[Polkadot/Kusama/Westend] Sidecar API Deprecation NoticeScheduled for Aug 24, 2026 · 2h 0mScheduled

Parity, the maintainer of the Polkadot SDK, is deprecating the Substrate API Sidecar (substrate-api-sidecar)—the service that currently sits in front of Polkadot and Kusama nodes to simplify node access. It has been replaced by the Polkadot REST API, a rebuilt successor that offers the same core functionality. As a result, Blockdaemon will remove the Sidecar API from our dedicated nodes and API effective August 24, 2026. After this date, requests to the Sidecar endpoint will no longer be served. What you need to do The Polkadot REST API is broadly compatible with Sidecar, but the endpoint structure and some response formats differ. We recommend that you: Review the Polkadot REST API documentation and migration guide, and test it against your specific use cases before the cutover date. Migration Guide: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-rest-api/blob/main/docs/guides/MIGRATION.md Update any integrations that currently reference the Sidecar endpoint. References: https://docs.blockdaemon.com/docs/how-to-connect-to-polkadot#4-how-to-connect-via-rest-api https://docs.blockdaemon.com/docs/polkadot-via-polkadot-rest-api We're here to help Your Customer Success Manager is available to walk through the migration and discuss your specific setup, or you can reach our Support Team directly at support@blockdaemon.com.

Blockdaemon Status FAQ

Is Blockdaemon down right now?

PulsAPI checks Blockdaemon every 60 seconds. The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official Blockdaemon status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer.

What should I do if Blockdaemon is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until Blockdaemon recovers.

How do I check Blockdaemon uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Blockdaemon uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 98.30%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for Blockdaemon.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Blockdaemon outages?

PulsAPI polls the official Blockdaemon status page every 60 seconds and usually delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds after detection. That is often faster than someone on your team notices on their own.

Does PulsAPI track individual Blockdaemon components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 20 individual Blockdaemon components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.
