The BlockMatrix and EOS Asia teams are proud to announce EOSInfra.io, an enterprise grade Platform as a Service solution for the EOS Mainnet.

A DApp running at scale with millions of requests requires fast response times (milliseconds), stable endpoints and nodes that implement a consistent configuration. As the EOS ecosystem continues to grow, reliable access to EOS chain data is becoming a resource intensive task. DApps are forced to write a bulky routing layer to select the best public endpoints for chain interaction, or they need to setup and maintain their own Nodeos API cluster. This is a costly process for DApp developers, in both time and money. EOS DApps need a better solution so they can focus their time building DApps instead of managing infrastructure and debugging inconsistent API behaviour.

EOSInfra.io have designed their service by collaborating with some of the top DApps in the EOS ecosystem, developing enterprise grade features so that DApps can offer the best possible experience to their customers. Some of the premium features available through EOS Infra include:

  • Private, dedicated infrastructure
  • China specific nodes to ensure maximum connectivity for the region
  • Authenticated API access with client reporting
  • Custom Push Transaction guarantees
  • Consistent node configurations, with best practise setup (e.g. separate read-only nodes)
  • Service uptime/availability SLAs
  • Dedicated support

Since working with these DApps, our team has serviced over 400 million requests per day, powering over 50% of the top 10 EOS DApps. We are also planning to expand our support to other eosio-based chains to help more DApp developers.

The EOSInfra.io team consists of Y Combinator alumni and infrastructure experts that have previously scaled software to handle billions of requests. As EOS Mainnet Block Producers, the team has a deep knowledge of the EOS network, using this to architect an API service with enhanced features, operational guarantees and dedicated support.

For new DApps just starting, EOSInfra.io also offers a free public service known as EOS API Proxy, that automatically selects the closest public Nodeos APIs based on geographic proximity. We have deployed this proxy service to 9 different data centers across the globe, covering Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Oregon, Virginia, Sao Paulo, London, Frankfurt and Sydney. This allows us to serve the best possible user experience to any EOS user, routing them to the nearest and best performing public API endpoints.
