What is the Quicknode Core RPC API?

The Core RPC API gives your application RPC endpoints on 77+ chains from one Quicknode account. Traffic is routed globally with automatic regional failover, and endpoints autoscale with demand.

What uptime does Quicknode guarantee?

The Core RPC API is backed by a 99.99% uptime SLA, so your application stays live without interruptions.

How fast is Quicknode compared to other RPC providers?

Quicknode responds in 81ms against an industry average of 1,567ms, which makes it 19x faster. The benchmarks page shows live results across providers.

What is the difference between shared and dedicated infrastructure?

Shared endpoints run on Quicknode’s global node network and scale with your traffic. Dedicated Clusters give your team a private node group with dedicated capacity and fixed monthly pricing.

Can I start using the Core RPC API for free?

Yes. Quicknode has a free tier, so you can create an endpoint and send requests before you choose a paid plan.

Can I add more features to my endpoints?

Yes. Add-ons from Quicknode and partner teams add data APIs, transaction tooling, and compliance checks to your endpoints. Each add-on turns on with one click, with nothing extra to run.
