Does Allium provide JSON-RPC nodes?

No. Allium is a data infrastructure and warehouse provider, distinct from RPC node services. GoldRush includes JSON-RPC on 30+ EVM chains alongside its decoded data APIs.

Which has better data-warehouse delivery?

Allium. Its Datashares (decoded tables into Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks) and Datastreams (Kafka, Pub/Sub, SNS with 1-3s latency) are built for enterprise pipelines. GoldRush focuses on a self-serve REST and GraphQL API.
