Top Chainlink alternatives

Cometh
Infrastructure · Polygon
Cometh now presents itself as a DeFi infrastructure provider: one API for custody, staking, trading and payments aimed at businesses. DefiLlama still lists an older Polygon space-game DEX with a small TVL, so the two pictures don't line up.
ScoreScore 6.0 out of 10TVL $38.4K+0.7% - 2
Drpc
Infrastructure · Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon +18
dRPC is an RPC infrastructure provider that routes blockchain requests across many node operators, with a managed cloud, an open-source self-hosted option and tools for chain foundations. It suits developers who want multichain access without running nodes.
ScoreScore 7.7 out of 10TVL — - 3
Aethir
Infrastructure · Ethereum
Aethir is a decentralized GPU cloud network that rents compute for AI and gaming and pays hardware owners in its ATH token. Its main appeal is access to distributed GPUs, but pricing, audits and verified capacity figures are not published on the homepage.
ScoreScore 6.8 out of 10TVL $0 - 4
Getblock
Infrastructure · Bitcoin, XRP Ledger, Ethereum +3
GetBlock is a blockchain infrastructure provider that gives developers access to RPC endpoints and nodes for many networks, so they do not have to run their own. Its main appeal is breadth of chain support and a choice between shared and dedicated nodes.
ScoreScore 6.9 out of 10TVL — - 5
Gelato Network
Infrastructure · Ethereum, Polygon, Fantom +3
Gelato Network began as a DeFi automation protocol and now presents itself as an onchain cloud platform for smart wallets, gasless transactions and custom rollups. It is developer infrastructure, and its main caveat is that pricing and audit details are not published in the material reviewed.
ScoreScore 7.0 out of 10TVL — - 6
Spiderweb
Infrastructure · BNB Chain, Ethereum
Spiderweb is a Web3 project that pitches a decentralized internet data center built from home-run nodes, with CDN, VPN and AI-compute services. It is an early-stage infrastructure play whose audits, fees and team are not published.
ScoreScore 5.0 out of 10TVL — - 7
Pyth Network
Infrastructure · Solana
Pyth Network is a first-party price oracle that delivers market data from exchanges and trading firms to blockchain apps and, through Pyth Pro, to institutions. Its main strength is breadth of publishers and asset classes; the main caveat is that costs and audit detail are not published up front.
ScoreScore 8.0 out of 10TVL $0 - 8
Triton
Infrastructure · Solana, Sui, Monad
Triton One is a Solana-focused infrastructure provider selling RPC access, gRPC streaming and queryable ledger history to developers and trading teams. Its strength is depth and open-source tooling; pricing and service terms need checking before commitment.
ScoreScore 7.9 out of 10TVL — - 9
Demeter
Infrastructure · BNB Chain, HECO, Cardano
Demeter is a managed API platform for Cardano dApps, offering hosted access to four infrastructure services. Its metered pricing and open-source components are useful for teams that want to avoid running their own stack, but uptime and provider dependence remain important considerations.
ScoreScore 7.5 out of 10TVL $284K−0.2% - 10
Free Protocol
Infrastructure · Ethereum, Base, Polygon +1
Free Protocol, branded as rpcfree, offers public JSON-RPC endpoints for Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and Arbitrum without signup or an API key. Its free tier has clear limits, so it is best suited to light use and development rather than workloads that need higher capacity or archive access.
ScoreScore 7.3 out of 10TVL — - 11
Match
Infrastructure
Match-Trader is a trading platform and back-end system sold to forex brokers and prop trading firms, not a DeFi protocol or a retail exchange. Its main appeal is a fast, packaged launch with built-in TradingView charts.
ScoreScore 7.0 out of 10TVL — - 12
Walrus
Infrastructure · Sui
Walrus is a decentralized storage network for large files, built by Mysten Labs on the Sui blockchain and paired with the WAL token. It targets developers who need cheaper, programmable blob storage, but pricing and audit details are not clearly published.
