GetBlock Adds Support for Blast and opBNB RPC Nodes

In 2024, the Web3 infrastructure provider GetBlock has expanded its suite of supported blockchains to include two cutting-edge Layer 2 solutions: Blast and opBNB. They are realized on Optimism’s OP Stack for Ethereum-based chains.

Adding opBNB: A High-Performance L2 Solution

Launched in mid-August 2023, opBNB utilizes the OP Stack, an open-source L2 building framework developed by the creators of Optimism, a leading Ethereum scaler. It’s based on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and has its stability and support.

Therefore, the blockchain is fully EVM-compatible and has an impressive transaction speed of 4,000 TPS. It’s also one of the least expensive L2 solutions, with a median transaction fee of $0.005.

You can connect to the opBNB endpoint and try it now. GetBlock can help you with your blockchain development with a reliable and accessible infrastructure. Let’s see its benefits.

  • 40,000 free blockchain API requests are available per day.

  • Shared node pricing starts from $29/month, paying only for requests.

  • Dedicated node pricing starts from $600/month per node.

  • 24/7 support and help with node deployment and management.

Blast RPC Nodes Now Available, Too

Along with opBNB, GetBlock now also supports the Blast endpoints.

Blast was introduced in November 2023 by a crypto developer and investor Tieshun “Pacman” Roquerre. Its primary feature is its unique staking tokenomics. Everyone who holds it can start staking immediately. In addition, its commissions can be regulated during each transaction, and according to its docs, Blast shares its gas fees with its developers.

For Blast RPC connection, GetBlock offers a variety of APIs, including WebSockets, JSON-RPC, gRPC, and GraphQL, allowing developers to integrate and experiment with these innovative L2 blockchain solutions easily.

The company invites all Web3 developers to explore their capabilities and build their apps using one of these blockchains, or 50+ more supported by GetBlock nodes.
