RPC & node infrastructure

The QuickNode alternative with everything on one key

QuickNode is a strong managed-node provider. But if your roadmap needs more than raw RPC — decoded data, wallet analytics, AML screening or payouts — you end up stitching four vendors together. 1st Node gives you archive RPC and everything downstream of it under a single key, billed from a single credit balance.

Where QuickNode shines

QuickNode is known for low-latency RPC endpoints, broad chain coverage and add-on marketplace functions.

What you also get with 1st Node

  • Archive RPC served from our own nodes (BTC, ETH, TRON) — no per-chain add-on shopping.
  • Decoded transactions, logs and receipts out of the box, not as a separate product.
  • Wallet net-worth, approvals and tx simulation share the same key as your RPC calls.
  • On-chain intelligence and AML/KYT live next to your data plane — no second contract.
  • One prepaid credit balance for all of it; heavy primitives cost more, simple RPC is cheap.

Frequently asked

Can I migrate my QuickNode RPC calls without rewriting everything?

Yes. Our RPC passthrough speaks standard JSON-RPC, so most integrations need only a base-URL and auth-header change.

Do you support archive (historic state) queries?

Archive RPC is a first-class C2 primitive across BTC, ETH and TRON, served from our own archive nodes.

How is pricing different?

Instead of per-plan endpoints, every call burns credits by its tier from one prepaid balance — no separate subscriptions per capability.

Top up, get a key, ship.

Self-serve. Pay in crypto or card. Metered by credits — heavy primitives cost more, simple ones are cheap.
