GetBlock Announces Akash Network RPC Support

GetBlock adds Akash Network RPC node access

GetBlock has integrated Akash Network into its managed RPC platform, bringing straightforward, low-friction access to Akash’s decentralized cloud marketplace.

TL;DR

GetBlock is providing managed on-chain RPC access to the Akash mainnet with:

Ready-to-use JSON-RPC and REST endpoints within the Shared Node service

Dedicated infrastructure with isolated capacity, configurable parameters, and multi-regional deployment

Full and archive Akash node access within both services

Akash RPC access is managed through the GetBlock dashboard. Add Akash endpoints to your account.

Akash RPC nodes live on GetBlock

The Akash Network joins the portfolio of blockchains supported by GetBlock’s shared and dedicated infrastructure.

GetBlock’s Shared Nodes service is ideal for teams that want reliable Akash access with minimal setup. JSON-RPC and REST endpoints are immediately available from the user dashboard for both full node and archive node queries.

For applications that need isolation or custom tuning, GetBlock offers dedicated full and archive Akash nodes deployable across New York, Frankfurt, and Singapore. Users can fine-tune capacity and performance on dedicated setups, aligning Akash infrastructure with their scaling and compliance requirements.

With this integration, GetBlock users can now connect to the blockchain without running and maintaining their own Akash nodes.

How to get an Akash RPC endpoint

To get started, sign in to your GetBlock dashboard, enable Akash access, and begin using the JSON-RPC and REST endpoints:

Navigate to Shared Nodes in your dashboard and select "Get endpoint"

Choose Akash from the protocol list

Optionally toggle on the Archive Mode for complete historical access

Generate JSON-RPC and REST Akash RPC URLs tied to your access token

Shared endpoints are served from GetBlock's Frankfurt cluster at launch and come with defined rate limits based on your plan tier. Two free Akash endpoints are included for all signed in users.

Getting started with Akash dedicated nodes

To provision a private node, request an Akash dedicated setup from your GetBlock dashboard or via the sales team, choosing:

Deployment location (Frankfurt, New York, Singapore)

Node type (full or archive)

Any custom parameters

After deployment, GetBlock provides an isolated Akash node with private endpoints.

Within this service, GetBlock also offers more tailored solutions, including SLA customization, node clusters, custom builds, and specialized engineering support. Reach out to discuss your specific Akash infrastructure needs.

What is Akash?

Akash is a decentralized cloud-compute marketplace built on the Cosmos SDK and CometBFT (Tendermint) that connects compute providers with clients through an on-chain marketplace. Its model makes decentralized, often lower-cost compute available for containerized workloads and specialized tasks like GPU-based ML training.

Akash continues to evolve rapidly. Recent network upgrades have modernized the core stack and developer experience, strengthening the chain’s capabilities for marketplace and compute orchestration.

GetBlock, providing managed RPC access to Akash, removes a major friction point for teams that want to build on or integrate with the network.
