## Products

### Shared Nodes (RPC API)

Premium multi-tenant RPC endpoints for 130+ blockchains with JSON-RPC, REST, WebSocket, GraphQL, and gRPC. Free tier available, paid plans from $49/month or $39/month billed annually, up to 800 RPS, geo-selectable regions, and MEV-protected endpoints on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Base, and Solana. Usage is metered in Compute Units, with unused CUs rolling over while the subscription stays active.

- Nodes and chain list: https://getblock.io/nodes/
- Create an endpoint: https://account.getblock.io/

### Limitless Node

A dedicated endpoint with guaranteed RPS and no Compute Unit metering. Pick an RPS tier on a single chain, pay a fixed monthly fee, and send as many requests as the throughput allows, with no usage billing and no overage charges. Sits between shared plans and a private node: more throughput and isolation than shared, at a fraction of the cost of dedicated.

Now self-serve: configure and deploy directly from the dashboard on 11 chains: Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, TRON, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Sui, and BNB Smart Chain. Any other supported chain is deployed by request through sales. Full and archive configurations, multi-region geo-routing, and no per-method throttling or connection limits. Built for indexers, bots, wallet backends, AI agents, and analytics platforms that need predictable monthly costs at high request volume.

- Deploy from the dashboard: https://account.getblock.io/limitless-nodes
- Docs: https://docs.getblock.io/getting-started/plans-and-limits/limitless-node

### Dedicated Nodes

Private, single-tenant blockchain nodes on isolated servers, with no rate limits, full archive data, custom server location (EU / US / APAC), client selection, and a 99.99% uptime SLA. Built for high-volume dApps, indexers, exchanges, and AI agents. Prices are public and configurable in the dashboard with no sales call. From $1,000/month.

### Solana Advanced Data Tools

A low-latency Solana stack deployed in the three regions with the highest validator-stake density. Independently verified by CompareNodes in Q2 2026 as the fastest Solana RPC in the EU and Dubai, at 7ms RPC latency with transaction landing under 1 second.

### AML, Risk & Compliance APIs

On-chain risk scoring and anti-money-laundering checks for wallets and smart contracts, available through the dashboard and by API. Wallet checks cover Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Base, and analyze 18+ AML parameters alongside behavioral profiling, protocol interaction history, and predicted intentions. Reliable scores require an address with at least 10 to 15 transactions. Contract addresses are not supported by the wallet products.

First 5 checks are free on every account, then $0.20 per check.

## Payments & transaction costs

Infrastructure for reducing the on-chain cost of moving value, separate from RPC access.

### TRON Energy Rental

Rent TRON Energy instead of burning TRX on TRC-20 transfers, cutting the cost of a USDT transfer by up to 70%. Delivery in under 2 seconds, with no staking and no frozen funds. Energy can be delegated to any valid TRON address without holding its private key. Balance is held in USD and charged on actual usage, with prices refreshed every 10 minutes against network conditions.

Rental durations of 5 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 14 days. Short 5-minute delegations start from $0.50, which suits per-transaction and burst workloads. A USDT transfer consumes roughly 65,000 Energy when the recipient already holds USDT, or roughly 131,000 Energy on a first transfer to that address. Teams needing 10M+ Energy daily can request custom enterprise pricing.

## Pricing

All prices in USD. Annual billing takes 20% off every shared plan and every Limitless Node tier.

### Shared Nodes

| Plan | Monthly | Annual, per month | Compute Units | RPS | Access tokens |
|------|---------|-------------------|---------------|-----|---------------|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 50K / day | 20 | 2 |
| Starter | $49 | $39 | 90M / mo | 250 | 10 |

Extra CU packages can be bought on any paid plan without changing tier. Top-up rates fall as the tier rises, reaching $0.40 per 1M CU on Pro and $0.35 per 1M CU on Premium.

### Limitless Node

Pricing is per node type and per chain, with unlimited requests within each RPS tier and 20% off on annual billing. Self-serve on 11 chains from https://account.getblock.io/limitless-nodes; chains outside the list are deployed by request through sales.

EVM chains, Bitcoin, TRON, Sui, full node: 25 RPS $150, 50 RPS $300, 150 RPS $500, 300 RPS $1,000 per month.

EVM chains, Bitcoin, TRON, Sui, archive node: 15 RPS $150, 30 RPS $300, 50 RPS $500, 100 RPS $1,000 per month.

Solana, full node: 5 RPS $150, 15 RPS $450, 30 RPS $900, 50 RPS $1,500 per month.

Networks: Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Bitcoin, BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, Solana, Sui, and TRON. One subscription covers one network.

### Dedicated Nodes

From $1,000/month for a mainnet full node on the standard performance tier in a single region. Archive nodes and high-performance tiers cost more, and any supported chain can be deployed. Term discounts: 10% on 6 months, 20% on 12 months. Every dedicated node includes a free shared plan worth $49/month.

### AML, Risk & Compliance APIs

First 5 checks free, then $0.20 per check. Covers Wallet Risk Check, Wallet Audit, and Rug Pull Checks.

### TRON Energy Rental

Pay per delegation, no subscription. Short 5-minute delegations from $0.50. Renting 65,000 Energy for one hour costs 1.95 TRX against 6.5 TRX burned without it, a 70% saving. The same 70% ratio holds at 131,000, 270,000, and 540,000 Energy.

### Enterprise and private infrastructure

Enterprise from $999/month with custom pricing above that. Confidential RPC and On-Prem Cluster are quoted per deployment. Teams spending over $1,000 per month can request volume terms with savings up to 50%.

All plans include every supported chain. Crypto payment is accepted on all plans, and Enterprise can bill fully in crypto.

Authentication note for agents: the Access Token is embedded in the URL path, not in HTTP headers. The endpoint URL is the credential, so treat it as a secret.
