Quicknode

March 25, 2026 — 3 min read

Blockchain data has always been the awkward part of automation stacks. You'd set up a webhook, write a custom script, schedule a cron job, and then maintain all of it as your infrastructure grew.

Quicknode is now available as a native, purpose-built node on n8n: the open-source workflow automation platform used by hundreds of thousands of developers and technical teams worldwide. No HTTP workaround. No custom node setup. Just search "Quicknode RPC" in the node panel, connect your API key, and start building.

Why Native Matters

Most blockchain data integrations in n8n have relied on the generic HTTP Request node, which works, but puts all the configuration burden on you. You're writing raw JSON-RPC payloads, managing auth headers, and mapping responses manually.

The Quicknode node handles all of that. Methods are pre-built, inputs are structured, and outputs drop cleanly into the rest of your workflow. For teams who already live inside n8n, it means on-chain data becomes as easy to work with as any other data source.

And for teams evaluating automation tooling: Quicknode is the first blockchain infrastructure provider with a dedicated node on n8n. If you've been connecting to other RPC providers through workarounds, this is the cleaner path.

What's Available

The Quicknode node covers the most common on-chain operations out of the box, with an escape hatch when you need to go further:

• Get Balance — Query any wallet balance across any supported chain

• Get Block / Get Block Number — Retrieve block data by hash or height

• Get Transaction / Get Transaction Receipt — Look up transactions and execution outcomes

• Get Transaction Count — Check nonce or activity for any address

• Get Code — Inspect smart contract bytecode

• Get Gas Price / Estimate Gas — Monitor gas conditions and cost-estimate before execution

• Call — Run read-only contract calls without broadcasting

• Custom RPC — Access any RPC method directly, for full flexibility

All of this works across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BSC, and Avalanche, with more chains coming soon.

Was Sie bauen können

The integration is useful across a range of workflows that previously required custom backend code:

Wallet & Balance Monitoring — Set up a scheduled workflow to track wallet balances across chains. When a threshold is crossed, automatically route an alert to Slack, Telegram, Discord, or email.

Onchain Data Pipelines — Poll for new blocks or transactions on a schedule and pipe structured data into PostgreSQL, Google Sheets, or a data warehouse. Build analytics workflows without writing backend code.

Gas-Aware Triggers — Watch gas prices on a schedule and trigger downstream actions when conditions are met. Notify your team, log for trend analysis, or queue a transaction for submission.

Multi-Chain Aggregation — Pull balances and activity across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and other networks in a single workflow. Consolidate into dashboards or reports that automatically stay current.

Onchain AI Agents — n8n has become a serious platform for AI agent orchestration. Combine Quicknode's blockchain data with AI nodes to build agents that read on-chain state, reason over it, and take action, all within a visual workflow. No custom infrastructure required.

Erste Schritte

Open any n8n workflow, search for Quicknode RPC in the node panel, and connect your Quicknode API key. That's it.
