The Stack NEAR Builders Ship On

Quicknode is a leading NEAR RPC provider, serving NEAR over low-latency JSON-RPC from 17+ global regions with a 99.99% uptime SLA. You get a private endpoint in seconds, full archive access, and support from engineers, on a platform that handles 500B+ requests a month across 80+ chains.

NEAR is a high-performance, sharded Layer-1 blockchain designed for low fees and fast finality using Nightshade sharding. It uses human-readable account names and a JSON-RPC API rather than the EVM, and you access it through a Quicknode NEAR RPC endpoint.

Create a free Quicknode account, select NEAR, and a private RPC URL is generated instantly. You get HTTPS and WSS endpoints on NEAR mainnet and testnet, with rate limits that scale with your plan. No credit card is required for the free tier.

A NEAR node syncs the network and answers JSON-RPC requests. Running your own means managing hardware, sync, and archive storage. Quicknode runs it for you: call a managed NEAR endpoint with full archive data and complete method coverage, and skip the infrastructure.

Quicknode supports the full NEAR JSON-RPC, including the query request for accounts and view functions (view_account, view_state, call_function), block and chunk reads, transaction status and broadcast (send_tx, टेक्सास, EXPERIMENTAL_tx_status), gas_price, प्रमाणकों, and experimental methods, over HTTPS and WSS.

Yes. Quicknode provides full NEAR archive access with no pruning, so you can read historical accounts, state, blocks, chunks, and receipts back to genesis. It is built for indexers, explorers, and analytics that need complete history.

No. NEAR is not EVM compatible. It uses its own runtime, human-readable accounts, and a JSON-RPC API instead of the Ethereum Virtual Machine and eth_ methods. You build with near-api-js and the NEAR CLI and query through a Quicknode NEAR endpoint. If you need Solidity, the separate Aurora EVM runs on top of NEAR.

Quicknode supports NEAR mainnet and testnet, both with archive access over HTTPS and WSS.

Quicknode serves NEAR from 17+ global regions with automatic routing, a 99.99% uptime SLA, and a platform that handles 500B+ requests a month. Low-latency reads and reliable transaction broadcasting keep dApps and indexers responsive under load.

Quicknode has a free NEAR tier with no credit card required, then paid plans that scale with request volume, rate limits, and features like archive access. Enterprise plans add a 99.99% uptime SLA, dedicated support, and volume pricing.
