Core Node API

What do you like best about the product?

Streams have been really solid for us. We use them to listen for incoming payments to deposit addresses, and they’ve been reliable and easy to work with. Setup was straightforward and the docs are decent.

What do you dislike about the product?

Not much. Some of the dashboard and pricing around advanced features can take a bit of time to understand, but that’s about it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use QuickNode Streams to monitor blockchain transactions to customer deposit addresses. Instead of running and maintaining our own infrastructure, we receive transaction data reliably and can credit customer deposits much faster with less operational overhead.

What do you like best about the product?

The availability of specific, high-performance RPC endpoints makes development much easier. The infrastructure is incredibly fast, highly reliable, and simplifies integrating with different blockchain ecosystems without any hiccups.

What do you dislike about the product?

here isn't much to dislike, but if I had to pick something, the dashboard UI could sometimes be streamlined to make monitoring specific add-on usage easier. Overall, the performance is solid, so these are just minor details

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing infrastructure scaling was a big challenge for our business as traffic spiked. QuickNode handles the heavy lifting seamlessly, ensuring 100% uptime without requiring us to hire a dedicated DevOps team. It has greatly optimized our infrastructure costs and operational efficiency.

What do you like best about the product?

The support for every RPC network is top notch. Updates to RPC versions, ease of access, simple UI/UX flows. Can always count on them for performance as well.

What do you dislike about the product?

Not really any downsides ... they communicate updates well, downtime is near 0%.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Public RPC's are not reliable. Quicknode provides easy access to RPC with all the knobs you'd ever want. Easy to integrate and they provide agent instructions for LLM's. Pricing is also reasonable.

What do you like best about the product?

It connects to a wide variety of blockchain platforms and provides an API key for each one, which makes downloading data much easier.

What do you dislike about the product?

The UI design makes it difficult for me to pause my node quickly when I’m using the app, so I can’t do it in a timely manner.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I downloaded trace information from the blockchain platform, it was free, which is a major advantage compared with other platforms such as BlockSec. On top of that, the download speed was very fast, and the overall performance felt excellent.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about QuickNode is the Solana-specific data it exposes beyond basic RPC access, especially around priority fees.

I built PumpTerminal, a tool for analyzing fresh pump.fun mints, and being able to show real priority-fee conditions along with scoped network congestion makes the product much more useful for users. QuickNode’s priority-fee data helped me turn something that’s usually invisible into a clear, user-facing product feature.

I also work on Intelleum, an MEV intelligence layer on Solana, so I care a lot about execution conditions, congestion, and transaction behavior. Access to actionable fee signals is far more valuable to me than a generic endpoint, because it lets me build analytics that explain what’s happening on-chain and why it matters to users.

What do you dislike about the product?

There’s nothing major that I dislike, but QuickNode offers a lot of different options for Solana developers, and it can take time to figure out which one is the best fit for a specific product.

For instance, if you’re building around live transaction activity, token monitoring, or onchain analytics, you may need to choose between standard subscriptions, Streams, gRPC, and additional APIs. Having more practical, end-to-end examples that compare these approaches in the context of real Solana products would make that decision process much easier.

Overall, this feels more like an opportunity to improve onboarding for advanced use cases than an issue with the platform itself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solana products often need to handle a high volume of onchain activity and turn raw transaction data into something users can actually understand and act on.

I build products like Intelleum, which focuses on MEV intelligence and execution behaviour, and PumpTerminal, which helps users analyse fresh token launches and broader market activity. For products like these, dependable access to Solana data matters because the value comes from spotting patterns quickly and surfacing signals that are genuinely useful to users.

QuickNode lets me spend more time on transaction analysis, monitoring logic, and product features, rather than the operational work of maintaining blockchain infrastructure. As a result, it’s easier for me to build, iterate, and ship data-driven Solana products.

What do you like best about the product?

Good product for Streams, listening to on-chain events.

What do you dislike about the product?

Recent pricing change made Streams very predatory in terms of pricing, would consider moving away.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it for listening to on-chain deposits.

What do you like best about the product?

It’s easy to use, stable, and fast, and it also offers a wide range of plugins.

What do you dislike about the product?

Some of the extensions feel quite expensive for an individual developer. I’d really appreciate pricing that takes into account whether the buyer is an individual developer or a larger company, rather than using the same pricing across the board.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I love the Solana blockchain event streaming functionality. It’s exactly what I needed to analyze what’s happening in the crypto world.

What do you like best about the product?

QuickNode has been very helpful for my XRPL development work. The WebSocket connection is much more stable than the public endpoints I used before, and it reduced timeouts and sync issues in my project. The dashboard is easy to use, setup was fast, and the service works well for testing and production-like development.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main downside for me is the rate limit on lower-tier plans, especially when syncing many wallets or doing heavier XRPL reads. I had to tune concurrency and caching carefully to avoid hitting limits. More flexible XRPL-specific limits or clearer usage guidance would make the experience better.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

QuickNode is helping me solve reliability and performance issues with XRPL infrastructure. Before using it, public endpoints caused more timeouts and disconnects during wallet syncing and ledger reads. With QuickNode, I can run more stable WebSocket connections, sync wallet/token data more consistently, and spend less time debugging infrastructure problems. This lets me focus more on building my product instead of maintaining node reliability myself.

What do you like best about the product?

I got all the RPCs, controls, and quick review features I needed, and they make my work much easier.

Thanks, Quick Node.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing limited and charges make hard call and in the development time

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves multiple RPC searching problems.

What do you like best about the product?

Clear documentation and reliable data streams. Not a single accident for 2 months.

What do you dislike about the product?

A lot of options that provide approximately the same data in different way. Each one fits different workflow to be honest so I can see the reason for the design choices being made.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Single source for data that is otherwise hard to obtain from large number of other sources
