In crypto, every second counts. For platforms serving millions of users, reliability isn\u2019t a nice-to-have – it\u2019s the backbone of trust. That\u2019s especially true for CEX.IO<\/a>, a company that has been at the heart of the industry for more than a decade. For them, every single request to the blockchain matters. And when you\u2019re processing millions per second, there\u2019s no room for limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why CEX.IO turned to NOWNodes.<\/p>\n\n\n

CEX.IO: Building Trust Since 2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

CEX.IO\u2019s story began in 2013, at a time when crypto was still an experiment. Starting with a mining pool, GHash.io, they quickly grew into a major player \u2014 at one point running the world\u2019s largest mining pool. But even then, the team made it clear they weren\u2019t just chasing size. When GHash.io got close to 51% of Bitcoin\u2019s hashrate, they voluntarily scaled back to protect the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mindset shaped the company. Accessibility became a driving principle \u2014 they were the first exchange to let users buy Bitcoin with a credit card, opening doors for everyday people. Over the years, CEX.IO has built a reputation on security, compliance, and a trading environment designed for stability. As the team put it: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThroughout its history since 2013, CEX.IO maintained an impeccable security record with zero hacks.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Today, their mission is to connect centralized and decentralized finance, making it easier for new users to step into crypto while keeping the experience smooth and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n

The RPS Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

But ambition comes with technical pressure. For an exchange that handles high trading volumes and supports multiple networks, infrastructure isn\u2019t just about speed \u2014 it\u2019s about scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is where a hidden challenge emerges. Most node providers put strict limits on how many requests per second (RPS) a client can make. For smaller projects, that might not be a deal-breaker. For a platform like CEX.IO, it\u2019s a bottleneck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the main reasons was the absence of a requests-per-second limit, which is a common restriction among other providers and often insufficient for our needs\u201d<\/em> <\/div>\n\n\n\n

The team explained. Every request carries weight. If even a fraction of them are delayed or dropped, the ripple effects are felt by traders, developers, and users worldwide. This is where NOWNodes comes in!<\/p>\n\n\n

Why NOWNodes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

When CEX.IO looked for a partner to reinforce their infrastructure, they needed more than speed. They needed freedom. NOWNodes<\/a> stood out because it didn\u2019t impose artificial ceilings on traffic. Whether it\u2019s a steady stream or a sudden surge, the requests keep flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, NOWNodes was brought in as a backup, a safety net in case CEX.IO\u2019s own nodes went down. But over time, the relationship deepened. For certain networks like Base and XDC, it became clear that relying on NOWNodes as the main RPC was more efficient than maintaining everything in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the onboarding experience mattered. As the CEX.IO team recalled:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Even when small hiccups came up at the beginning, the support team was quick to respond and customer-friendly, which left us with a positive impression of the platform.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n\n\n

Results: Every Request Delivered<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

The collaboration changed how CEX.IO manages its resources. With NOWNodes handling parts of the load, uptime improved, and internal teams could focus on innovation rather than infrastructure firefighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince integrating NOWNodes, we\u2019ve seen an improvement in application uptime\u2026 NOWNodes enhanced the overall reliability of our blockchain nodes, helping us deliver a more stable experience to our users.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The absence of limits turned into more than just a technical perk \u2014 it became a competitive advantage. Every request goes through, every transaction stays smooth, and user trust remains intact.<\/p>\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

In the world of crypto, every request matters. For CEX.IO, working with NOWNodes meant removing the invisible walls that could slow them down. The result is an ecosystem that runs without compromise \u2014 no limits, no interruptions, just reliable infrastructure powering millions of interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the industry grows, the partnership between CEX.IO and NOWNodes is a reminder that scalability isn\u2019t just about bigger numbers. It\u2019s about building systems where every request, no matter how small, gets the attention it deserves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
