API comparison

GoldRush vs Moralis

Multichain data API with x402 vs Web3 API with auth and Streams.

GoldRush and Moralis both provide unified multichain data APIs. The differences come down to chain breadth, pricing-model transparency, real-time mechanics, and agent readiness. GoldRush ships native x402, a transparent credit model, and JSON-RPC across 30+ EVM chains. Moralis is well-known for its Streams webhook product and the Moralis Auth SDK.

Why teams choose GoldRush over Moralis

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

Broader chain coverage

Decoded data across 100+ chains versus roughly 30. Both providers cover Solana and Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), and both now support Bitcoin.

Transparent credit model

One flat credit unit across every endpoint, instead of Moralis's compute-unit metering that varies by call.

x402 pay-per-request

Native agent payments with no signup or key. Not advertised on Moralis as of the review date.

Bitcoin data available today

While Moralis added Bitcoin support, GoldRush delivers consistent multichain primitives across both chains from day one.

Best for

GoldRush

Teams that want a transparent flat-credit model, broader chain coverage, Bitcoin data today, and autonomous-agent payment via x402.

Moralis

Teams already using Moralis Streams for webhook-based event delivery or the Moralis Auth SDK for wallet sign-in.

Code: Get all token balances for a wallet 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);
Moralis
// Moralis: getWalletTokenBalances
import Moralis from "moralis";
await Moralis.start({ apiKey: process.env.MORALIS_API_KEY });
const res = await Moralis.EvmApi.token.getWalletTokenBalances({
  chain: "0x1", // hex chain id for Ethereum
  address: "0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045",
});
const tokens = res.toJSON();
