GetBlock Launches Gravity Alpha Mainnet RPC Support

GetBlock adds Gravity blockchain RPC API

A Web3 infrastructure provider, GetBlock, is adding support for Gravity – the high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built by Galxe.

This integration brings GetBlock's managed node services to the Gravity ecosystem, offering developers everything from free-tier JSON-RPC and WebSocket endpoints to private dedicated infrastructure deployed globally.

TL;DR

GetBlock launches Gravity Alpha Mainnet RPC support, including:

JSON-RPC and WebSocket API: Endpoints are live and accessible from the Shared Node dashboard, including free access, with archive mode available as a configurable option

Dedicated Gravity Nodes: Private full and archive nodes deployment service with tailored configurations

Archive access at all tiers: Complete archive data access to the Gravity blockchain is included for both shared endpoints and dedicated nodes

GetBlock’s Gravity infrastructure is deployed across New York, Frankfurt, and Singapore, letting users optimize latency by selecting their preferred region during endpoint and dedicated node setup

All services live. Sign in to GetBlock to provision Gravity endpoints and nodes now or contact our team for a quick demo of private infrastructure solutions.

Gravity Alpha Mainnet RPC access live on GetBlock

GetBlock starts providing turn-key Gravity blockchain RPC infrastructure across two service tiers – Shared Nodes and Dedicated Nodes.

Shared Nodes provide immediate access to Gravity's Alpha Mainnet network via JSON-RPC and WebSocket URLs. Endpoints are provisioned from GetBlock's main dashboard and are available to all users, starting from our free tier.

Recent upgrades from GetBlock enabled archive mode on Shared endpoints, bringing previously premium historical data access to all pricing tiers. Gravity endpoints can also be configured with archive mode, allowing applications to query the full history of the chain from genesis.

As a premium service, GetBlock offers Dedicated Gravity nodes. These are fully private, custom-configured full node or archive node instances, backed by custom SLAs. The service is aimed at teams running serious production workloads.

The Gravity infrastructure is deployed across three strategic regions: the US (New York), Germany (Frankfurt), and Singapore. GetBlock users select which region hosts their infrastructure – a critical factor for applications built on Gravity's sub-second finality architecture, where network distance directly impacts performance.

Set up Gravity endpoints in under five minutes

Accessing Gravity through GetBlock's Shared Node service takes less than five minutes from account creation to working endpoints:

Navigate to “Get endpoint” and search for Gravity

Choose deployment region: New York, Frankfurt, or Singapore

Optionally toggle the archive mode to enable queries against archive Gravity nodes

Get JSON-RPC or WebSocket endpoints

The endpoints are live immediately, giving you access to Gravity's current state and, if archive mode is enabled, its complete history.

Deploying Dedicated Gravity nodes with GetBlock: Step-by-step

For teams requiring dedicated Gravity infrastructure, the process provides more customization. From the GetBlock dashboard:

Navigate to the Dedicated Nodes tab

Select Gravity from the protocols list

Configure your private node specifications, preferred geographic hosting (US, EU, and Asia), and subscription terms

GetBlock's infrastructure team provisions your dedicated Gravity node

What is Gravity by Galxe?

Gravity is Galxe's Layer-1 blockchain, designed to power cross-chain interactions across its ecosystem, while abstracting away blockchain complexity from end users.

Evolving from Galxe's Web3 growth platform, home to Quest loyalty programs, Passport digital identity, and Compass airdrop tools, Gravity decentralizes these services on-chain. The platform also aims to become foundational infrastructure for the broader Web3 ecosystem, powering seamless cross-chain experiences that make blockchain technology accessible to mainstream users.

Galxe launched Gravity Alpha Mainnet in mid-2024 as the first phase of the Gravity rollout. Built on the Arbitrum Nitro stack, the Alpha Mainnet is intended to test cross-chain settlement capabilities, while the standalone Gravity Layer-1 architecture is finalized. The full Gravity Mainnet is a later phase that will include Gravity’s own execution and consensus components.

The blockchain targets use cases that demand high performance and interoperability: omnichain loyalty point systems, balance abstraction with yield that unifies user funds across chains, high-throughput DeFi protocols, Real World Asset tokenization, and cross-chain dApps using Gravity's native intent protocol.

With GetBlock's infrastructure backing Gravity, developers can tap into this ecosystem early without infrastructure investment, and build applications that serve millions of users with the confidence of professionally managed, production-ready node services.
