What is Multi-Token Authentication?​

Security is an important part of developing a resilient Web3 application. If the security of your blockchain infrastructure is compromised, it can lead to downtime for your users.

Multi-token authentication lets you create multiple authentication tokens for a single Quicknode endpoint.

Multi-Token Authentication Use Cases​

The ability to create multiple authentication tokens allows developers to have different authentication tokens for each of their dApps without having to run multiple blockchain nodes. Additionally, this will enable you to revoke an individual token that may have been compromised without having to update the non-compromised tokens.

Multi-Token Authentication Walkthrough​

Creating multiple authentication tokens for a single blockchain endpoint is quite simple. Head over to one of your active blockchain nodes on the Quicknode endpoints page and go to the Settings tab, then the Authentication tab. If you don't have an account, you can sign up for a free Quicknode account here.

You can click the Add Token button under the Tokens section to create additional authentication tokens. For HTTP requests, use your endpoint's Base URL and send the chosen token in the x-token request header.

Other Authentication Options on Quicknode​

Quicknode offers several endpoint authentication and access controls. Availability depends on your plan:

  • Token-Based Authentication (with the ability to create multiple authentication tokens)
  • Mutual TLS (mTLS) (Enterprise): require your application to present a trusted client certificate when connecting to your RPC endpoint.
  • JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
  • Referrer Whitelist (set up the hostnames which you wish to whitelist for access to your endpoint)
  • Domain Masking
