“OnFinality is proud to be fueling the transfer of arbitrary assets both fungible and non-fungible on Polkadot and Kusama, by enabling web3 developers fast and easy access to the Statemint, Statemine and Westmint chains!”

— Daniel Vulinovich, Product Manager at OnFinality

While OnFinality has been supporting Statemine, Statement and Westmint for almost a year, it had not been announced until now.

During this time, we have been providing an easy to use, reliable and scalable API endpoints for builders to deploy and run their dApps on Statemint and Statemine, as well as a one-click node solution for users to rapidly deploy and manage their nodes on both networks and their Westmint testnet.

What is Statemint ($DOT) and Statemine ($KSM)?

Statemint and Statemine are system parachains on Polkadot and Kusama, respectively, for creating and sending fungible and non-fungible (NFTs) tokens. Their native tokens are DOT and KSM, respectively.

The most common use of Statemint and Statemine is for transferring non-native tokens and creating NFTs.

Some other reasons why someone might use them for their DOT and KSM would include utilising Statemint’s and Statemine’s lower transfer fees and existential deposits, and to meet the existential deposit for other (non-sufficient) assets.

What is Westmint?

Running on Westend, Westmint is simply the test network for Statemint and Statemine, Polkadot and Kusama’s common-good chains which allows the hosting of arbitrary assets, both fungible and non-fungible.

By connecting to Statemint and Statemine with OnFinality’s API endpoints, builders will be able to:

Access the Statemint and Statemine networks quickly in minutes without having to set up or manage infrastructure
Enjoy global performance, automated scalability and high availability of up to 99.99% uptime per year!
Gain valuable API Insights for you to spot issues on your apps and quickly implement rectifications for a bug-free user experience

We’re providing both public and private endpoints for Statemint and Statemine (Public endpoints will be heavily rate limited).

Simply sign up to app.onfinality.io to receive your free API key in minutes! Our ‘Free Plan’ comes with 500,000 daily responses for anyone to get started easily.

For teams looking to take your applications to the next level and ensure that you receive the best performance possible, we highly recommend using an API key. What are the benefits of getting an API key?

In addition, OnFinality also provides the ability for participants in the Statemint, Statemine and Westmint ecosystems to rapidly deploy and manage nodes via any of our supported cloud providers such as Amazon Web Service (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Alibaba Cloud.
