At NOWNodes, we continuously refine our infrastructure and user experience to make blockchain access simpler, faster, and more reliable. February 2026 brought several practical improvements focused on payment convenience and dashboard usability. While these updates may appear small on the surface, they address real friction points experienced by developers and teams using our RPC services.
QR Code Payments Now Include the Amount
One of the most practical improvements this month concerns how payments are made inside the NOWNodes dashboard.
Previously, when users paid for services using a QR code, scanning it automatically filled only the recipient address in the wallet. The payment amount still had to be entered manually.
Starting in February 2026, our payment QR codes now include both the address and the payment amount.
When the code is scanned, the wallet automatically populates:
- the recipient address
- the payment amount
This improvement works alongside another important billing update released this month — the new Balance feature. Users can now keep funds directly inside the NOWNodes platform and use this internal balance to pay for services without relying only on direct transactions.
The Balance system brings several advantages:
- manage funds inside the platform and pay invoices instantly
- top up balance in advance and distribute it across multiple invoices
- easily cover small charges or overlimits in crypto
Together, the updated QR payment flow and the new Balance system make managing payments in NOWNodes significantly smoother. Whether you prefer paying directly via QR code or using preloaded funds, the platform now offers a more flexible and streamlined billing experience.
Webhook Announce
Another update this month is the announcement of a dedicated webhooks.
Webhooks play an important role for developers integrating blockchain infrastructure into their applications. They allow systems to automatically receive notifications about important events for example, transaction confirmations or status updates without needing to constantly poll an API.

Dashboard UX Improvements
In January we also made several small but meaningful improvements to the user dashboard.
Over time, we noticed that certain interface behaviors in the personal account could feel inconsistent or slightly confusing. Some screens lacked clarity, while a few interactions behaved in ways that weren’t fully intuitive.
To address this, our team refreshed parts of the dashboard design and improved interaction logic.
The updates include:
- cleaner interface elements
- more consistent navigation behavior
- removal of several unclear or redundant UI elements
The goal was not a full redesign but rather a refinement of the existing experience.
Why This Product Update Matter
The February 2026 updates focus on exactly that:
- smoother payments through improved QR codes
- a more intuitive dashboard experience
Together, these changes make working with blockchain infrastructure a little simpler and more predictable.As always, we will continue refining the platform to ensure developers and businesses can access blockchain data quickly, reliably, and without unnecessary friction.
