API comparison

GoldRush vs Ankr

Decoded multichain data API vs decentralized RPC with Advanced APIs.

Ankr operates a decentralized RPC network and a suite of Advanced APIs (NFT, Token, Query). GoldRush provides decoded multichain data, JSON-RPC, and native x402 pay-per-request. Pick Ankr if decentralization of the RPC layer matters to your stack. Pick GoldRush for the deepest decoded data and an agent-ready payment flow.

Code: Get wallet token balances on BSC

Same task, both APIs. Read top to bottom to see request shape and how much data each call returns.

GoldRush

// GoldRush: same shape, just change the chain
const res = await fetch(
  "https://api.covalenthq.com/v1/bsc-mainnet/" +
  "address/0xd8da.../balances_v2/",
  { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + process.env.GOLDRUSH_API_KEY } }
);

Ankr

// Ankr: ankr_getAccountBalance JSON-RPC method
const res = await fetch(`${process.env.ANKR_RPC}`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    jsonrpc: "2.0",
    method: "ankr_getAccountBalance",
    params: { blockchain: ["bsc"], walletAddress: "0xd8da..." },
    id: 1,
  }),
});

Frequently asked questions

It can be. Decentralization adds resilience and removes a single trust point. Whether that matters depends on your app's risk model. For decoded multichain primitives across 100+ chains plus agent-ready payment flows, GoldRush is the more complete product today.
