. Here's the year in content:

• 94 Technical Guides: Covering everything from smart contract development to integrating Quicknode APIs.

• 37 Chain Documentation Pages: Ensuring developers have the information they need to succeed on any supported chain.

• 3 Courses: Designed to help both new and experienced developers deepen their Web3 knowledge.

• 12 Sample Apps: Providing real-world examples to kickstart development projects.

• 5 New Documentation Product Pages: Offering detailed guidance on our latest offerings.

• 1 Builder's Guide: An extensive resource with hundreds of pages cataloging the best Web3 APIs and tools to help developers at every stage of their journey.

These resources have been instrumental in helping our community maximize the potential of Quicknode’s products, ultimately leading to better projects and faster development cycles.

Quicknode’s data products gained huge momentum in 2024, providing users with efficient ways to manage and analyze blockchain data.

Our Streams product went GA this year and gained huge traction for enterprises and developers needing top-of-the-line real-time blockchain data. The most popular chain for Streams? Solana. Solana streams users backfilled and filtered historical data and streamed real-time data directly to their data destination.

Speaking of data destinations for Streams, the most popular final destination was Functions, Quicknode’s transformation layer, which allows users to process and analyze data on the fly.

In 2024, Functions were activated over 100 million times, helping users transform raw blockchain data into actionable insights. This combination of continuous streaming and on-the-fly transformation makes Quicknode a powerful partner for any data-driven Web3 project.

And this is just the beginning... cheers to a great year for crypto builders and an even better year ahead!
