Cronos zkEVM Chain Now Supported By GetBlock: How to Use It
JSON-RPC endpoint provider
GetBlock becomes a first RPC node provider to add support for Cronos zkEVM
RPC node provider GetBlock, a premium Web3 infrastructure platform active since 2019, has announced an addition of Cronos zkEVM RPC nodes to its services kit. JSON RPC and WebSockets endpoints are available for GetBlock customers now.
This announcement unlocks a number of new opportunities for developers building on zkEVMs.
First, they don’t have to run and maintain their own node which can be rather challenging for the majority of teams. Second, they don’t need to rely on public RPC endpoints any longer. Developers can enjoy flexible, customizable, and high-speed API connection with no need to compete for the resources with their peers.
Last but not least, all Cronos zkEVM endpoints are available in both free and paid plans. Developers can experiment with the instruments of Cronos zkEVM for free with 40,000 requests per 24 hours. In three clicks, teams can access secure and fast API endpoints to zkEVM that can be used for resource-efficient dApp development.
Setting new standards in Blockchain-as-a-Service infrastructure
As of now, Cronos zkEVM developers can use shared and dedicated nodes via GetBlock RPC endpoints. With shared nodes, customers can choose between limited (from 5M requests per month) and unlimited (3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month) packages. All unlimited packages are available with extra discount valid for every purchase.
Also, by request, teams can order deployment of a dedicated node for Cronos zkEVM that would only be available to certain projects. This is a premium-level service of GetBlock for maximum throughput and industry-leading customizability.
Besides Cronos zkEVM, GetBlock users can experiment with RPC endpoints to testnets and mainnets of 50+ blockchains, on both L1 and L2 networks. All mainstream zkEVMs are also available.
Getting started with Cronos zkEVM on GetBlock: Three-step manual
To start using GetBlock’s Cronos zkEVM nodes, new users should follow three simple steps.
Sign in to GetBlock via e-mail, Google Account, MetaMask, and, most recently, GitHub. No sensitive data or credit card information is required for registration.
Navigate to Dashboard, select Cronos zkEVM, and retrieve the mainnet endpoint address for JSON RPC or WebSockets (WS) endpoints.

Integrate the URL into dApp codebase as a private RPC endpoint.
To start using paid packages, users should top up their accounts with card or crypto.
Developers can then use this RPC address instead of public or self-hosted nodes. Additionally, it can be beneficial for regular wallet users interested in enhancing the privacy of their transactions.
GetBlock’s vision aligns with that of Cronos zkEVM, one of the most advanced technologies aimed at expanding Ethereum's capabilities. Cronos’ first ZK network offers a new level of cost-efficiency, speed, and security for all types of dApps, while exploring the untapped potential of zero-knowledge technology.
