FAQ
What is an ICON node provider?
An ICON node provider delivers managed blockchain infrastructure, giving developers instant access to the ICON network without the burden of deploying and maintaining their own nodes. Instead of managing synchronization, infrastructure, software updates, and ongoing maintenance, teams can connect to reliable hosted endpoints and begin building immediately.
What is an ICON API?
An ICON API enables applications to communicate with the ICON blockchain through managed endpoints without operating their own node. Developers can use the API to broadcast transactions, retrieve block and transaction data, query account information, interact with smart contracts, and monitor network activity. API access is the standard approach for wallets, DeFi applications, exchanges, explorers, and other blockchain services.
Should I run an ICON node myself?
Running your own ICON node is not necessary for most projects. Operating a node requires continuous synchronization, software updates, security monitoring, and dedicated infrastructure. These requirements often make self-hosted nodes costly and time-consuming, particularly as your application grows.
What ICON APIs does NOWNodes support?
NOWNodes provides ICON RPC API and Archive mode through reliable, enterprise-grade infrastructure. These services enable developers to broadcast transactions, retrieve block and transaction data, access complete historical blockchain records, query account information, interact with smart contracts, and analyze on-chain activity without maintaining their own ICON nodes.
How do I start using an ICON node?
After logging in to NOWNodes and selecting a plan, navigate to the Dashboard in your account and scroll down the page. There you will find the Add a New Key button. Click it to generate your API key, then use it to connect to the ICON API.
Can I access ICON infrastructure for free?
Yes. You can start with our START plan, which provides access to shared ICON infrastructure with up to 100,000 API requests per month.
