GetBlock, a premium RPC node provider, announces a major upgrade to its Shared RPC Node service. Starting July 2025, all Shared Node customers can now select their preferred region when setting up RPC endpoints.
Choose your region: Customizable Shared APIs are now available at GetBlock
As a top-tier global RPC node provider and Web3 infrastructure platform for businesses, GetBlock now enables region selection for Shared Node users.
With this upgrade, users can choose between the EU (Frankfurt, Germany) and the US (New York) as their API server location.
The result? A significant reduction in latency for developers and their end users since the requests from the US no longer need to be routed through the EU, and vice versa.
Vasily Rudomanov, infrastructure veteran and CEO of GetBlock, highlights the significance of regional node access for optimizing dApp performance and availability:
The logic is straightforward and applies equally to both Web2 and Web3: if your users are in the U.S., there’s little sense in routing blockchain data through nodes in Kuala Lumpur or Frankfurt. Latency matters.
Despite this, most RPC node providers restrict regional customization to their premium, dedicated server plans. At GetBlock, we’re changing that. Regional selection - whether EU or U.S. - is now available across all packages.
It’s a crucial step toward maximizing speed, reliability, and user experience for decentralized applications. And this is just the beginning, as more regions and enhancements are on the way.
Most importantly, the new feature is available to all Shared Node users including those on Free plans. No additional setup required as multi-region endpoints already live in your dashboard.
In this initial release, US/EU switching is supported for a select group of the most popular blockchains.
Getting started with US-located API endpoints: Three easy steps
To start sending requests from a specific region (either the US or EU), RPC node users should follow these simple steps:
- Sign in to GetBlock using MetaMask, GitHub, Google, or your email address.
- In the Shared Nodes menu, click “Get”, then select the protocol, network type, and interface.
- (NEW!) In the Region field, choose between USA (New York) and Germany (Frankfurt), then click “Get”.

That’s it. You’re all set!
To avoid confusion, our US-based endpoint URLs use the .us domain (e.g., https://go.getblock.us/42d356e1ee...), while EU-based servers continue to use the familiar .io domain (e.g., https://go.getblock.io/6a24c0c...).
Asian endpoints for Shared Nodes are coming soon.
Need more flexibility? You can always deploy a Dedicated Node in your preferred region.
