Web3 initiatives depend on free, third-party blockchain nodes for retrieving data and performing actions on decentralized networks. Yet these critical nodes are prone to failures that can bring operations to a standstill and jeopardize data integrity. GetBlock’s solution to these challenges is high-uptime, reliable node infrastructure—keeping your Web3 applications up and running securely at all times. GetBlock provides 99.99% uptime assurance. Whether you need light nodes for lightweight access or dedicated nodes for customized resources, they have solutions that fit projects of any size. This commitment helps to mitigate the risks associated with node failures, enabling developers to focus on building innovative Web3 applications without infrastructure concerns.
Addressing Blockchain Node Vulnerabilities
Consider this a crash course on what blockchain nodes are, why they are the backbone of Web3, yet still susceptible to vulnerabilities. Node failures can be due to a multitude of reasons, such as technical errors, network overloads and DDoS attacks. One of the most troubling potential threats is the 51% attack. In this attack, a bad actor takes control of at least half the nodes on the network. With this control in hand, they can easily rewrite the blockchain’s entire history, undoing transactions and doing much worse in the process.
The impact of these vulnerabilities is catastrophic for Web3 dApps resulting in downtime, data loss, and compromised security. Node failures may be disastrous for projects dependent on real-time data and stable transactions. They devalue the technology through user distrust and user adoption fears. This is why it’s so important for Web3 projects to work with node infrastructure providers that have security and high availability as foundational principles.
GetBlock aims to meet these challenges and has designed its platform to tackle them directly. GetBlock provides powerful and stable Premium Nodes. This allows Web3 projects to reduce the risk that a node will fail, keeping their applications up and running and more importantly secure.
GetBlock's High-Availability Solutions
What sets GetBlock apart from the competition is the high-uptime nodes guarantees. It guarantees 99.9% uptime for its standard node offerings, providing reliable access to blockchain data. With GetBlock’s big plans, uptime is guaranteed at 99.99%, so even more quality availability for your projects. On the sport side, this promise is underscored by service level agreements (SLAs). This kind of reliability is key for higher Web3 applications that require always on utility to blockchain data.
Light Nodes always make sure speed and efficiency come first. They provide developers an easy way to access blockchain data without the hassle of maintaining a full node. In fact, these nodes can scale to accommodate millions of transactions per second matching the needs of most data-intensive applications.
For projects having specialized requirements, GetBlock offers Dedicated and Customized Nodes. These nodes are designed around the specific needs of each application project, providing optimized configurations and application-focused performance. For only $1,000/month, you’ll have access to dedicated nodes providing unlimited requests and access to historical data. This potent tandem provides developers with the functionality and autonomy required to build intricate Web3 applications.
Real-World Benefits and Testimonials
These are just a few examples of how GetBlock’s high-availability nodes are proving their worth in the field, as we hear from satisfied users. Additionally, Kyunghun Cheong commended GetBlock’s BSC nodes for their affordability. This further underscores GetBlock’s dedication to delivering high-quality blockchain services at a fraction of the cost—all while maintaining optimal performance and reliability.
Assemble CEO Domantas Pelaitis praised GetBlock nodes for making it easy to access data in real-time. This ability is critical for use cases that need real-time data like Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) and Financial Analytics Applications.
These testimonials highlight the importance of GetBlock’s node infrastructure in helping Web3 projects run reliably and securely. With GetBlock, developers get consistent and reliable access to blockchain data without expensive setups. This gives them the freedom to develop much more imaginative solutions that offer tangible benefits to customers.
