API Marketplace
API Marketplace provides blockchain infrastructure services through unified developer dashboard, including RPC endpoints for blockchain access, cryptocurrency payment processing, and data analytics. The platform delivers JSON-RPC, REST, and GraphQL interfaces with compute-unit-based metering, webhook integration for payment verification, and SQL query capabilities for blockchain data analysis across supported networks.
BlockEden.xyz
What It Is
BlockEden.xyz is a Web3 infrastructure platform that operates as an API marketplace and staking node provider, letting developers access production-grade blockchain RPC endpoints, indexers, and analytics APIs through a single dashboard and API key. Founded in 2022 and headquartered at 600 California Street in San Francisco, the company is operated by Stargately, Inc., a software firm that also runs Cuckoo.Network and Beancount.io. BlockEden.xyz began by serving the Aptos and Sui developer communities at mainnet launch and has since expanded to 89 APIs spanning 27-plus blockchain networks.
As of mid-2026, the platform reports more than 6,000 registered developers, over $65 million in staked assets under management, and a stated 99.9% uptime record dating from the Aptos mainnet launch.
How It Works
Developers sign up, generate an API key, and get immediate access to every network available in the marketplace — no separate account, contract, or node configuration per chain. Requests are measured in compute units (CUs) rather than raw request counts, which lets BlockEden.xyz normalize cost across chains with different computational demands. Solana JSON-RPC calls, for example, cost 500 CUs per request, reflecting the chain's higher throughput requirements, while simpler chains such as NEAR and Celo cost 100 CUs per call.
The platform supports three API types across its supported networks:
- JSON-RPC — the primary interface for most chains including Solana, Ethereum, and all major EVM networks
- REST API — used for Aptos and TON
- GraphQL — available for select networks alongside SQL analytics for querying indexed on-chain data
Beyond raw RPC relay, BlockEden.xyz bundles additional developer tooling: a data analytics portal with SQL query support against indexed blockchain data, WebSocket connections for real-time event streaming, MetaMask direct-add links for 20-plus EVM chains, and dStore, a decentralized storage layer. The platform also offers Blockroma, an open-source EVM-compatible blockchain explorer.
Solana Support
Solana is one of BlockEden.xyz's three flagship Layer-1 integrations alongside Aptos and Sui. The platform provides production-grade Solana JSON-RPC endpoints with low-latency characteristics suited to consumer dApps, payment rails, and trading systems — use cases that require fast transaction confirmation feedback.
In April 2026, BlockEden.xyz published analysis of Kora, Solana's fee relayer and signing node standard, noting that its own infrastructure is positioned to serve teams building the next generation of Solana consumer applications where gasless UX and SPL-token fee payment matter. The company describes its Solana endpoints as designed for low-latency access at production scale.
Products and Services
API Marketplace — The core product: 89 endpoints across Aptos, Sui, Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Scroll, Linea, zkSync Era, BSC, Avalanche, Filecoin, NEAR, Celo, Gnosis, Harmony, IoTeX, TON, Polkadot, XRP, Stellar Soroban, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Tron, and others. A single key covers all supported networks.
Staking Node Infrastructure — BlockEden.xyz operates validator and staking nodes, managing $65-plus million in staked assets. Developers building staking-adjacent applications or yield strategies can use these nodes directly.
Blockchain-as-a-Service — Enterprise SLA packages for teams that need dedicated capacity, custom rate limits, and contractual uptime guarantees beyond what the self-serve tiers provide.
Payment Links — A built-in crypto payment layer that lets merchants or developers accept APT, USDC, and USDT (issued on Aptos) without integrating a separate payment processor.
Analytics Portal — SQL and GraphQL interfaces for querying indexed blockchain data, useful for business intelligence, on-chain analytics, and building data-driven dApp features without running a separate indexer.
dStore — A decentralized storage module accessible through the same API marketplace.
Blockroma — An open-source EVM blockchain explorer available for teams running or building on EVM-compatible networks.
Pricing
BlockEden.xyz uses a tiered compute-unit subscription model. All plans include access to the full API marketplace and the analytics portal.
| Plan | Monthly Price | CUs per Day | Rate Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 10,000,000 | 1 req/s |
| Basic | $19.99 | 40,000,000 | 10 req/s |
| Pro | $49.99 | 100,000,000 | 10 req/s |
| Enterprise 50 | $199.99 | 513,330,000 | 50 req/s |
| Enterprise 500 | $999.99 | 3,079,980,000 | 500 req/s |
Paid plans accept cryptocurrency payments (APT, USDC, USDT on Aptos) in addition to standard billing. Custom enterprise contracts are available. The free tier supports up to 15 simultaneous projects, making it viable for hobbyist and early-stage development without a credit card.
Team and Backers
The core engineering team comes from Google, Meta, Uber, and IoTeX, with advisors holding academic ties to Yale, Harvard, and the National University of Singapore. The company is bootstrapped — no institutional venture round has been announced — but counts Sky9 Capital, IoTeX, and BingX among its notable backers. No native token has been minted, and BlockEden.xyz does not operate a token-based incentive or governance system.
Tokens and Assets
BlockEden.xyz has not issued a project token. Staking yields are generated through third-party network validator rewards rather than a proprietary token emission. The platform's crypto payment system supports APT, USDC, and USDT on Aptos as billing currencies, chosen to reflect BlockEden.xyz's origins in the Aptos ecosystem.
Security and Reliability
The platform cites 99.9% uptime since the Aptos mainnet launch in 2022 as its primary reliability benchmark. Infrastructure is enterprise-grade by positioning, and the Blockchain-as-a-Service offering includes enterprise SLAs for teams with uptime contractual requirements. The company does not publish third-party audit reports or detailed security architecture documentation on its public site.
Solana Ecosystem Fit
BlockEden.xyz occupies the infrastructure layer of the Solana developer stack. It is not a protocol, DeFi application, or token issuer — it is a node and API service that abstracts away the complexity of running and maintaining Solana RPC nodes. Its value proposition for Solana builders is the same as for any other supported chain: immediate endpoint access, no node operations overhead, predictable pricing in compute units, and a single key that also unlocks EVM, Aptos, and Sui access when developers build cross-chain applications.
The platform's multi-chain scope means Solana is one of several major networks it serves rather than its sole focus. Teams committed exclusively to Solana may find specialized providers with deeper Solana-specific features — such as priority fee estimation or Jito bundle support — but BlockEden.xyz's breadth and unified access model make it a practical choice for developers building across ecosystems or seeking a single API provider at an accessible price point.
