Google Blockchain Node Engine is shutting down. Here's how to move.

Google Cloud announced it is shutting down Blockchain Node Engine and Blockchain RPC. New nodes stopped on 15 June 2026, and on 15 December 2026 the service shuts down. Google deletes Blockchain RPC endpoints on that date, and you are asked to delete your own nodes. Anything still pointing at them will stop working.

Your options

  • QuickNode, which Google recommends and partners with.
  • A dedicated node from RocketRPC, from $99/mo with a backup node included, if your chain is one we support.
  • Running your own node, if you have the time to maintain it.

Migration checklist

  1. 01

    Provision the new node

    Order a dedicated node for the same chain and node type.

  2. 02

    Update your configuration

    Point apps and services at the new endpoint before 15 December 2026.

  3. 03

    Validate

    Test reads, writes and any WebSocket subscriptions on the new node.

  4. 04

    Delete the old nodes

    Remove your Blockchain Node Engine nodes in the Google Cloud console.

Questions about the shutdown

When does Blockchain Node Engine shut down?

On 15 December 2026, according to Google Cloud's migration guide.

What happens to my nodes after that?

The service stops working on 15 December 2026. Google deletes Blockchain RPC endpoints on that date and asks you to delete your own nodes, so anything still using them will fail.

Can I keep the same endpoint URL?

No. You'll get a new private endpoint and update your configuration.
