Stability
Entering into the second half of 2023, we continue to deliver reliable, scalable and high performing solutions across 88 chains including Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polkadot and Polygon, maintaining our 99.99% uptime target (less than 53 minutes of downtime per year)!

Chain Support Announced
In July, we added API for 2 EVM-compatible chains, Kava chain and OKT Chain by OKX, bringing the grand total number of supported chains to 88!
Kava is a decentralised blockchain that combines the flexibility and speed of Ethereum smart contract development with the interoperability of the Cosmos SDK.
OKT Chain (OKTC), developed by OKX, is an EVM- and IBC-compatible L1 built on Cosmos with a focus on true interoperability and maximised performance. At high scalability, developers can build and scale with low gas fees.
Easy, Reliable and Scalable API Support
Our elastic API service is a globally distributed service that ensures your users receive the lowest latency service possible. We have been serving over 1 Billion JSON RPC requests to our public API service every day at 99.99% uptime target.
Connect in seconds to enterprise grade endpoints that scale infinitely and rely on archive nodes to provide full history of the chain.
