TATUM Blockchain Accelerator

Tatum 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.
