# BlockPI > Global distributed Web3 infrastructure BlockPI is a Web3 infrastructure company providing distributed blockchain RPC and node services. It serves developers and applications that need reliable access to multiple blockchain networks. BlockPI is a Web3 infrastructure company that operates a globally distributed network of nodes and gateways supporting access to a wide range of blockchain networks. It provides RPC endpoints, dedicated node hosting, validator and node operator services, and account abstraction infrastructure for developers building decentralized applications. The company serves both individual developers and larger applications that require dependable blockchain connectivity. The platform addresses single-point failure and limited scalability in blockchain data access by distributing gateways and node clients across multiple regions, with requests routed through load balancing to the nearest available node. Users register for an account, generate an API key, and receive an RPC endpoint that routes requests through this distributed architecture, with archive node access and advanced debugging methods available for more complex use cases. This structure reduces latency and improves uptime compared to a single centralized endpoint. BlockPI's offerings span public and private RPC services, dedicated node packages, and infrastructure for account abstraction under the ERC-4337 standard, alongside its work as a node operator, validator, and actively validated services operator supporting network security for partner protocols. Its services are used by Web3 developers, decentralized applications, and blockchain projects that need consistent multichain connectivity. The company also offers decentralized storage support for node snapshots as part of its broader infrastructure stack. - Type: Company - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/blockpi ## Products - [BlockPI RPC Service](https://thegrid.id/profiles/blockpi): BlockPI RPC Service provides blockchain network access through distributed node infrastructure supporting JSON-RPC and WebSocket protocols across multiple blockchain networks. The service implements geographic load balancing, routing user requests to optimal nodes based on latency and availability metrics. Users access blockchain data through public endpoints or private API keys with tiered request unit packages supporting pay-as-you-go and subscription billing. The platform supports archive node access, advanced debugging methods including debug and trace namespaces, ERC-4337 account abstraction bundler integration, and MEV protection routing transactions outside public mempools. (RPC Provider, Live, Main Product) - [BlockPI Dedicated Node Service](https://thegrid.id/profiles/blockpi): BlockPI Dedicated Node Service provides exclusive blockchain node infrastructure with dedicated hardware allocation delivering unlimited request throughput and high query speeds. The service deploys tier-one baremetal servers in designated geographic regions with low latency and automatic failover mechanisms for high availability. Users receive private RPC endpoints with unrestricted archive data access and customizable configuration supporting fixed monthly billing with options for tailored deployment specifications. (Node Hosting, Live) - [BlockPI Validator Service](https://thegrid.id/profiles/blockpi): BlockPI Validator Service operates blockchain network validators and AVS node operations across proof-of-stake networks. The service manages multiple active validators providing block production and consensus participation across blockchain networks with technical support and operational monitoring ensuring network stability. The platform also operates as an AVS operator securing actively validated services within the restaking ecosystem.
