“Sandbox” environment for testing endpoints

When I’m integrating new networks (like Polygon, Arbitrum, or Near), I usually start by testing basic RPC calls — things like eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_call, or getBalance. The problem is, every one of these tests consumes real Compute Units (CU), even if I’m just debugging payloads, checking response formats, or running quick CI/CD checks. It would be super helpful to have a Sandbox Mode directly in the dashboard — a lightweight environment where we can run limited read-only RPC requests without burning CU. Here’s what I imagine: A simple toggle or section in each network tab: “🔧 Sandbox Mode.” When enabled, requests go through a sandbox endpoint The sandbox would return limited blockchain data (for example, the last 100 blocks), and only support read-only methods. That kind of setup would be perfect for: CI/CD health checks SDK testing Quick debugging before moving to production endpoints Even small limits (say, 50 requests per minute) would make a big difference. This feature would save a lot of CU during development and make it easier to experiment with new networks safely inside the dashboard. Thanks for considering! 🙌

Usage & subscription alerts via email

It’s getting really difficult to manage my nodes and subscriptions without alerts. We used to have notifications for CU usage and node expiration — that was incredibly helpful. Now that they’re gone, I often realize something has expired or hit the limit only after production requests start failing. When you’re running several networks like Polygon, BNB, or Solana, it’s just not realistic to keep checking everything manually in the dashboard. It would be great to bring those alerts back — usage thresholds, upcoming expirations, and maybe even email or Slack notifications. That feature saved a lot of time and prevented unnecessary downtime. Honestly, it was one of the most useful parts of the old dashboard, and I really miss it. 🙏

Solana archive node

As a data analyst working with Solana, I frequently need access to historical state data - not just recent transactions, but the exact state of accounts, token balances, and programs at a specific slot. The problem is that standard Solana RPC nodes (even full ones) only keep recent ledger data, usually covering just a few days or weeks. That means: You can’t fetch token balances or account data for a block from 2022 or even early 2023. Methods like getProgramAccounts, getBalance, or getAccountInfo only return current data — not historical state. Even if you use getBlock(slot), older slots are pruned and simply unavailable. For analytics, audits, and data integrity checks, this is a huge blocker. Example use cases: Compliance & auditing: verifying token flows or validator rewards from last year. Research: analyzing DeFi protocols’ evolution, like changes in TVL or staking behavior over time. Forensics: investigating exploits, tracing suspicious activity, or reconstructing on-chain events. Data science: building dashboards or ML models that rely on complete time-series data. To make this possible, we need an archive Solana node — one that stores the full historical ledger and allows queries like: getBlock(slot, { encoding: "jsonParsed" }) getAccountInfo(pubkey, { commitment: "finalized", slot: }) Even if access is rate-limited or premium-only, it’s critical for analytics and infrastructure projects. Right now, the only workaround is using third-party data providers or manually archiving data — both expensive and unreliable. Having a native archival RPC endpoint from GetBlock would be a game-changer for any serious Solana data work
