NEW: Select Your Region for Shared API Access

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.

Your dApp, your region: Customizable Shared Nodes are live at GetBlock

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.

Getting started with US API endpoints: Three steps

To start sending requests from a specific region (either the US or EU) RPC node users should follow these simple steps:

1. Sign in to GetBlock using MetaMask, GitHub, Google, or your email address.

2. In the Shared Nodes menu, click “Get”, then select the protocol, network type, and interface.

3. (NEW!) In the Region field, choose between USA (New York) and Germany (Frankfurt), then click “Get”.

That’s it. You’re good to go!

1. US-based endpoint URLs use the .us domain (e.g., https://go.getblock.us/42d356e1ee...)

2. 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.
