GetBlock adds Arbitrum Nova RPC support

GetBlock starts operating Arbitrum Nova mainnet nodes, at launch hosted in Frankfurt, a major region with low latency, ensuring reliable access.

Vasily Rudomanov, GetBlock CEO, introduces the blockchain to the platform's audience:

Arbitrum Nova is a very special addition to our stack of supported networks. Simply put, it is a faster and more flexible spin-off of Arbitrum, a pioneer of commercial L2 scaling in EVM. With its own data logistics specifics, Arbitrum Nova will for sure be a platform of choice for apps interested in competitive speed and cost-efficiency.

Developers can access Arbitrum Nova RPC infrastructure through GetBlock's two core services.

Shared Nodes offer ready-to-use Arbitrum Nova RPC endpoints accessible via JSON-RPC (HTTPS) and WSS API. With multiple plans available – from free access up to the Enterprise plan – the service can handle a variety of workloads, from small-scale development to moderate production use. This model lets GetBlock users integrate a new chain in minutes via the dashboard.

Within a Dedicated Node service, customers can set up a private Arbitrum Nova infrastructure with the highest throughput guarantees and expert assistance from the infra team. The service is tailored for high-load, mission-critical, or highly customized deployments.

What is Arbitrum Nova?

Arbitrum Nova is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 network in the Arbitrum ecosystem optimized for very cheap, high-frequency transactions.

It uses Arbitrum’s AnyTrust design: instead of putting all transaction data on Ethereum like Arbitrum One, Nova relies on a Data Availability Committee (DAC). This makes transactions significantly cheaper while still inheriting security from Ethereum under normal operation.

Because of its design, Nova is positioned for gaming, social apps, content, and microtransaction-heavy dApps, where fee sensitivity and UX matter the most.

GetBlock’s role is to provide the RPC backbone, so these Nova-native apps can operate predictably at scale.

Three steps to connect to Arbitrum Nova API with GetBlock

Select "Get endpoint" and choose Arbitrum from the blockchain options

Under the Network selector, find and choose “Nova”

Select the API type (JSON-RPC or WebSocket)
