OnFinality Accelerates Subsocial 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 Subsocial today. Developers can now access a reliable and scalable RPC endpoint to allow them to build and launch their dApps on Subsocial.

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.

“We have been using the OnFinality API for a year within Sub.ID, utilizing 42 RPC nodes. This has provided us with stable and smooth interaction with the entire Polkadot ecosystem. We are excited to have this tool for our Subsocial blockchain as well – a significant step in improving the Developer Experience (DevEx) for our developers who require high throughput, and also for the future decentralization of the network. It's great to see projects working on ecosystem enhancements!”
