Company profile
researched Aug 2026Tatum operates a blockchain infrastructure platform that gives developers and enterprises unified access to blockchain networks through a single abstraction layer. Its product set includes blockchain RPC endpoints covering more than 130 chains, a Blockchain Data API that returns wallet, token, transaction and DeFi data in a standardized format across chains, a crypto price API that resolves token prices by contract address or symbol, and Web3 notification webhooks for transaction alerts and smart contract events. Customers manage applications and API keys through a hosted dashboard, and a free API key tier is available for testing.
A central component is Smart RPC Routing, marketed as the Tatum Gateway, which sits between an application and multiple upstream RPC providers. It supports adding third-party provider endpoints, geographic and load balancing, priority failover, health monitoring and cost-efficient routing at the method level. Optional "power ups" include MEV protection against frontrunning and sandwich attacks, an RPC accelerator that caches recent chain data, intelligent routing of requests to the fastest available data source, and provider downtime monitoring and alerting. Supported networks span major layer-1 and layer-2 ecosystems including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Cardano, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, TON, Tron, SUI and Ripple.
Business model
Tatum sells access to its blockchain infrastructure platform on a subscription basis, with published pricing plans, a promotional discount for two-year commitments, a free API key tier for developers, and a service level agreement. It also runs a partner program and an affiliate program.
Traction
The website features endorsements from a product lead at Binance, the president of Celo, and the VP of engineering at Zengo, and describes Tatum as a partner in the Celo ecosystem for onboarding founders and developers.
Latest developments
Company blog posts describe the launch and rationale of the Tatum Gateway for automated routing, failover and cost control (December 2025), the use of unified orchestration by blockchain foundations (February 2026), and a collaboration with Walrus to decentralize on-chain historical data for developer and AI access (April 2026).

Market position
Tatum positions itself as enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure and an orchestration layer that can sit above other RPC providers, referencing endpoints from Chainstack, QuickNode and GetBlock as routable upstream sources. It cites a top 10% ranking for code and security on CertiK.
Technology
The platform layers a unified API abstraction over many underlying blockchain protocols. RPC traffic is routed through a gateway that performs load distribution, priority failover and per-method routing across multiple provider endpoints, with caching to accelerate responses, routing to the fastest data source, and provider health monitoring. Stated performance characteristics include 200 requests per second, sub-50 ms latency, 99.99% uptime and WebSocket support. Tatum has also described work with Walrus on decentralizing historical on-chain data storage to make it more accessible for developers and AI use cases.
