About QuickNode
QuickNode sells multi-chain node and on-chain data access to developers, covering more than 80 chains and 130 networks with full and archive nodes. One API key reaches RPC, real-time event streams and historical backfills without running infrastructure, and enterprise buyers can take dedicated clusters with reserved throughput and SLAs. Requests are metered in credits weighted by method, with calls such as eth_call costing more and overage tiered; upper layers add SQL querying, wallet and asset APIs and low-latency market data plus transaction broadcast, with archive data reaching back to genesis and requests routed to the nearest edge node.
It positions itself as the access layer between applications and chains, serving wallets, exchanges, DeFi protocols and market makers. Where Infura leans Ethereum and Alchemy leans developer tooling, QuickNode covers non-EVM networks including Bitcoin, TRON, TON and Hyperliquid more fully and holds SOC 1, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 together.
QuickNode, founded in 2017, has evolved from a blockchain API provider into a comprehensive Web3 infrastructure platform. Its key milestones include joining Y Combinator in 2021, which accelerated early growth, and subsequent funding rounds: a seed round led by 776 and SoftBank, a $35M Series A led by Tiger Global, and a $60M round led by 50T that expanded its global footprint. A strategically significant move was the launch of a $65 million Layer 2 accelerator in 2024, backed by Google and Coinbase Ventures, aimed at fostering L2 ecosystems. This initiative, alongside its Core API supporting 80+ chains, positions QuickNode as a critical infrastructure layer for the onchain economy, enabling developers to build scalable dApps with enterprise-grade reliability.
Quicknode shipped heavily in the first quarter of 2026: Hypercore data for Hyperliquid went into public beta on January 20, MegaETH mainnet support arrived on February 9, ChainKit for chains launched on February 11, and on February 17 x402 went live so developers and AI agents could pay per request in USDC on Base, Solana or Polygon across more than 130 networks; Tempo, incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, was added on March 18.
A block explorer, the Titan aggregation API and a dedicated Monad validator also shipped, with a zero-commission Solana validator; on compliance the company completed SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II recertification and obtained ISO 27001, adding endpoint logs and role-based access control for enterprise accounts. The network handled about 5 trillion requests in 2025, and the first quarter of 2026 extended the platform from RPC into chain launching, data pipelines and agent payments. In November 2025 the brand changed from QuickNode to Quicknode as the product range widened from RPC to a full blockchain platform, and the 2026 release cadence continued that shift. Pay-per-request lowers the barrier for agents but changes the billing unit from subscription to call count, and reconciliation with it.
QuickNode keeps RPC as the base while expanding into onchain data, chain issuance and agentic payments, and uses ChainKit and the explorer to win new chains early in their life cycle.
