Our take
By way of its API and analytics platform, QuickNode makes it faster and easier for developers to build and scale blockchain apps across a growing number of chains including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The 2017-founded startup counts some major companies amongst its clientele – PayPal, Twitter, OpenSea, Coinbase, and Adobe, as well as popular NFT platform Rarible. Considering that infrastructure & protocols is the most dominant segment of the rapidly growing Blockchain technology market, QuickNode’s high profile clientele puts it in a position of great strength.
The company is targeting an expansion into yet more chains, and its acquisition of NFT Analytics platform Icy Tools suggests that it’s also very keen to broaden its product offering. Recent funding will enable the company to accelerate global expansion and further empower the people building the groundwork for a decentralized future.
