Is now a good time for developers to switch to hosted blockchain infrastructure services?
Luganodes has launched a new remote procedure call (RPC) access service for the TRON, Ethereum, and Bitcoin mainnets. The platform offers a free tier providing 25 million monthly compute units without requiring payment information.
Why it matters
This infrastructure offering lowers the barrier to entry for developers building on the TRON network, which saw 1.10 billion transactions in the third quarter of 2026.
The new service allows access to TRON, Ethereum, and Bitcoin through a single API key, supporting both shared infrastructure and dedicated deployments. Users can provision full and archive nodes, with a promotional 100 million unit allocation available until October 20.
The players
Luganodes
A blockchain infrastructure provider that maintains validator nodes and offers API access across multiple networks.
The details
The service functions by providing standardized Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interfaces—communication channels that allow external software to query and interact with blockchain data. Developers can opt for shared infrastructure to manage costs or select dedicated deployments for improved performance reliability. This system integrates with the existing infrastructure Luganodes has maintained since becoming a TRON Super Representative—a validator node responsible for transaction processing and block creation on the network.
Timeline
July 2022: Luganodes became a TRON Super Representative.
October 14, 2026: Luganodes announced the new RPC access service.
October 20, 2026: Deadline for the 100 million unit promotional offer.
The Tech Race
This launch places Luganodes in direct competition with established RPC node providers that support high-volume chains like TRON. By leveraging its existing status as a Super Representative, the firm aims to capture developers currently handling the network's significant stablecoin transaction volume.
Developers can begin accessing the service immediately without a payment card for the free tier. Traffic is automatically suspended once the monthly compute unit limit is reached, requiring an upgrade to a paid plan to restore connectivity.
The takeaway
Developers should monitor the stability of the free-tier service as usage scales relative to the 25-million-unit cap. Further updates regarding long-term uptime benchmarks are expected following the conclusion of the promotional sign-up window on October 20.
