GetBlock February 2026 Dev Update: SOC 2 Type I, 2FA, CU Pricing Update, Add-ons Marketplace

Hey folks, hope your February shipped a lot and only a little burned. We at GetBlock kept heads down on infrastructure, security, and did a pretty significant overhaul of Dedicated Nodes, including the launch of Add-ons Marketplace. Plus, Online Sessions kept going strong.

Here's what happened at GetBlock in February and what it means for our users.

TL;DR

The full breakdown below.

SOC 2 Type I: Passed

GetBlock has successfully completed its SOC 2 Type I audit with Atom Assurances.

SOC 2 Type I is an independent security audit that verifies a service organization's controls are properly designed to meet the Trust Service Criteria at a specific point in time. This covers areas like security, availability, and confidentiality of customer data.

We know that for teams evaluating infrastructure providers, compliance posture matters. This is part of us taking that seriously. SOC 2 Type II, which covers how controls perform over a sustained period, is currently in progress.

Dedicated Node updates: Add-ons, new UX

This was the biggest product push of the month. Dedicated Nodes got several updates that together make a pretty meaningful difference in how you manage things.

Reworked UI

The Dedicated Nodes area in your account has been rebuilt from the ground up. 

Dedicated nodes now live on their own tab in the left-side menu. Each node gets its own page, giving quick access to:

If you've got multiple nodes running, this alone makes life easier.

Updated node Configurator

The new dedicated server deployment flow got a rework too: 

Addons Marketplace

This is the new one – we've launched an Add-ons Marketplace for dedicated nodes. Some add-ons that provide extra functionality on top of your node are available right now:

You can either buy an add-on together with a new node or add it later to an existing subscription. Add-on charges are joined with the node subscription for one coherent bill. 

The marketplace is just getting started. We've got a solid pipeline of add-ons in development and plan to expand the catalog significantly over the coming months. So if there's something specific you'd want to see, let us know.

CU pricing update

Effective February 12, 2026, we recalibrated our Compute Unit (CU) costs for the Shared Node service. 

The update applies only to select blockchain networks, including Arbitrum Nova, Immutable zkEVM, Zilliqa, Berachain, Monad, SEI, Ronin, Celo, Taiko, Flare, Stacks, Midnight, and IOTA, among others.

For those newer to GetBlock: Compute Units (CUs) are how we measure the actual resource consumption behind each RPC request. Different methods on different chains have different infrastructure costs. CUs let us price things based on real resource consumption rather than treating every request the same.

As chains evolve, the actual cost of serving them shifts. This update brings our CU pricing in line with where things stand today across the affected networks.

Take a minute to review the updated CU table for your chain to make sure your cost estimates are aligned. For a quick overview of CUs included in each Shared Node plan, see our pricing page. 

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) live

Pretty straightforward one – we added Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to the dashboard to make account logins safer.

Haven't set it up yet? Go to Security Settings inside your dashboard, scan a QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, whatever you use), save your recovery codes somewhere safe, and you're done.

It's optional, but there's no good reason not to have it on. 

API Gateway: Rolling out to production

This one is less flashy but probably worth understanding if you care about what's happening at the infrastructure level.

In February, we started a gradual rollout of a new API Gateway layer into our production environment. Think of it as the new traffic control center that sits between incoming RPC requests and our node infrastructure. It handles routing, rate limiting, billing logic, failover – all the plumbing that determines how a request gets from your app to the right node, reliably and efficiently.

Why does this matter? Because having that layer as a proper, flexible system opens up a lot of doors for what we can build on top of it. More intelligent failovers, better observability, and new product features. You won't notice much difference today, but this is the kind of foundational work that makes the next 6–12 months of product development possible.

Node updates

We keep a close eye on client releases across the networks we support. In the list below, we highlight some high-priority upgrades:

GetBlock Online Sessions: February recap

Earlier this year, we launched GetBlock Online Sessions – a recurring series of live events where we (and sometimes partners and guest speakers) cover topics relevant to Web3 developers, infrastructure teams, and anyone building in the space. 

The format varies – technical deep-dives, panel discussions, recaps from industry events. The goal is pretty simple: make useful content accessible and give our team, partners, and builders a regular place to swap notes.

Throughout February, we ran and participated in four sessions:

Recaps, slides, and informal follow-ups happen in the GetBlock Telegram and X communities – worth joining if you're not in there already.

March 2026 lineup: How institutions integrate crypto & Hard lessons from production infra

Two sessions already on our Luma calendar. Both are worth your time.

Wrapping up

And that was February. We’ve got more infra work, product polish, and launches in the pipeline, so stay tuned. SOC 2 Type 1 audit completion is a particularly meaningful milestone for GetBlock and a baseline we plan to build on.
