OnFinality Accelerates Polkadot's Bridge Hub with Performant RPCs

OnFinality, a multi-chain infrastructure provider adds all Polkadot parachains to its marketplace!

OnFinality, Polkadot’s leading infrastructure provider, announces support for Bridge Hub today. Developers can now access a reliable and scalable RPC endpoint to allow them to build and launch their dApps on Bridge Hub.

This milestone comes thanks to the support from the Polkadot treasury to fund common good infrastructure for the entire Polkadot community. This level of ecosystem support reaffirms Polkadot’s reputation as one of the most developer and innovation friendly ecosystems, and a top choice for app-chain builders when deciding on what layer-0 to build in. OnFinality will be working closely with other infrastructure providers to expand this common good infrastructure programme in the coming weeks.

OnFinality is a blockchain infrastructure platform that saves web3 builders time and makes their lives easier. We deliver easy-to-use, reliable and scalable API endpoints for the biggest blockchain networks and empower developers to automatically test, deploy, scale and monitor their own blockchain nodes in minutes.

What is Bridge Hub?

Polkadot’s Bridge Hub parachain is a significant step in connecting blockchain networks. Developed by Parity, Snowfork, and the Web3 Foundation, it serves as a central hub supporting multiple bridges, including the Polkadot-Kusama connection.

This secure bridge technology enables seamless communication and collaboration between networks, enhancing overall interoperability. The implementation fosters greater inclusivity and cooperation among blockchain collectives, allowing Kusama to actively participate and act as a unified entity within the Polkadot ecosystem.

By connecting to Bridge Hub via OnFinality’s RPC API endpoints, builders will be able to:

Access the Bridge Hub network 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 target 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 Bridge Hub (note that public endpoints may be rate limited for service stability).

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?

Bridge Hub Public API Endpoints

* Please note that these endpoints may be rate limited to maintain service stability.

HTTPs: https://bridgehub-polkadot.api.onfinality.io/public
Websocket: wss://bridgehub-polkadot.api.onfinality.io/public-ws

For example,you can query the following to get the latest block; curl -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d ‘{“id”:1, “jsonrpc”:”2.0", “method”: “chain_getBlock”}’ ‘https://bridgehub-polkadot.api.onfinality.io/public'
