It's time to make the Pro API switch, and it's easier than you think.

We've sent out a few notices, but this is our last newsletter before the July 1 deadline to upgrade to our Pro API service. This also lines up with Etherscan's reductions to their API offerings, making it the perfect time to switch and improve your coverage.

Free Upgrade to Pro API

In our latest blog post we cover the details: how to get a key and which parameters to change, whether you're moving from a Blockscout per-instance API or a provider like Etherscan or Routescan.

Switching is free, and our baseline service stays free for ALL chains we support. Need more calls or a higher RPS? Upgrade to a Builder or Pro subscription.

We just added quarterly and yearly billing for Builder and Pro. Save up to 20% with an annual subscription.

You've seen the AI demos. Viktor does it without you watching.

The AI tool you tried last quarter waited for a prompt, hallucinated a number, then asked if you'd like a summary.

Viktor opened a PR at 2am, rebased it against main, ran your test suite, and posted a note in #eng: "Two flaky tests in payments service, both pre-existing. Recommended merging after fixing them." Then drafted the customer reply for the support ticket the bug created.

That's 619K autonomous actions per day across 20,000+ teams. Not chat replies. Real work shipped to GitHub, Stripe, Linear, Notion, and 3,000+ other tools, from inside Slack and Microsoft Teams.

You don't supervise him any more than you supervise a senior engineer.
