GetBlock CEO Vasily Rudomanov Interview with BitCourier: Ten Highlights

On September 19, 2025, Vasily Rudomanov, CEO of GetBlock, sat down with BitCourier, a UK-based blockchain media outlet. 

In the interview, Vasily discussed his background, the differences between Web2 and Web3 software businesses, and key accomplishments and upcoming milestones for GetBlock.

The full interview with Vasily Rudomanov was published by BitCourier. 

Here's a quick summary of Vasily's responses.

Background Before Web3 

Over the past 25 years, I've focused on building software products across various IT segments, specializing in cloud infrastructure, cloud-native application orchestration, data storage, and networking across both Web2 and Web3 environments. 

I led product development at Acronis, the Swiss IT company, where we worked on data storage solutions and cloud computing platforms. At our peak, we managed over 1,500 deployments protecting 250 petabytes of data.

Education and Coaching Experience

My most significant academic engagement was lecturing at the Schaffhausen Institute of Technology, now known as Constructor Institute of Technology, a Swiss non-profit university. 

I also founded ITKadr, a global community connecting IT mentors across disciplines from development to marketing and venture capital funding.

Key Differences Between Web2 and Web3

The primary distinction lies in the nature of the data we provide to businesses. In blockchain networks, data remains surprisingly difficult to read and write - a growing pain of this nascent sector. 

Additionally, Web3 product lifecycles differ significantly - from fundraising and achieving product-market fit to token releases, user base growth, and exits.

Biggest Challenge in Web3

Web3 development lacks the detailed documentation, guides, and manuals that we relied upon in Web2. 

Web3 compels you to become an innovator because comprehensive documentation doesn't exist, and clear development paths are rare.

Journey to Joining GetBlock

I joined GetBlock as Chief Product Officer in early December 2024. 

For those unfamiliar, GetBlock ranks among the world's top five RPC node providers. We operate blockchain nodes - full and archive servers containing blockchain data - so our clients don't have to manage this infrastructure themselves. 
We handle deployment, management, and DevOps operations, allowing teams to focus on innovation and revenue generation. (...) I was drawn to the team's talent density and culture, and I wanted to advance and optimize our product development processes. I've been curating this transformation as GetBlock CEO since April 2025.

Early Achievements at GetBlock

We've doubled our supported blockchain networks from 50 to over 100. We completely rebuilt our technical and customer support workflows, achieving industry-leading response times and comprehensiveness. While I can't share specific figures, our operational margins have improved significantly.

We've enhanced node stability, reduced error rates, and dramatically increased connection speeds. We've expanded our server geography to two new regions—Singapore and New York—alongside our Frankfurt data center. We've established a new headquarters in Singapore, optimized our Shared and Dedicated node packages based on competitive analysis, and we're currently launching a new website.

Recent Use Cases: Pursuing Web3 Adaptability

Recently, a client in automated market making required a completely custom Ethereum software client setup—software that validates Ethereum transactions. 

This solution didn't exist. 

Within weeks, we created a custom fork, added the necessary functionality, conducted stress testing, and delivered it to the customer. They now have exclusive market access with this configuration, providing a significant competitive advantage.

Consider another example: a top-tier blockchain security firm with an industry-leading suite of on-chain fraud detection solutions. They required customized Ethereum clients, but no infrastructure company would assist them in deploying these specialized nodes. GetBlock's R&D team not only identified the solution—we deployed dozens of dedicated nodes running these clients, once again positioning our customer miles ahead of their competition.

Future Ambitions for GetBlock

Creating a platform capable of executing any ambitious Web3 initiative. 

While I avoid the overused term "ecosystem," we're building exactly that - a comprehensive ecosystem of services blockchain projects need to launch, grow, scale, and achieve mainstream adoption.

What’s next for Web3?

We'll see increased convergence. First, genuine synergy between AI and Web3 - not the current trend of companies without product-market fit adding AI labels for marketing purposes  - but truly integrated blockchain and large language model data flows within sophisticated products.

Second, convergence between Web2 and Web3 data. Oracles - one of the most promising sectors - will play a crucial role here. If we succeed, there won't be "dApps"—we'll simply call them "apps." That's how mainstream adoption occurs.
