Multichain data API with x402 vs Web3 API with auth and Streams.
| Moralis | GoldRush | |
|---|---|---|
| Chain coverage | 30+ | 100+ chains |
| Bitcoin data | Live | Live |
| Pricing model | Compute units | Flat credits |
| x402 pay-per-request | None | Native |
Reviewed against Moralis's site.
GoldRush and Moralis both provide unified multichain data APIs. The differences come down to chain breadth, pricing-model transparency, 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.
Teams that want a transparent flat-credit model, broader chain coverage, Bitcoin data today, and autonomous-agent payment via x402.
Teams already using Moralis Streams for webhook-based event delivery or the Moralis Auth SDK for wallet sign-in.
The differences that matter when you ship multichain data, drawn from each product's public docs and pricing.
Decoded data across 100+ chains versus roughly 30. Both providers cover Solana and Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), and both now support Bitcoin.
One flat credit unit across every endpoint, instead of Moralis's compute-unit metering that varies by call.
Native agent payments with no signup or key. Not advertised on Moralis as of the review date.
While Moralis added Bitcoin support, GoldRush delivers consistent multichain primitives across both chains from day one.
