Pinknode is a node-as-a-service platform specialized in providing quality API endpoints and node operation services to the users in the Polkadot ecosystem. Our mission is to support the Polkadot protocol in achieving its vision of a multi-chain future through providing easy-to-use, reliable, and scalable infrastructure services which removes an entire layer of complexities for developers to start building on Polkadot/Substrate.
We launched our MVP in June 2021 offering free API endpoint access to users to both Polkadot and Kusama mainnets and testnets. We've served more than 200 million requests through our users' custom endpoints and public endpoints. You may begin utilizing our endpoints by signing up for an account or through our public endpoints listed here.
In our Phase 1 proposal, we will be detailing our plan to enhance our front-end for better user experience, management and monitoring capabilities. With these planned enhancements, our users will be able to:
easily manage their project keys
uncover valuable insights into their usage methods and patterns, which will positively influence the development of their dApp
collaborate effectively with other team members to manage infrastructure needs
This will help advance the developer team’s operational capabilities by providing greater ease of use, visibility, and enhanced account management.
