We’re excited to announce that Chainstack now supports the Polkadot network, a top-tier, developer-centric multichain platform known for its interoperability, shared security, and parachain architecture.

With this integration, Web3 developers can now leverage battle-tested Chainstack infrastructure to deploy, test, and scale their applications on Polkadot faster than ever—without worrying about costly infrastructure overhead.

Why build on Polkadot?

Polkadot is a layer 0 blockchain protocol designed to enable secure, scalable, and interoperable multi-chain applications. Built for DeFi, governance, and cross-chain services, it offers:

  • Parachains for specialization: Run application-specific chains that scale independently.
  • Interoperability through the relay chain: Connect and secure multiple blockchains in one network.
  • Shared security: Parachains inherit Polkadot’s robust relay chain consensus, reducing attack risk.

For developers, it means greater flexibility, faster time to market, and a growing ecosystem that rewards innovation and performance.

Querying full and archive Ethereum nodes with JavaScript

Whenever we need to query data from the blockchain, we fetch it from a node. An archive node differs from a full node since the first holds the entire history of network transactions. Thus, some queries for older block transactions cannot be fetched easily on a full node. In this tutorial, we will programmatically fetch data from the blockchain, switching between full and archive nodes when necessary.
