Network Support Update

We're discontinuing support for three blockchain networks:

📅 Effective date: September 15, 2026

If you use any of these networks, please migrate your endpoints before this date.

💧 Sui archival gRPC is live, and Dedicated Nodes now run our native Sui indexer

JSON-RPC is off. Sui Foundation disabled it on mainnet full nodes the week of July 27, and code removal lands mid-October. gRPC is the path forward, and the archive runs through the same LedgerService interface a full node exposes, so you swap the endpoint URL and keep your client code.

Where Sui archive runs at GetBlock:
🖥 Dedicated: our native Sui indexer (optional), single-tenant, unlimited RPS, from $1,500/mo
📦 Shared: archival gRPC via the archive mode toggle on every paid plan from Starter up, 2x CU on archive calls
⏳ Limitless: Sui archive support is coming

Why the indexer matters for cost: the alternative is running Sui's Bigtable-backed archival store yourself.

Starter is 50% off for the first three months, through September 21.

👉 Configure a dedicated Sui https://account.getblock.io/dedicated-nodes
📖 Read the announcement: https://getblock.io/blog/sui-archive-node-grpc/

🟢 Robinhood Chain archive is live

Archive data on Robinhood Chain is now available across all three node tiers:

📦 Shared: archive mode is a toggle at endpoint creation, on every paid plan from Starter up
⚡️ Limitless Node: fixed RPS, no Compute Unit metering, archive from $150/mo
🖥 Dedicated: single-tenant archive, unlimited RPS, your choice of region

Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum Orbit L2, chain ID 4663, mainnet live since July 1.

Two offers are still running, both closing September 21:

> Starter at $25/mo for the first three months
> Robinhood Chain dedicated full node at $999/mo, down from $1,600

🎙 Live from Borneo

Our CEO Vasily just wrapped his session at Startup Village Borneo in Kuching, Sarawak.

The subject was distribution as the only moat in the AI era, and it is not a comfortable one for a room full of founders.

When a competitor can rebuild your product over a weekend, the hard problem moves downstream. Which channels can you actually get access to. Who ever hears about you. How the thing you built finds its way to the people it was built for.

Thanks to Superteam Malaysia for the stage and for putting the whole week together 🙌

Vasily is on the ground for the full event, 5 to 9 September.

If you are building something and want a second read on your go-to-market, message him directly: @GetVasily

🛡️ Crypto AML is live

Before you accept funds, you can now check where they came from.

Paste a wallet address or a transaction hash into your GetBlock account and read the report in seconds.

What comes back:
🔹 A risk score from 0 to 100, banded Low, Medium, High, Very high
🔹 Exposure breakdown: sanctions, mixers, darknet, scams, and the counterparty types behind them
🔹 Owner and cluster attribution, where we can establish it
🔹 PDF export and a stored check history for your case files

Networks at launch: Ethereum, TRON, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash. Solana, Arbitrum and Optimism are next.

Check your funds:
🔹 Dashboard, no code or REST API, one POST per check: https://account.getblock.io/products/aml-check
🔹 Docs: https://docs.getblock.io/crypto-aml/run-check-via-api
🔹 Full announcement: https://getblock.io/blog/crypto-aml-launch/

Both run on your existing prepaid balance. No KYB, no annual contract, no onboarding call.

📊 Our new State of Web3 Infrastructure H1 2026 report is live!

We spent H1 digging through what happened on GetBlock – 208B+ RPC requests across 130+ networks – to see how developers are using blockchains, which networks are gaining traction, how workloads are changing, and what that can tell us about Web3 more broadly.

A few things that caught our attention:

🔹 BNB Smart Chain took the #1 spot by RPC request volume in H1
🔹 Archive workloads are growing and taking up a much bigger share of compute
🔹 Streaming is becoming increasingly important for real-time blockchain apps
🔹 Different chains are showing different workload patterns

There’s a lot more in the report.

⏳ Sim sunsets in 48 hours

Dune is shutting Sim down on August 1 at 9 AM EST. If you are running it in production, requests stop resolving after that.

Migrating to GetBlock is one command in your AI coding agent:

get docs.getblock.io/migration/migrate-to-getblock-with-ai.md

The agent pulls the runbook and works through three phases:

• Assess. Scans your codebase for every endpoint, identifies the chain, interface, and methods behind each one, and estimates your cost next to your current bill.

• Plan. Writes the exact replacement for each endpoint, flags anything needing your call, then stops. Nothing gets edited yet.

• Implement. You approve, it swaps every URL and verifies each one with a live request.

Where you land: 130+ chains, free tier to test on, Shared Nodes from $49/mo, Limitless Node with fixed RPS from $150/mo, Dedicated Nodes from $1,000/mo.

🚀 Three new add-ons are live on Dedicated Nodes
If you run an EVM dedicated node with us, three new capabilities are now one click away.

⚡ ERC-4337
A bundler runs next to your node and serves the full account abstraction RPC. Smart contract wallets and paymasters, with no bundler of your own to maintain.

🔁 Overlay methods
Replay historical blocks against modified contract bytecode and pull logs a contract never emitted. overlay_getLogs, overlay_callConstructor, and block-range tracing.

🔗 Beacon API
Consensus layer data from the same node that answers your eth_* calls: validators, slots, epochs, finality.

They join our battle-tested add-ons: Blockbook for Bitcoin and other UTXO chains, and MEV for Tier 1 programmable chains.

⚙️ Enable them in Dashboard → Dedicated Nodes → Add-ons.

​​⚠️ Retiring 5 Chains from Shared Nodes

We're ending Shared Node support for the following networks:

• Bahamut
• Tenet
• Oasis
• Nervos
• Allora

Reach out if you need migration help.

🚀 Shared Node RPS limits are up across every paid plan

Same prices, same compute units, more throughput. The new limits are live and already applied to active subscriptions, so there is nothing to migrate and nothing to reconfigure.

What changed:
⚡️ Starter: 100 → 250 RPS
⚡️ Growth: 150 → 300 RPS
⚡️ Advanced: 300 → 450 RPS
⚡️ Scale: 400 → 600 RPS
⚡️ Pro: 500 → 800 RPS
⚡️ Premium: 700 → 800 RPS

RPS is the limit most teams hit first, during a launch or a volatile hour on the market, long before the monthly compute units run out. Now those spikes clear on the plan you already pay for.

Check your plan 👉 getblock.io/pricing

Need more than 800 RPS? Dedicated Nodes start at $1,000/mo: getblock.io/dedicated-nodes

Predictable high-volume traffic? Limitless Node bills by fixed RPS with no CU metering, and it is now self-serve: getblock.io/limitless-node
