GetBlock has rolled out a key upgrade to its Shared RPC infrastructure. Polygon developers can now choose the region for the API endpoints: New York (US) or Frankfurt (EU).
This means significantly reduced latency for dApps and bots operating in North America, especially on high-throughput chains like Polygon. All Shared Node users now benefit from region-specific routing, improving response time and reliability.
If you’re running latency-sensitive applications (e.g., trading bots, dashboards, dApps), localized RPC endpoints can significantly improve performance and user experience.
Polygon RPC Now in NYC – Major Shared RPC Nodes Infrastructure Upgrade at GetBlock
GetBlock has upgraded its Shared RPC infrastructure for Polygon (MATIC) by adding a new regional endpoint in New York City, alongside the existing one in Frankfurt, Europe. This allows developers to choose between two locations to reduce latency and improve response times for their decentralized apps and other blockchain services, especially in North America.
Key Points:
Regional Endpoint Choice: Developers can select either the New York or Frankfurt server when using Polygon RPC.
Better Performance: Routing requests through the closer region reduces latency, improving speed and responsiveness.
Simplified Access: When you create a token, the endpoint URL is immediately available, making setup easier.
How to Use:
Log into your GetBlock account.
Go to the Shared Nodes section.
Get an access token for Polygon.
Choose your preferred region (New York or Frankfurt).
Use the provided endpoint URL in your application.
This upgrade is part of GetBlock’s ongoing effort to expand multi-region infrastructure for faster and more reliable blockchain API services.
