What are Infrastructure Tools?
Infrastructure Tools encompass the foundational services and software that enable developers to build, deploy, and interact with blockchain networks. This category includes node providers, RPC (Remote Procedure Call) services, blockchain platforms, development frameworks, and protocol implementations. These tools provide reliable access to blockchain data, facilitate transaction submission, and support smart contract development and testing. Primary users are developers and product teams who need scalable, secure, and performant access to blockchain networks without managing their own nodes. Key characteristics include high availability, low latency, compatibility with multiple chains or protocols, and support for developer workflows. Subcategories often include node infrastructure, API services, and blockchain frameworks. Developers should consider Infrastructure Tools when they require dependable blockchain connectivity, want to reduce operational overhead, or need standardized development environments.
