Introducing Engine Cloud

Introducing Engine Cloud — read and write to the blockchain at scale, without the cost or complexity of traditional blockchain API setups.

Why we built Engine Cloud

Engine Cloud is our answer to lowering the barrier to developing high volume applications onchain- with fully-hosted, scalable APIs that let you perform on-chain actions from your backend. No upfront costs. Only pay-as-you-go.

It includes a non-custodial way to manage your wallets and ready-to-go API calls that do things like mint NFTs, transfer tokens, airdrops, sponsor gas for users — on any contract, across any EVM chain.

Engine Cloud includes:

• Server Wallets managed via Vault (our new key management system)
• New Transaction Gateway with retry logic, nonce management, and sub-second speed
• New transaction API improved DX, new typescript SDK integration, and more
• Secure, granular access tokens to work with multiple wallets and teams via vault access tokens and permissions
• No more manual gas top-ups or alerts— we handle that for you by topping through our paymasters from your payment on file.

Learn more about use cases and benefits of using Engine Cloud.

Get Started

1. Create a thirdweb project — this will include a ready-to-go Engine server for you to start making API calls on.
2. Get your Vault Admin Key + Access Tokens — via the dashboard. Learn more about Vault.
3. Create a server wallet — for secure, granular signing and management. You can create one or multiple server wallets.
4. Start calling the API — write and send transactions from your backend using the simple API endpoints. All API endpoints can be accessed via the dashboard or through the API reference.

Engine will be free during beta without charging for any requests until May 19th. You can integrate it to your application today.
