Quicknode

QuickNode is a blockchain infrastructure platform, founded in 2017, that provides enterprise-grade RPC and API services for developers and companies building onchain applications. What began as a focused RPC service has developed into a broader infrastructure platform intended to let teams build, scale and ship decentralised applications without compromise. The company reports handling more than 500 billion API requests a month across more than 80 supported chains, with 99.99% uptime and billions of requests processed daily.

The platform serves hundreds of thousands of builders worldwide and counts Fortune 500 enterprises and leading Web3 projects among its users. Customers and sectors cited include financial services, cryptocurrency exchanges, digital payments and stablecoins - Circle is named among them - and data analytics. QuickNode claims API response times up to 2.5 times faster than alternatives, a function of its focus on high-performance cloud infrastructure, distributed systems and multi-chain support.

QuickNode employs more than 120 people as a global distributed team, with an emphasis on reliability and a developer-first approach. The company has raised more than $95m in funding and is valued at $800m; investors include Tiger Global, Y Combinator, SoftBank and the Seven Seven Six Fund.
