One line changes
Both endpoints speak standard JSON-RPC over HTTPS and WebSocket, so ethers, viem and web3.py need no code changes. Everything we add is additive.
- Our extra namespaces are additive — nothing you already call changes shape.
- Run both in parallel and diff the responses before you cut over. Our free tier makes that cost nothing.
What each of us covers

◑ means partial or undocumented — not a criticism, just an honest mark where public information does not settle it. If QuickNode has shipped something since 2026-08-27, tell us and we will correct this page.
What QuickNode does not cover
Sourced gaps, not speculation.
Chain-generic data model
Streams carry blocks, logs and traces. There is no instrument registry, no multiplier series, and no corporate-action events, so equities semantics are left to you.
No consolidated tape
Trades arrive as decoded logs per venue. Normalising Uniswap, Rialto, Lighter and Arcus into one sequenced record is work you do downstream.
No premium signal or session tagging
Neither the divergence from the underlying nor the market session travels with the data.
Run us side by side
Do not switch on a comparison table. Point both at the same workload and compare the answers.
Get a free key
No card. Point a second RPC_URL at us and mirror your traffic.
Diff the responses
For standard eth_* calls the answers should be identical. If they are not, that is worth knowing about whichever provider is wrong.
Ask for a position at a pre-split block
This is the test that separates providers. Request a wallet's value at a block before a corporate action and check whether the multiplier applied is the one from that block or from today.
Moving from QuickNode
Endpoint shapes, auth differences, and the handful of behaviours worth checking before you cut over.
The questions migrations actually raise.
Mechanics, gotchas, and tier gates, answered plainly. Anything missing lives in the migration guide.
Yes. debug_traceTransaction and debug_traceBlockByNumber are both supported, which is a real advantage over Alchemy on this chain.
The delivery model is similar — realtime plus backfill through one interface, at-least-once with server-side filters. The difference is what is in the stream: ours carries tape prints, corporate actions and reconciled prices as well as blocks and logs.
Every claim links to QuickNode's own documentation and carries the date it was checked. We publish a case for choosing them, and we correct this page when they ship something new — a comparison that ages badly is worth less than no comparison.
RPC is free. Paid plans start at $50 per month for the data layer, with $25 for the first month.

A free key, a second RPC_URL, and the pre-split-block test. That is the whole evaluation.
