GetBlock adds support for Bitlayer, an EVM-compatible Bitcoin L2

GetBlock is the Web3 infrastructure platform that gives developers and businesses instant, reliable RPC API access to 100+ blockchains via managed nodes – now including Bitlayer.

Access to Bitlayer RPC nodes is available through GetBlock’s complete suite of node products — Shared Nodes and Dedicated Nodes. 

Shared Nodes offer core APIs for interacting with Bitlayer via JSON-RPC and WebSocket interfaces. Archive mode is enabled for Bitlayer Shared Node endpoints for historical state queries. 

GetBlock’s Dedicated Nodes, full and archive, deliver single-tenant performance for high-stakes Bitlayer applications like exchanges, DeFi protocols, or data platforms. With exclusive hardware, unlimited concurrency, and custom SLAs, they’re built to scale to peak loads. ​

Both services are managed using the GetBlock dashboard. Endpoints and nodes can be deployed near users in Frankfurt, New York, and Singapore data centers, providing a low-latency service.

Rate-limited access to Bitalyer API is available to GetBlock’s free tier users as well.

Key properties:

In short, Bitlayer builds towards the future of Bitcoin DeFi, blending BTC's unmatched security with Ethereum-like programmability. 

By offering RPC endpoints and dedicated node deployments, GetBlock steps in to remove friction for teams building analytics, wallets, explorers, and realtime apps on Bitlayer.

How to connect to Bitlayer API in under a minute

GetBlock’s Shared Nodes service is tailored for immediate API access. Provision Bitlayer RPC endpoints from the GetBlock dashboard's Shared Nodes section in five quick steps: 

Connecting to Bitlayer feels like working with any other EVM chain: plug the provided endpoint into wallets, SDKs, and middleware already used for Ethereum-compatible networks, simply swapping in Bitlayer’s chain ID (200901) and RPC URL. 

Shared Node pricing starts with the free plan and grows with usage – refer to the GetBlock pricing page for different plan specifics.

Scaling with Dedicated Bitlayer nodes

Dedicated nodes service by GetBlock is recommended for Bitlayer applications and services with strict availability and throughput requirements.
