Blast API

Blast is built to address blockchain access challenges for Web3 developers. Why is that important? Building in Web3, and especially working on multi-chain products and protocols comes with the overhead of requiring access to up-to-date nodes for each of the blockchains a developer would wish to deploy their products on. This requires a non-negligible amount of infrastructure, maintenance, and monitoring which is neither cost-effective nor should it be the purpose of the specific web3 developers. Instead, Blast API provides access to a range of over 39 different blockchains in just a couple of steps at a minimum cost. It is free to use for initial testing purposes and it provides subscription plans starting from only 50$ while being equipped to handle unlimited amounts of production traffic. The architecture behind the platform is designed for optimized performance and reliability providing worldwide coverage, with failsafe mechanisms across multiple regions. A smart routing algorithm is being used to route request based on a variety of factors, from geolocation of the requestor to the load and latency of each node running in the backend so as to ensure one of the fastest response times in industry. Moreover, the advanced monitoring and alerting sytems ensure both maximise reliability as well as very efficient incident response times to reduce down times.
