All 13 providers on Mysten Labs' official Sui gRPC list compared: GraphQL, archival, JSON-RPC continuity after the July 2026 shutdown, streaming, webhooks.
Choosing a Sui RPC provider changed fundamentally in July 2026. Sui's public JSON-RPC endpoints are being decommissioned on July 28, with the JSON-RPC code removed from node software entirely by mid-October 2026, and gRPC became the go-forward interface. "Supports Sui" now means very different things depending on the provider.
This comparison starts from the official Sui RPC provider list that Mysten Labs maintains in the Sui docs, then adds the platform features the official list doesn't cover. All other facts were checked against each provider's public pages on July 23, 2026.
Disclosure up front: we build Inodra, one of the providers below. Where a competitor is the better pick for a use case, we say so. Every claim here is verifiable against the linked sources.
As of July 2026, five providers offer Sui's full data primitives (gRPC, GraphQL and archival): Inodra, QuickNode, BlockPi, Ankr and ZAN. Inodra is the only Sui-only provider among them.
Quick picks by use case:
Sui deprecated JSON-RPC in favor of gRPC and GraphQL. Public JSON-RPC on Sui Foundation full nodes is decommissioned on July 28, 2026, and the JSON-RPC code is planned to be removed from node software entirely by mid-October 2026. Two consequences for provider selection:
sui.rpc.v2. A provider without it has you building on a deprecated interface.The gRPC, GraphQL and Archival columns reproduce Mysten Labs' official provider list (retrieved July 23, 2026). The last two columns come from each provider's own public pages on the same date.
| Provider | gRPC | GraphQL | Archival | JSON-RPC after shutdown | Sui streams/webhooks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inodra | Testnet + Mainnet | Mainnet | Mainnet | Gateway, committed | Warp + webhooks |
| QuickNode | Testnet + Mainnet | Mainnet | Mainnet | Endpoint | Coming soon |
| BlockPi | Testnet + Mainnet | Mainnet | Mainnet | Endpoint | Not published |
| Ankr | Testnet + Mainnet | Mainnet | Mainnet | Endpoint | Not published |
| ZAN | Testnet + Mainnet | Testnet + Mainnet | Testnet + Mainnet | Endpoint | Not published |
| Alchemy | Mainnet | No | No | Endpoint | Not published |
| Dwellir | Mainnet | No | No | Endpoint | Not published |
| GetBlock | Mainnet | No | No | Endpoint | Not published |
Mysten's list also names NodeInfra, Triton One, BlockVision, 01.ro and Natsai (gRPC, partial coverage). Notable absences as of July 23, 2026: Chainstack and Shinami.
Read the table as three tiers: five providers cover all three primitives (Inodra, QuickNode, BlockPi, Ankr, ZAN), a middle tier covers some, and for the rest Sui is one endpoint among many chains. Two patterns stand out:
Sui-only, full data stack
The only Sui-only provider among the five with complete primitive coverage on Mysten's list. Native gRPC (sui.rpc.v2, testnet and mainnet) and GraphQL gateways, a JSON-RPC translation gateway with an explicit continuity commitment, Warp real-time streams (events, addresses, coins and objects over SSE or WebSocket with server-side filtering), managed webhooks with HMAC signature verification, archival history since genesis, and dedicated single-tenant nodes in EU, US and Singapore. One API key covers every interface. Start free with no credit card, and see pricing for paid plans. The trade-off: if you need 40 chains behind one dashboard, a Sui-only provider isn't that.
Biggest ecosystem, Sui features maturing
Full primitive coverage per Mysten's list, a large marketplace of add-ons, and a 99.99% uptime SLA. Sui-specific real-time is behind: QuickNode lists webhooks and streams as "coming soon" for Sui (July 2026). The natural choice if Sui is one chain among many and you already live in their tooling.
Full primitives, quiet on extras
Full coverage on Mysten's list (gRPC on testnet and mainnet, GraphQL and archival on mainnet). Sui-specific platform features beyond the endpoints aren't prominent in BlockPi's public materials. Worth a look if you want full primitives from a multi-chain vendor.
Decentralized infrastructure with full primitives
The decentralization angle is unique among the full-coverage five: Ankr runs a distributed node network with pay-as-you-go pricing, plus documented Sui gRPC, GraphQL and archival on mainnet. Sui-specific real-time features aren't published. Fits teams prioritizing geographic distribution.
Full primitives on both networks
The only provider on Mysten's list with gRPC, GraphQL and archival on both testnet and mainnet, which helps when staging needs the full stack too. ZAN is less established in Western developer mindshare; check latency from your regions.
Solid platform, early Sui surface
Sui gRPC on mainnet plus JSON-RPC endpoints; no GraphQL or archival on Mysten's list yet, and no published Sui real-time products. If you're an Alchemy shop for EVM work it's a convenient extra chain rather than a Sui-first choice.
Flat pricing, bare metal
Sui gRPC on mainnet with transparent flat pricing and dedicated-node options. No GraphQL or archival on Mysten's list. Shortlist Dwellir if predictable per-request cost is your main criterion.
Shared and dedicated access
Sui gRPC on mainnet, shared nodes for development, and dedicated nodes advertising sub-second archive lookups and 1,000+ RPS unmetered. GetBlock's public pages stay high-level; verify interface details for your use case.
Triton One and BlockVision are on Mysten's list (gRPC, partial coverage) and merit a look for specific needs. Shinami isn't on the primitives list, but its Sui gas station (sponsored transactions) and invisible-wallet services solve a different problem; many teams pair it with an RPC provider. Chainstack markets Sui endpoints but doesn't appear on Mysten's provider list as of July 23, 2026.
If your app still talks JSON-RPC, you have two moves, and they compose:
@mysten/sui) and executes them as gRPC underneath, so it survives the mid-October node-code removal.sui.rpc.v2 is the supported interface going forward, and most JSON-RPC methods have direct gRPC equivalents. Our JSON-RPC to gRPC migration guide has the method-by-method mapping with code examples, and the Sui gRPC docs cover the protocol itself.Doing both behind one API key means the deadline stops being your migration schedule.
Is there still a free public Sui RPC endpoint after July 2026? Sui Foundation's public JSON-RPC endpoints are decommissioned on July 28, 2026. The Foundation still runs rate-limited public-good gRPC endpoints; for real workloads, free access now means provider free tiers (for example Inodra's 1M credits/month, no credit card) or running your own full node.
Which providers support Sui gRPC? As of July 23, 2026, Mysten Labs' official provider list names 13 commercial providers with Sui gRPC enabled. Five cover gRPC, GraphQL and archival together: Inodra, QuickNode, BlockPi, Ankr and ZAN.
Can I still use JSON-RPC on Sui at all? Yes, through providers that keep serving the interface. Sui plans to remove JSON-RPC code from node software entirely by mid-October 2026, so endpoint-based JSON-RPC has a shelf life. The durable approach is translation: JSON-RPC accepted at the edge, executed as gRPC underneath, which is how Inodra's gateway keeps existing clients working indefinitely.
What's the difference between an RPC provider and an indexer for Sui? RPC answers live queries against chain state; an indexer transforms history into queryable form (balances over time, event feeds, analytics). Some providers bundle both; see indexer-as-a-service for where the line sits on Sui.
Do I need archival access? If you only read current state and submit transactions: no. If you reconstruct history (wallets showing past activity, analytics, accounting, replaying events), you need archival depth, and support varies from none to full-since-genesis.
