GetBlock, a top-tier ‘Blockchain-as-a-Service’ platform that supercharges crypto businesses with high-performance node APIs, starts offering Solana (SOL) shared and dedicated nodes.
Solana (SOL) APIs now available for GetBlock’s clients
In Q1, 2022, GetBlock ecosystem released a number of crucial upgrades to unlock unmatched opportunities for our clients. For instance, we released Solana APIs, the endpoints to one of the most eccentric and promising smart contracts platforms.
Both shared and dedicated nodes of Solana blockchain are available through our APIs. GetBlock’s Solana nodes work with 99,95 percent uptime.
Shared nodes of Solana mainnet are available through JSON-RPC method at 1 GBit/sec speed. Dedicated Solana nodes leverage 16-thread CPUs with 64 GB DDR4 RAM and last-generation NVMe SSDs. As such, 1 GBit/sec speed is available for every opened port.
Proposed by Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana (SOL) blockchain harnesses revolutionary Proof-of-History (PoH) consensus which is way more powerful and resource-efficient than mainstream PoS and PoW solutions. Solana’s peak transactional bandwidth exceeds 70,000 transactions per second.
‘Plug-and-play’ BaaS toolkit for Web3 era: What is GetBlock?
With 62 active protocols and almost $7 billion locked in all dApps, Solana is the fifth largest smart contracts platform. Marinade Finance staking protocol, Solend DeFi and Serum DEX are three most popular decentralized applications on Solana.
GetBock offers a convenient and straightforward way to start Solana journey for every dApp: DeFi protocol, on-chain game (‘Play-to-Earn), NFT marketplace or crypto wallet.
The GetBlock platform is attempting to change the narrative in the BaaS sphere by building a ‘one-stop’ ecosystem of instruments for blockchain entrepreneurs, researchers and developers. Besides its nodes API stack with 40+ blockchain supported, it also creates blockchain explorers from scratch, sets up purpose-made node clusters, rolls out archive node infrastructure and so on.
