Top Demeter alternatives
- 1
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
Edgevana
Infrastructure · Solana
Edgevana offers GPU cloud, dedicated AI clusters, data-center capacity and networking. Its current website does not explain the Solana liquid-staking product associated with its name, so crypto users should verify which service they are evaluating.
ScoreScore 6.2 out of 10TVL $93.6K−4.3% - 3
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 — - 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
Plastiks
Infrastructure · Cardano
Plastiks provides AI-assisted and human-checked records of waste recovery, with certificates anchored on Cardano. Its published per-kilogram price is clear, but the reliability of each certificate still depends on the evidence supplied and reviewed.
ScoreScore 6.2 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
Chainlink
Infrastructure · Ethereum
Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that delivers real-world data to smart contracts, and its LINK token pays for services and helps secure the network. It is infrastructure rather than an app, so its value depends on how widely other projects use it.
ScoreScore 7.5 out of 10TVL — - 10
Bnbyield
Infrastructure · Hyperliquid L1
Bnbyield, presented as Yield.xyz, provides APIs for apps to offer on-chain yield, perpetual trading and crypto-backed borrowing. Its unsigned-transaction model leaves signing and custody with the integrating app, but product fees and underlying protocol risks still matter.
ScoreScore 7.5 out of 10TVL — - 11
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 — - 12
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.
