I've been working on this solution for a couple of weeks. Viable overlay_getLogs methods are still terra incognita, actually. So, we have no choice but to be trailblazers here!

first real infrastructure closures of the bear cycle: > TapTools (cardano analytics) shutting down in two weeks > Dune sunsetting Sim infrastructure follows users and liquidity. when both drop, the most expensive layers go first and analytics, monitoring, and indexing run hot on cost while running cold on direct monetization

Shipping notes on the @hexens Builder Support program — relevant for any team I've been talking to about pre-launch security. What's in it: > Full Hexens audit at ~1/3 standard rate (same auditors, same scope, no quality compromise) > Hexens-audited badge at launch > Discounted access to Glider for post-audit monitoring > Free bug-bounty listing on R.xyz Eligibility: pre-seed or sub-$1M raised, first professional audit, live or near-launch product. Apply: hexens.io/pages/builder-supp…

Shipping notes from the validator side: GetBlock is now live as a chunk validator on @NEARProtocol. 99.7% endorsement reliability across 23,933 expected endorsements since launch. @meta_pool anchored the pool with 500,542 $NEAR at launch. first validator deployment for our infra team. next: same operational discipline, applied to whichever networks we run validators on next. one at a time. getblock.io/blog/getblock-jo…

Arc testnet support is live on GetBlock. Quick rundown for builders: – Stablecoin-native L1 architecture, USDC as the gas asset (no separate token to hold for fees) – Circle-backed, with Visa and Goldman Sachs integrated pre-mainnet – Standard JSON-RPC interface, same dashboard as the rest of our stack Spin up an endpoint: getblock.io/nodes/arc/

GetBlock kicks off Solana Grant Program with @SuperteamMY > up to $10k in compute credits, applied directly to your account > standard RPC compatible, switch any time with zero migration work > 90 days — enough window to benchmark against your current provider, run production workloads, and decide > managed nodes, devnet and mainnet access, onboarding included independently ranked top-5 solana RPC by @CompareNodes across 27 locations apply: getblock.io/grant-program-so…

Banteg published an unofficial EF transparency report this week onchain data cross-referenced against EF disclosures. covers november 2024 through may 2026. produced in a few hours through a Codex-assisted workflow reports of this depth used to require a small research team and weeks of work the economics of independent ecosystem oversight just changed. anyone with onchain literacy and a good prompt loop can now produce institutional-grade analysis on a weekend that's a bigger story than any single data point in the report

Anthropic's Project Glasswing update is worth reading carefully if you build or maintain anything on-chain. The numbers in one month: 10,000 high/critical-severity vulnerabilities surfaced across critical software. 6,200 in open-source projects alone. Cloudflare alone found 2,000 bugs with a false-positive rate they consider better than human testers. Full update: anthropic.com/research/glass…

CU billing turns every architectural decision into a cost calculation. that's a bad way to build NEW at GetBlock - Limitless Node: fixed RPS, unlimited requests, one price. eth_getLogs and debug_traceCall priced the same as basic reads from $99/month, 10 chains, up to 10x cheaper than dedicated getblock.io/limitless-node/

Bittensor was running production decentralized ML well before the AI/crypto narrative formed. A genuinely complex protocol with subnets, validators, and miners, and the Web3/AI design space is still wide open. Now on GetBlock. Dedicated and Shared Nodes. Substrate RPC, JSON-RPC, and WebSocket subscriptions all supported: getblock.io/nodes/tao/

for everyone still arguing whether stablecoins on public chains are too "anonymous" to regulate: T3 FCU has frozen $450M in illicit assets since sept 2024, working with law enforcement across 23 countries. exchange hacks, DPRK activity, terrorism financing, fraud the rails are responsive. the rails always were

The "20ms solana RPC" talk @GetVasily mentions in here is the one I'd most want to give at every conference and never get to. Glad it found the right room

Solana Devnet, now on GetBlock JSON-RPC and websockets, frankfurt cluster, free tier included Wait is over: getblock.io/solana

On the rsETH situation, let's be precise about where the failure was. The cross-chain messaging worked as specified. The exploit lived in how Kelp handled mint authority and rate validation on the destination side — exactly the layer a protocol team owns, not the bridge. What should have been in place: - Per-message and per-epoch mint caps, enforced onchain - Independent rate / TVL sanity checks before minting, not after - A circuit breaker tied to deviation from the canonical exchange rate Bridges give you a transport layer. They don't give you economic safety. Conflating the two is how protocols end up blaming infra for decisions they made in their own contracts.

April shipping notes from the infra side: TRON gRPC live alongside JSON-RPC and REST. lower per-request overhead, native streaming, built for payment and exchange backends running real volume. bittensor RPC extended to shared nodes — JSON-RPC, websocket, substrate APIs, all reachable from the free tier. US East cluster halfway through nomad → k8s migration. singapore finished at 99.9969% post-migration uptime. no endpoint changes for users, just steadier infra under the hood. on the upgrade side: synced nodes ahead of osaka/mendel on BSC, phuket on polygon, base's azul, ronin's L2 transition, and the first round of amsterdam-fork groundwork on geth.

One more locale down. GetBlock's site is now fully available in Spanish. Why it matters: LATAM has one of the fastest-growing Web3 dev communities, and English-only docs are friction we don't need to add. Next up: more language support, more regional infra. Échale un vistazo: getblock.io/es/

Shipped a full rebuild of the Dedicated Nodes page. New tooling: > Pricing calculator (per-node, per-region) > Setup configurator with hardware/network specs > Direct competitor benchmark on specs and price Built for teams hitting RPS limits, latency floors, or rate caps on shared: getblock.io/dedicated-nodes/

Succinct Labs shipped ZCAM, an iPhone app that cryptographically signs photos and video at capture, hashing the actual pixel data and binding it to the device. Anyone can verify the file came from a real camera, not an AI tool. This is the early shape of a category that's about to explode: verification-as-a-service and authentication-as-a-service. As generative models close in on perfect synthetic media, provenance stops being a nice-to-have and becomes infrastructure. Hashes, signatures, attestation chains, on-device proofs. Every platform that hosts user-generated content will need a verification layer within a few years. Builders should be looking at this primitive now.

The part of this report I keep coming back to: Alpenglow's 40,000 TPS in a 50-node test cluster, with ~120ms from slot end to finality. That's a 100x cut to Solana's current finality, in a system that's simpler to formally reason about than TowerBFT. Genuinely one of the most interesting consensus designs shipping in 2026.

RPC Inspector Pro (@comparenodes) ran a clean benchmark on OP Mainnet block propagation — eth_subscribe(newHeads) across 31 regions, 2 endpoints, 527 total block-region observations. Results: > GetBlock led in 487 / 527 cases > Alchemy led in 39 / 527 cases Full dataset, methodology, and regional breakdown: comparenodes.com/global-rpc-…

We need to stop designing DeFi like startups and start designing it like aerospace systems. • Real-time circuit breakers • Instant infra shutdown on anomalies • No single points of failure (especially bridges) Speed to market ≠ success Resilience is the real moat.
