Strengths and weaknesses
Pros	100+ supported blockchains Free tier includes 30M compute units monthly Enterprise SLAs reach 99.995% availability RPC, indexed data and wallet APIs share one platform	Serves over 4 billion requests daily across 130+ chains and 232 networks NodeCore routing engine is fully open-source for self-hosted deployments Underlying network aggregates over 60 independent node providers across 8 global clusters Entry-level paid cloud tier starts from $10 with pay-as-you-go overage
Cons	Applications face centralised provider and outage exposure Proprietary APIs can increase vendor lock-in Pay As You Go charges scale with compute usage Automated agent wallets add transaction-control risk	Experienced global request timeouts and errors during an infrastructure outage in March 2026 Upstream DNS provider failure caused downtime on lb.drpc.live in January 2026 Relies on third-party node providers whose individual performance can fluctuate
Best for	Multichain application teams, Solana developers, Account-abstraction products	Teams needing open-source self-hosted RPC, Multichain dApps routing high traffic, Foundations needing public node setups
