Where GetBlock is headed in 2025 and beyond – Highlights from BitCourier interview

Our CEO, Vasily Rudomanov, sat down for the interview with BitCourier. He discusses differences between Web2 and Web3 product models, the convergence of AI and Web3, as well as GetBlock’s product direction and recent progress.

The short take: we’re doubling down on reliability, growing reach, and bespoke infrastructure services – all that matters to businesses building on-chain.

We’re building a platform capable of executing any ambitious Web3 initiative.

New chain integration: GetBlock now supports Zilliqa 2.0

GetBlock lists Zilliqa among supported chains and provides RPC node access.

Zilliqa completed its 2.0 rollout mid-2025, a protocol overhaul that adds a native EVM execution layer. With this rework, Zilliqa, a pioneer of sharding, also introduces a redesigned modular shard model and improves finality and block-time behaviour to support high-throughput and EVM-native dApps.

RPC access to the upgraded Zilliqa network is now available through the GetBlock platform, offered as:

Dedicated node deployment: Request a Dedicated node deployment in New York (US), Frankfurt (EU), and Singapore (Asia) from the dashboard; our team will schedule a private Zilliqa node provisioning.

Shared node endpoints: GetBlock users can create JSON-RPC and WebSocket Zilliqa endpoints from their dashboard. At launch, Shared Zilliqa APIs are live in EU (Frankfurt).

Zilliqa RPC API setup via GetBlock dashboard

If you need a bespoke custom configuration for a dedicated deployment, open a support ticket, and we’ll scope the work with you.

Celo transitions to Sepolia – GetBlock adds testnet support

GetBlock now supports Celo Sepolia, the network’s new testnet environment designed to replace the legacy Alfajores setup. This addition extends GetBlock’s existing Celo mainnet RPC coverage.

Celo JSON-RPC API setup from the GetBlock dashboard

Celo Sepolia endpoints are available via JSON-RPC and WebSocket, and can be provisioned directly from the GetBlock dashboard. The service launches across all regions, including New York, Frankfurt, and Singapore.

Node client updates (Base, Solana)

We track upstream client releases closely and roll relevant upgrades across our fleet. This month’s important client notes:

Base (base/node v0.12.8): Includes Reth v1.6.0 with a critical fix to debug_traceTransaction.

Solana (Agave v2.3.7): Stability and networking fixes that improve Solana node reliability under high load.

We already rolled these upstream changes into our managed services where applicable.

What we’re building next

Looking ahead, the team is preparing meaningful updates around dedicated infrastructure, new data-access capabilities, and tools. Stay tuned – October’s shaping up to be a busy one.

Thanks for reading and thanks for building with us.
