GetBlock November 2025 Dev Update: Solana RPC in Asia, Feedback Portal & New Chains

November was another big month for GetBlock. We’ve added support for Ethereum’s latest testnet, opened brand-new Solana endpoints in Asia, a public feature request portal, and broadened our multi-chain coverage with a large set of new chains.

If you’ve missed anything this month, here’s a full recap of what’s new at GetBlock.

TL;DR:

GetBlock now runs the Shared Node Solana RPC infrastructure across three geographic clusters — Europe (Frankfurt), North America (New York), and the new one in Asia (Singapore)

With Holesky shutdown in progress post-Fusaka, GetBlock becomes one of the first RPC providers to add comprehensive RPC support for the new Ethereum testnet

Our Feature Request & Roadmap Portal launched. Users now have a dedicated space to suggest new features and track our roadmap

14 new blockchains RPC support added, including Monad, Sei, Arbitrum Nova, Corn, TAC, Taiko, Stellar, Xai, and more

Critical node client updates rolled out for Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, Sui, and other supported chains

GetBlock’s Black Friday campaign has concluded

New Solana RPC endpoints live in Singapore for lightning-fast latency

To better serve developers across the Asia-Pacific region, GetBlock expanded its Solana infrastructure with new Shared Node endpoints hosted in Singapore data centers.

After this upgrade, our Shared Solana RPC service is available in the same regions as Dedicated Node deployments: Europe (Frankfurt), North America (New York), and Asia (Singapore).

This gives teams more control over latency and performance while staying on Shared Node plans.

Solana JSON-RPC endpoints hosted in Singapore by GetBlock

Here’s how it works:

Multi-regional coverage is included with all Shared Node plans at no additional cost

Choose your preferred region – Frankfurt, New York, or Singapore (NEW) – directly from the dashboard when creating the Solana RPC URL

Improve dApp performance for users in different geographies, especially for real-time applications like trading platforms, NFT marketplaces, and high-frequency bots

This rollout is part of GetBlock’s broader initiative to expand regional coverage for high-load blockchain networks, so our users can always connect to the nearest, fastest RPC infrastructure.

Ethereum Hoodi replaces Holesky, GetBlock adds Hoodi RPC support

In November, GetBlock added RPC support for the Hoodi testnet, the latest Ethereum test environment, while officially deprecating Holesky endpoints.

Hoodi is Ethereum's new long-term testnet (LTS until Dec 2027) to replace Holesky, specifically for:

Infrastructure testing

Staking operations and validator testing

Protocol development, initially Pectra, then Fusaka hard fork testing, and future upgrades

GetBlock brings enterprise-ready Hoodi access through Dedicated full and archive nodes, plus Shared Node endpoints available starting from the free plan.

Both services are deployable across Frankfurt, NY, and Singapore infrastructure, and can be set up from the dashboard.

GetBlock Feature Request Portal is live

We’re making product development more collaborative and transparent with the launch of GetBlock’s public Feedback & Feature Request Portal.

New blockchain integrations

GetBlock’s multi-chain catalog expanded rapidly this month. See the list of all supported chains in our RPC nodes list.

In November, we added 14 new protocols:

Monad – High-performance L1 targeting very high throughput and low latency while staying fully EVM compatible.

Corn – A Layer 2 blockchain built specifically for BTCFi (Bitcoin DeFi), making tokenized Bitcoin (BTCN) the native gas token.

Arbitrum Nova – Arbitrum’s AnyTrust chain for ultra-low-cost transactions and high-volume use cases like gaming and social apps.

Flare – Data-centric smart contract platform that brings decentralized oracle-style data directly on-chain.

Sei – High-speed chain optimized for trading and orderbook-style applications, with fast finality and low-latency execution for on-chain markets.

TAC – EVM extension for the TON ecosystem, enabling Solidity dApps to deploy seamlessly as Telegram Mini Apps.

Ink – Kraken‑backed L2, built on OP Stack as a DeFi‑oriented chain and bridge between centralized exchange users and onchain finance.

0g – Modular, AI‑oriented Layer 1 designed for high‑throughput data and AI‑native applications, with a focus on scalable on‑chain compute and storage.

Gravity – Interoperability-focused protocol connecting multiple ecosystems so apps can tap liquidity and users across chains.

Taiko – Type-1 zkEVM rollup aiming to mirror Ethereum closely while adding zk-proof security and scalability for L2 applications.

Stellar – Battle-tested payments L1 optimized for fast, low-cost cross-border transfers and stablecoin-style assets.

Xai – Gaming-centric L2 built to let traditional game studios onboard players with familiar UX while keeping transactions on-chain.

Bitlayer – Bitcoin-aligned smart contract layer that brings programmable DeFi and dApps secured by Bitcoin’s economy.

Core – Bitcoin-adjacent L1 that combines Bitcoin’s security with EVM-style programmability for DeFi and cross-chain use cases.

All endpoints are live in GetBlock’s service dashboard and ready for both Shared and Dedicated Node setups.

For trials, migration help, or bespoke setups on any of the supported protocols, get in touch with our team through the contact form.

Node client updates

GetBlock rolled out a series of node client upgrades in November to stay aligned with major protocol events and other core network changes. Here’s a highlight reel of some of the most important upgrades:

Ethereum (geth v1.16.7, teku v25.11.0): Mandatory releases across execution and consensus layers that enable the Fusaka hardfork on Ethereum mainnet, activated on December 3, 2025.

Fusaka-compatible chains: To stay in sync with Ethereum after Fusaka, we also bumped clients on connected ecosystems, including Optimism and OP-stack chains, Arbitrum, ZKsync, Gnosis, and others.

BNB Smart Chain (v1.6.3): BSC testnet nodes were upgraded to v1.6.2 for the Fermi hardfork, which reduces block interval to 450 ms to boost throughput, then moved to v1.6.3 to add follow‑up fixes.

Polygon (Heimdall v0.4.5 & Bor v2.5.2): Upgrades to consensus and execution layers, improving syncing and overall network stability

Sui (v1.60.1): Sui nodes were upgraded to protocol version 101, introducing a new Mysticeti 2.0-based transaction processing path and a coin registry patch.

Archive Ethereum & Polygon (Erigon v3.3.0): Improves archive performance and state access for historical queries.

We also shipped a number of smaller maintenance and performance releases across other supported chains to keep node software aligned with upstream versions.

Black Friday results

This year’s Black Friday campaign offered up to 60% savings on GetBlock’s Shared Node plans and featured a community challenge awarding 5 million CUs to all participants.

The sale ran from November 24 to December 2, and was later extended to December 7. Hundreds of users participated, marking it one of GetBlock's most active events of 2025.

The campaign has concluded, but stay tuned for more community-driven activities!

Wrapping up

November’s releases focused on performance and expanding our multi‑chain catalog. We’ll keep preparing even bigger updates, and new blockchain integrations are already in progress.

If you’d like to explore these upgrades in your own stack, start directly from your user account or drop our team a message, and we’ll suggest a setup that fits your scale.

As always, we love hearing from the GetBlock community. If there’s a chain, feature, or integration you’re missing, add it to our Featurebase portal.

Thanks for building the Web3 future with us!
