Does GoldRush have an IPFS gateway?

No. GoldRush is focused on onchain data. For IPFS, Infura and QuickNode offer hosted gateways and pinning.

Which is cheaper for high-volume usage?

GoldRush's credit model is typically more economical for decoded data workloads because a single GoldRush call replaces several raw RPC calls. For pure JSON-RPC throughput, compare credit cost per call on both pricing pages.

API comparison

GoldRush vs Infura

Decoded multichain data vs Ethereum-first JSON-RPC infrastructure.

Infura is one of the longest-running JSON-RPC providers, with deep Ethereum heritage and a Linea-first L2 footprint via ConsenSys. GoldRush is a decoded, multichain data API across 100+ chains. If your app is anchored to Ethereum and the ConsenSys stack, Infura is mature. If you need decoded wallet, NFT, and pricing data across many chains, plus x402 for agents, GoldRush is the right tool.

Why teams choose GoldRush over Infura

The differences that matter when you're shipping multichain data, drawn from each product's public docs and pricing.

Decoded wallet data

Token balances return decoded with symbols, decimals, and USD value. On Infura you call eth_call per token and supply the token list yourself.

100+ chains, not Ethereum-first

Multichain decoded data across 100+ chains versus an Ethereum- and Linea-centric footprint.

Prices and history included

Token prices, OHLCV, and multichain transaction history ship in the same API.

x402 for agents

Autonomous agents pay per request with no signup. Not advertised on Infura.

Best for

GoldRush

Apps that need decoded multichain primitives across 100+ chains, with x402 for agents.

Infura

Apps anchored to Ethereum, Linea, and the ConsenSys and MetaMask developer stack.

Code: Get a wallet's ERC-20 balances on Ethereum

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

GoldRush

// GoldRush, wallet balances on any chain
const res = await fetch(
  "https://api.covalenthq.com/v1/eth-mainnet/" +
  "address/vitalik.eth/balances_v2/",
  { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + process.env.GOLDRUSH_API_KEY } }
);
const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data.items);

Infura

// Infura: JSON-RPC eth_call per token (you supply the token list)
import { ethers } from "ethers";
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(
  `https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/${process.env.INFURA_KEY}`
);
const erc20 = new ethers.Contract(
  "0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48", // USDC
  ["function balanceOf(address) view returns (uint256)"],
  provider
);
const balance = await erc20.balanceOf("0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045");
// Repeat for every token you care about. No built-in token discovery.

Frequently asked questions

For JSON-RPC on supported chains, yes. Swap the endpoint URL and the Authorization header and your existing web3 client keeps working. For higher-level data such as balances, NFTs, and prices, GoldRush replaces what would be many raw RPC calls plus your own indexing.
