How to Switch From QuickNode to GetBlock

Create Your GetBlock Endpoint

Sign up at account.getblock.io
Go to Shared Nodes → Create New Endpoint
Select your blockchain, network, and API interface
Choose your region (closest to your servers)
Copy the endpoint URL

Infura format:

https://your-endpoint-name.quiknode.pro/YOUR_TOKEN/

GetBlock format:

https://go.getblock.io/YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN/

Update Your Code

// Before (Infura)
const provider = new JsonRpcProvider(
  "https://xxx.quiknode.pro/YOUR_QN_TOKEN/"
);

// After (GetBlock)
const provider = new JsonRpcProvider(
  "https://go.getblock.io/YOUR_GETBLOCK_TOKEN/"
);

// Before
const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: mainnet,
  transport: http(
  "https://xxx.quiknode.pro/YOUR_QN_TOKEN/""
);
});

// After
const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: mainnet,
  transport: http("https://go.getblock.io/YOUR_GETBLOCK_TOKEN/"),
});

// hardhat.config.js — Before
networks: {
  mainnet: {
    url: "https://xxx.quiknode.pro/YOUR_QN_TOKEN/"
  }
}

// hardhat.config.js — After
networks: {
  mainnet: {
    url: "https://go.getblock.io/YOUR_GETBLOCK_TOKEN/"
  }
}

Environment Variables (recommended)

Best practice: use environment variables to switch providers without code changes.

# .env
RPC_URL=https://go.getblock.io/YOUR_GETBLOCK_TOKEN/

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider(process.env.RPC_URL);

Verify Everything Works

Run a quick check:

curl -X POST $RPC_URL \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'

If you get a valid response with a block number, you're good.
