BlockNode gives onchain teams a clear way to buy RPC access, organize projects, and keep request limits visible.
1. Create an account
Create a BlockNode account with your name, email, and password. After signing in, you can create your first workspace.
2. Create a workspace
A workspace is the shared home for a team. Give it a name, invite teammates, and decide who can manage members, projects, and billing.
3. Create a project
Projects keep access and billing separate. Choose a project name, a region, and a monthly plan that matches the traffic you expect.
Projects are a useful boundary for production, staging, customer-facing apps, indexers, or any other workload you want to keep distinct.
4. Create an API key
Open your project, create a named API key, and keep it specific to the application or environment that will use it. You can create multiple keys and revoke them individually.
Your first request
Each project exposes an HTTP and WebSocket connection for the chains enabled in its region. The dashboard shows the exact connection URLs and a ready-to-copy request example after your key is provisioned.
curl https://your-project-endpoint/main/ethereum \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-H 'x-api-key: your-api-key' \
--data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[]}'
Next steps
- Review projects and API keys before adding production traffic.
- Check chains and regions to choose the right starting point.
- Read pricing and limits so your team knows exactly what happens at the boundary.
