Blast API

Blast API by Bware Labs is a Web3 infrastructure platform designed to address common issues of blockchain node reliability and latency. It achieves this by leveraging a multi-region architecture that routes user requests to the geographically closest node, reducing latency and improving uptime. The platform uses a network of third-party full nodes distributed globally, which enhances decentralization and resilience compared to centralized RPC providers. Blast supports multiple major blockchain networks, enabling developers to generate dedicated API endpoints (RPC, WebSocket, REST) quickly after registering with a Web3 wallet such as MetaMask or WalletConnect.

Blast’s architecture includes clustering and geo-location mechanisms to optimize request routing. This ensures that dApp developers and enterprises can rely on consistent and performant blockchain access without managing their own nodes. The platform offers a free tier with request limits and paid subscription plans for higher usage, with payments accepted in stablecoins for transparent budgeting. Node providers can register their nodes on Blast, subject to performance and hardware requirements, and participate in an incentivization model that rewards them with a share of subscription fees.

A unique feature of Blast is its staking mechanism, where node providers can create staking pools by locking INFRA tokens to earn APY rewards. Token holders can delegate their tokens to these pools, supporting network performance and earning commissions. This staking protocol incentivizes node operators to maintain high-quality infrastructure. Blast’s documentation provides detailed guides on API usage, node registration, staking, and supported chains, making it accessible for developers and node operators alike. Getting started involves wallet-based registration, endpoint generation, and optionally upgrading plans or becoming a node provider.
