“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! 🙌

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

Price API (Indexing)

On-Chain Token Prices from DEXs like Uniswap / 1inch It would be super useful to have a Price API that gives access to real-time token prices directly from blockchain data (from DEX smart contracts like Uniswap, 1inch, PancakeSwap, etc). Right now, I have to rely on third-party price feeds, which often go down or don’t reflect on-chain prices accurately. Having an on-chain indexed Price API from GetBlock would save a lot of time for DeFi projects — we could easily display token prices, calculate portfolio values, or build dashboards that stay fully decentralized.

Boost RPC

A button that temporarily increases the RPS limit for a selected endpoint. Useful during traffic spikes, syncs, or testing without changing the plan permanently.

Interactive playground inside the documentation

When reading the docs, I spend half my time copying request examples into Postman, fixing missing quotes, and adjusting parameters before I can even test a call. It slows everything down. It would be awesome to have an interactive playground directly inside the documentation. For example, select a network, pick a method, hit ‘Run,’ and instantly see a real RPC response. That kind of embedded sandbox would make onboarding much faster for new developers and help experienced ones experiment directly from the docs — making the documentation truly interactive

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. 🙏

API or Prometheus Endpoint for Credit Usage and Endpoint Statistics

There should be a programmatic way to get metrics on the usage of your products. This would help teams see new usage patterns, alert on usage problems and generally have visibility into these products.

Pay-as-you-go for GetBlock RPC Nodes

Enable pay-as-you-go pricing for GetBlock RPC nodes, allowing AfricaCryptoChainx (ACCX) to pay only for actual Compute Unit (CU) usage without fixed monthly limits. This would reduce costs during development and testing while providing flexible scaling for production.

API endpoint for checking account balance and remaining CU

Users want to automatically monitor their account balance and CU usage to set up alerts in Prometheus/Blackbox Exporter, Grafana, and other monitoring systems. GetBlock currently does not provide a public API that returns: current account balance (USD or CU), CU included in the plan, CU usage and remaining CU, estimated time until depletion.

Support gzip compression for request bodies

GetBlock currently supports gzip/br compression for response bodies, but request bodies aren’t compressed. Could you add support for gzip on request bodies as well? This would help reduce bandwidth for larger requests, similar to what other RPC providers already offer.

Webhook notifications for new blocks and smart contract events

Currently, our backend polls eth_blockNumber every three seconds just to check if a new block has appeared. It’s wasteful — consumes CU, adds traffic, and introduces delays in data updates. It would make much more sense to have webhook or push notifications from GetBlock. For example, when a new block or an ERC-20 Transfer() event appears, your service could send a POST request to our endpoint with a payload like { blockNumber, txCount, events[] }. This approach would: eliminate constant polling, deliver data in real time, speed up UI updates, and make real-time analytics possible without a websocket layer. Webhook triggers would be a huge improvement for anyone building DeFi services or on-chain activity trackers.”
