Core Node API

What do you like best about the product?

The support for every RPC network is top notch. Updates to RPC versions, ease of access, simple UI/UX flows. Can always count on them for performance as well.

What do you dislike about the product?

Not really any downsides ... they communicate updates well, downtime is near 0%.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Public RPC's are not reliable. Quicknode provides easy access to RPC with all the knobs you'd ever want. Easy to integrate and they provide agent instructions for LLM's. Pricing is also reasonable.

What do you like best about the product?

It connects to a wide variety of blockchain platforms and provides an API key for each one, which makes downloading data much easier.

What do you dislike about the product?

The UI design makes it difficult for me to pause my node quickly when I’m using the app, so I can’t do it in a timely manner.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I downloaded trace information from the blockchain platform, it was free, which is a major advantage compared with other platforms such as BlockSec. On top of that, the download speed was very fast, and the overall performance felt excellent.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about QuickNode is the Solana-specific data it exposes beyond basic RPC access, especially around priority fees.

I built PumpTerminal, a tool for analyzing fresh pump.fun mints, and being able to show real priority-fee conditions along with scoped network congestion makes the product much more useful for users. QuickNode’s priority-fee data helped me turn something that’s usually invisible into a clear, user-facing product feature.

I also work on Intelleum, an MEV intelligence layer on Solana, so I care a lot about execution conditions, congestion, and transaction behavior. Access to actionable fee signals is far more valuable to me than a generic endpoint, because it lets me build analytics that explain what’s happening on-chain and why it matters to users.

What do you dislike about the product?

There’s nothing major that I dislike, but QuickNode offers a lot of different options for Solana developers, and it can take time to figure out which one is the best fit for a specific product.

For instance, if you’re building around live transaction activity, token monitoring, or onchain analytics, you may need to choose between standard subscriptions, Streams, gRPC, and additional APIs. Having more practical, end-to-end examples that compare these approaches in the context of real Solana products would make that decision process much easier.

Overall, this feels more like an opportunity to improve onboarding for advanced use cases than an issue with the platform itself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solana products often need to handle a high volume of onchain activity and turn raw transaction data into something users can actually understand and act on.

I build products like Intelleum, which focuses on MEV intelligence and execution behaviour, and PumpTerminal, which helps users analyse fresh token launches and broader market activity. For products like these, dependable access to Solana data matters because the value comes from spotting patterns quickly and surfacing signals that are genuinely useful to users.

QuickNode lets me spend more time on transaction analysis, monitoring logic, and product features, rather than the operational work of maintaining blockchain infrastructure. As a result, it’s easier for me to build, iterate, and ship data-driven Solana products.

What do you like best about the product?

Good product for Streams, listening to on-chain events.

What do you dislike about the product?

Recent pricing change made Streams very predatory in terms of pricing, would consider moving away.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it for listening to on-chain deposits.

What do you like best about the product?

It’s easy to use, stable, and fast, and it also offers a wide range of plugins.

What do you dislike about the product?

Some of the extensions feel quite expensive for an individual developer. I’d really appreciate pricing that takes into account whether the buyer is an individual developer or a larger company, rather than using the same pricing across the board.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I love the Solana blockchain event streaming functionality. It’s exactly what I needed to analyze what’s happening in the crypto world.

What do you like best about the product?

QuickNode has been very helpful for my XRPL development work. The WebSocket connection is much more stable than the public endpoints I used before, and it reduced timeouts and sync issues in my project. The dashboard is easy to use, setup was fast, and the service works well for testing and production-like development.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main downside for me is the rate limit on lower-tier plans, especially when syncing many wallets or doing heavier XRPL reads. I had to tune concurrency and caching carefully to avoid hitting limits. More flexible XRPL-specific limits or clearer usage guidance would make the experience better.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

QuickNode is helping me solve reliability and performance issues with XRPL infrastructure. Before using it, public endpoints caused more timeouts and disconnects during wallet syncing and ledger reads. With QuickNode, I can run more stable WebSocket connections, sync wallet/token data more consistently, and spend less time debugging infrastructure problems. This lets me focus more on building my product instead of maintaining node reliability myself.

What do you like best about the product?

I got all the RPCs, controls, and quick review features I needed, and they make my work much easier.

Thanks, Quick Node.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing limited and charges make hard call and in the development time

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves multiple RPC searching problems.

What do you like best about the product?

Clear documentation and reliable data streams. Not a single accident for 2 months.

What do you dislike about the product?

A lot of options that provide approximately the same data in different way. Each one fits different workflow to be honest so I can see the reason for the design choices being made.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Single source for data that is otherwise hard to obtain from large number of other sources

What do you like best about the product?

Its reliability and performance. Low latency and consistent uptime make it something you can depend on.

The UI/UX is clean and straightforward. Integrations are seamless. It works well with existing tools and supports a wide range of networks, so scaling across ecosystems doesn’t require rework. From a pricing/ROI perspective, it’s a practical choice. It removes the time and cost of running your own infrastructure and lets you focus on building.

Overall, it’s a dependable, no-friction infrastructure layer that just works.

What do you dislike about the product?

Pricing can become less predictable as usage scales, especially across multiple chains, which makes planning a bit harder at higher volumes.

Monitoring and observability could also be more robust. Having more granular insights into request-level performance, failures, and usage breakdowns would be helpful for debugging and optimization.

On the UI/UX side, while generally clean, some advanced features and configurations aren’t as intuitive and require a bit of trial and error.

Overall, it works well, but more transparency around costs and deeper tooling for monitoring would make it stronger.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

QuickNode removes the need to run and maintain blockchain infrastructure, which is both time-intensive and operationally complex.

Instead of managing nodes, uptime, and scaling issues internally, we can rely on a stable, ready-to-use infrastructure layer. That significantly speeds up development and reduces overhead, especially when working across multiple chains.

It also improves execution reliability—fewer disruptions, faster response times—which directly impacts the quality of applications and workflows built on top.

Overall, it lets us focus on building and iterating, rather than dealing with infrastructure maintenance, which is where the real efficiency gain comes from.

What do you like best about the product?

Ease of programming of blockchain platform. Reliable of global network scale.

What do you dislike about the product?

We believe dashboard UI can be more polished to be up to par with global cloud companies.
