Overview​

QuickNode is a blockchain development platform that provides fast, reliable APIs and tools to make building in web3 simple and seamless.

Modern applications are already complex — combining front-end interfaces, back-end services, databases, and APIs. Adding blockchain into the mix introduces new challenges, from managing nodes to handling on-chain data.

QuickNode removes that complexity by offering a unified platform that connects your app to leading blockchain networks in minutes.

Products​

Whether you're an individual or an enterprise, QuickNode's diverse product suite can be used for various operations like blockchain read/write, real-time blockchain notifications, data storage, and decentralized storage.

Core RPC API​

With the QuickNode Core API, you gain access to a globally distributed network of nodes that lets you interact with blockchains without managing your own infrastructure. QuickNode handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on building your application.

The Core API supports both read and write operations through HTTPS and WebSocket endpoints, providing RPC, REST, and gRPC access depending on the blockchain network.

Marketplace​

The QuickNode Marketplace serves two primary roles for the web3 ecosystem, acting as both a comprehensive tool library for developers and a monetization platform for builders.

  • For dApp Developers (Users): It is a one-stop shop to discover and integrate a wide universe of in-house and third-party tools. You can instantly activate powerful add-ons for specialized data, DeFi, MEV protection, analytics, and more, directly on top of your existing QuickNode endpoint.

  • For Web3 Builders (Partners): The Marketplace is a platform to launch, distribute, and monetize your own services. By listing your API or tool as an add-on, you gain immediate access to QuickNode's large community of developers. QuickNode handles the complexities of billing, user management, and distribution, allowing you to focus on your product.

Add-ons can be integrated in several ways, including RPC add-ons (used directly from your endpoint), REST add-ons (custom REST APIs), and External add-ons (standalone products).

Resources​


Webhooks​

Tracking onchain activity requires deep knowledge of the blockchain's data models and robust infrastructure. Ensuring reliability and the lowest latencies requires frequent polling or redundant websocket connections which can be very costly at scale.

Webhooks allow you to receive real-time notifications for onchain events. You can set up expressions to target specific data on the blockchain (e.g., transactions to/from a specific wallet, smart contract events, or even new blocks) or build custom filters to track specific onchain activity.

When your specified event occurs, QuickNode will instantly send a notification (a webhook) to a destination URL you provide, eliminating the need for constant polling.

Resources​


Streams​

Streams makes it simple to capture, process, and deliver historical and real-time blockchain data to your preferred destinations. You can reliably stream on-chain events to webhooks, databases, or messaging systems without manual polling or managing infrastructure.

Streams ensures data consistency, scalability, and guaranteed delivery, so your applications stay up to date with every blockchain event.

Key-Value Store​

Key-Value Store is a robust data storage solution that enables you to manage extensive lists of datapoints, such as millions of wallet addresses, and key-value sets.

It is designed for efficient storage and quick retrieval, integrating seamlessly with QuickNode Streams. This allows you to evaluate your stored lists (e.g., a list of tracked wallets) against real-time blockchain data with high efficiency.

Resources​


Console API​

The Console API allows you to programmatically manage your account and resources via a REST API. This gives you the power to perform actions that you would normally do in the User Dashboard, such as:


  • Creating, managing, and deleting endpoints
  • Retrieving metrics and billing information
  • Managing and rotating API keys
  • Configuring endpoint security features (e.g., whitelisting, JWT authentication)

Resources​


Custom RPC Options​

QuickNode offers custom RPC options designed for enterprise customers who require performance, isolation, and scalability beyond standard shared infrastructure. These solutions are ideal for latency-sensitive applications (e.g., trading) or operations that require a private environment to ensure consistent performance.

Resources​


Zero-Fee Solana Validator​

QuickNode runs a high-performance, public validator on the Solana network, offering a secure way to stake your SOL.

With a 0% commission fee, 100% of all staking rewards, including JITO tips (MEV rewards), are passed directly to you. By delegating your stake to the QuickNode validator, you help support the decentralization and security of the Solana network while maximizing your yield, all backed by QuickNode's industry-leading 100% uptime and reliability.

Resources​


IPFS​

Blockchain storage space is costly, and storing files on the blockchain network could be impractical. That is where decentralized storage protocol like IPFS comes into play. IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a peer-to-peer file storage system.

Files on IPFS are uploaded via IPFS nodes, and when these files are not accessed for a long time or if the node goes down, the file can be lost.

With QuickNode's IPFS pinning service, you can pin your IPFS files without worrying about losing access to your data. You can upload, store, and manage your files anytime, and they will be available anytime you want to access them without running your own IPFS node.

Since IPFS is a protocol, most browsers cannot access the files natively as they work with HTTPS protocol. So, one needs a gateway to access files on IPFS via HTTPS protocol. QuickNode offers IPFS gateways, which you can use to access files from IPFS. With QuickNode, you can create custom domains for your IPFS gateways and create private (can only access files uploaded via QuickNode IPFS pinning) or public (can access any file stored on IPFS) gateways.

QuickNode IPFS pinning can be accessed via both QuickNode dashboard and REST API.

Toolkit​

Apart from proprietary products, the QuickNode team also creates tools to help developers jump-start dApp development.

QuickNode SDK​

QuickNode SDK is an open-source software development kit that makes it easier to interact with QuickNode products and different blockchains.

You can install QuickNode SDK via:

npm i @quicknode/sdk

Resources​


Multi-chain Faucet​

Before deploying the dApps on a main blockchain network, we usually test them on testnets. Developing on testnet requires testnet tokens and what Multi-chain Faucet offers.

You can get testnet tokens for multiple blockchain testnet networks and bonus tokens if you're signed in to your QuickNode account or post a Tweet.

Smart Contract Explorer​

Smart Contract Explorer as the name suggests helps you get valuable data from smart contracts across EVM networks.

With Smart Contract Explorer, you can access smart contracts of popular protocols, smart contract ABIs, smart contract events, deploy alerts for contract events. You can even play with smart contract read and write functions in the Smart Contract Explorer platform. Cherry on the cake is that if you want to interact with these smart contract functions in your codebase, you can get code examples in multiple languages and libraries.

EtherFlow​

EtherFlow is a tool that can be used to compose EVM RPC methods in a visual manner. You can pass your HTTPS or WebSocket endpoint and call the majority of the methods from the EtherFlow dashboard.

You can even get code examples in web3.js and ethers.js.

Resources​


Gas Tracker​

One can track real-time Ethereum gas or priority fees on Solana using Gas Tracker. Ethereum Gas Tracker is powered by Blocknative's Gas Estimation API of QuickNode Marketplace and CoinGecko Price Feed Data API of QuickNode Marketplace.

Solana Priority Fee Tracker is powered by Solana Priority Fees API of QuickNode Marketplace.
