Ranked list
- 1
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 — - 2
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 — - 3
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 — - 4
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 — - 5
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 — - 6
Chronicle
Infrastructure · Aurora, Ethereum, Arbitrum +8
Chronicle provides oracle feeds and tokenized-asset verification for onchain finance. Its focus on holdings-level data is useful for institutions, but fees, audit details and implementation specifics are not published.
ScoreScore 6.8 out of 10TVL $0 - 7
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 - 8
Onfinality
Infrastructure · Ethereum, Monad, Hedera
OnFinality provides blockchain infrastructure, including RPC endpoints, dedicated nodes, indexing, and API services for Web3 developers. It offers a range of developer tools, but pricing, security assurances, and the complete network list are not established here.
ScoreScore 6.5 out of 10TVL — - 9
Glacier Network
Infrastructure · Ethereum
Glacier Network is building data infrastructure for AI, including a decentralized vector database, storage integrations and a data-availability layer. Its product set is aimed mainly at developers, but pricing, audits and product readiness need closer scrutiny.
ScoreScore 6.3 out of 10TVL — - 10
Ormi Labs
Infrastructure · Ethereum, Arbitrum, Fuse
Ormi Labs runs a hosted Web3 data layer that indexes and decodes blockchain data so developers can query it through subgraphs and APIs. It suits teams that would rather not run their own indexers, and the main open questions are pricing and security disclosure.
ScoreScore 6.3 out of 10TVL — - 11
Ethgas
Infrastructure · Ethereum
ETHGas is Ethereum infrastructure for buying and selling blockspace commitments and preconfirmations. Its marketplace aims to make transaction inclusion more predictable, but audit work and key operating details remain incomplete or unpublished.
ScoreScore 6.0 out of 10TVL — - 12
Exorde
Infrastructure · Skale, Ethereum
Exorde is a decentralized protocol that pays participants to collect and validate social media data, enriched with AI, for use in finance, research and intelligence work. The idea is clear, but the token's weak price and unpublished audits are points to weigh.
ScoreScore 5.8 out of 10TVL — - 13
Orally Network
Infrastructure · ICP, Ethereum, zkSync Era +1
Orally Network is an oracle and automation suite built on ICP, offering price feeds, data delivery, preprocessing and cross-chain messaging for dApps. Its product range is broad, but fees and independent audit details are not published in the documentation.

Razor Network
Infrastructure · Skale, Polygon, Base +1
Razor Network is a decentralized oracle network that supplies off-chain data to smart contracts, with a presence on SKALE, Polygon and Base. Its token trades at a tiny price on thin volume, so activity and adoption are the main questions.
