Infura Ethereum
Infura, a Consensys product like its best-known client MetaMask, provides hosted Ethereum JSON-RPC and WebSocket endpoints — including full archive data — reachable over a single URL with an API key, backed by a published 99.9% uptime guarantee. Its free Core plan grants a daily credit allowance across the whole node stack, with paid Developer and Team tiers raising the ceiling, and the same account now reaches more than 40 other networks beyond Ethereum.
