GetBlock Launches Solana Devnet Endpoints Across Shared and Dedicated Nodes

GetBlock today launches Solana Devnet infrastructure, bringing its full Solana performance stack to pre-production environments.

The new Devnet endpoints, available on Shared and Dedicated nodes, are deployed on the same architecture that delivers single-digit-millisecond Mainnet response times across GetBlock's multi-regional Solana clusters.

Solana Devnet API now on GetBlock – TL;DR

The new release gives developers building on GetBlock’s Solana infrastructure a stable, mainnet-like testing environment. It helps eliminate the rate limits and reliability issues that often make public Devnet RPC unsuitable for staging and CI flows.

Solana Devnet endpoints are live on the GetBlock dashboard on both Shared and Dedicated nodes
JSON-RPC and WebSocket interfaces are supported – switching from Devnet to Mainnet is a single RPC URL change
Access is scalable from 20 RPS to 1,000+ RPS with no per-method throttling
Built on the same infrastructure stack as our low-latency Mainnet endpoints – bare-metal hardware, 99.9+% uptime SLA, same operational standards

Solana Devnet access is included from the free tier up. From prototyping a single contract to running a full staging environment for a production dApp – GetBlock's pricing scales with you. Pick your plan.

How to get a Solana Devnet RPC endpoint

Spinning up a Solana Devnet endpoint takes four simple steps on GetBlock:

Sign in at GetBlock.io or sign up (Shared access is free to start)
In the endpoint configurator, select the Devnet network under Solana
Choose your interface – JSON-RPC or WebSocket
Generate the endpoint URL with your private Access Token

How to deploy a Solana Devnet JSON-RPC endpoint

The endpoint is ready to accept calls immediately. Pointing your app at the new endpoint is a one-line change in, e.g. for @solana/web3.js:

import { Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";
const connection = new Connection("https://go.getblock.io/<DEVNET-ACCESS-TOKEN>");

Two endpoints are included free on every Shared plan – enough to run separate Devnet and Mainnet endpoints side by side from day one. Paid tiers scale from $39/month.

Running a private Solana Devnet node with GetBlock

The private Solana Devnet nodes are configurable directly in the Dedicated Node dashboard with the following settings:

Node class – For most use cases, the standard full node configuration is the right choice, high performance profile also available
A physical location of your node - Frankfurt, New York, or Singapore
Subscription period - from 1 to 12 months

Dedicated node provisioning takes longer because you're getting bare-metal hardware spun up to your spec.

Note that some Mainnet-specific add-ons (e.g., MEV Protection, Yellowstone gRPC ) aren't applicable to Devnet nodes. If your production stack uses gRPC for state streaming and you need parity in staging, contact our team to scope it in.

GetBlock's Solana infrastructure: What you are plugging into

When you connect to Solana via GetBlock, Devnet access is part of a significantly deeper infrastructure stack, with:

Multi-regional footprint (Europe, US East, and APAC) with top latency benchmarks
Performance plugins – MEV Protection, optimized Yellowstone gRPC/Geyser with 25-30ms faster shreds (StreamFirst), priority transaction routing (LandFirst)
End-to-end HFT infrastructure (TradeFirst)
Pre-processed and indexed Solana history (IndexFirst)
SOC 2 Type I attested to meet enterprise trust, availability, and data security standards

From early development to latency-sensitive production workload on Mainnet, now everything runs on the same platform.

Get a Devnet endpoint and run your suite against the same backbone you'll deploy on.
