Polly RobertsTop Solana Memecoins: What You Need to Know
Sometimes, memecoins are described as speculative and often low-quality tokens, with no other purpose than just speculate funds in attempts to earn something on price fluctuations. But still, many people love them. They are the representation of common memes on-chain, acting as robust community engagement tools. And of course, it’s possible to earn when their price fluctuates, although even in the best scenario such earnings are rarely large. Still, Solana memes are fun, and that’s it! So, le...
Polly RobertsPolygon Nodes: Types and Usage
Polygon (MATIC) nodes are essential for developers and validators operating on the Polygon blockchain. It serves as a scaling solution for Ethereum, addressing issues like high gas fees and low transaction bandwidth. Polygon is compatible with Ethereum and its layer-2 solutions via bridges, allowing users to interact with the blockchain using RPC endpoints. It has its own developed infrastructure, with DeFis, dApps, tokens, and NFTs, and its node structure is quite unique compared to other ne...
Polly RobertsBNB Smart Chain (BSC) vs. Ethereum: What’s the Difference?
The blockchain ecosystem is in the constant quest for optimal platforms by both users and developers. And today we’re exploring this dynamic by comparing two leading contenders: Ethereum and BSC. This article is a breakdown of the main differences between BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and Ethereum, focusing on fees, performance, dApp ecosystem, and network efficiency. TL;DR: While Ethereum is the crowned leader in highly secure and decentralized applications, BNB Chain fills the niche for those who n...

GetBlock, a top RPC node provider, shares details of a major enhancement of its Shared RPC Node stack. Starting July 2025, all Shared Node customers can now choose their preferred region when setting up RPC endpoints.
As a premium global RPC node provider and Web3 infrastructure platform for businesses, GetBlock now enables region selection for Shared Node users.
With this upgrade, users can choose between the EU (Frankfurt, Germany) and the US (New York) as their API server location.
This results in a decent reduction in latency for developers and their end users since the requests from the US no longer need to be routed through the EU, and vice versa.
Vasily Rudomanov, blockchain OG and CEO of GetBlock, stresses the significance of regional node access for dApp performance and availability:
The logic is straightforward and applies equally to both Web2 and Web3: if your users are in the U.S., there’s little sense in routing blockchain data through nodes in Kuala Lumpur or Frankfurt. Latency matters.
Despite this, most RPC node providers restrict regional customization to their premium, dedicated server plans. At GetBlock, we’re changing that. Regional selection - whether EU or U.S. - is now available across all packages.
It’s a crucial step toward maximizing speed, reliability, and user experience for decentralized applications. And this is just the beginning, as more regions and enhancements are on the way.
Most importantly, the new feature is available to all Shared Node users including those on Free plans. No additional setup required as multi-region endpoints already live in your dashboard.
In this initial release, US/EU switching is supported for a select group of the most popular blockchains.

To start sending requests from a specific region (either the US or EU) RPC node users should follow these simple steps:
Sign in to GetBlock using MetaMask, GitHub, Google, or your email address.
In the Shared Nodes menu, click “Get”, then select the protocol, network type, and interface.
(NEW!) In the Region field, choose between USA (New York) and Germany (Frankfurt), then click “Get”.
That’s it. You’re good to go!
US-based endpoint URLs use the .us domain (e.g., https://go.getblock.us/42d356e1ee...)
EU-based servers continue to use the familiar .io domain (e.g., https://go.getblock.io/6a24c0c...).
Deployment of Asian endpoints for Shared Nodes (Singapore and Kuala Lumpur) are underway.
Need more flexibility? You can always deploy a Dedicated Node in your preferred region.
We’re wide open to feedback. Chat with us via our Contact page.
