👋 Hey Product Hunters!
Kyle from QuickNode’s marketing team here. We’re thrilled to introduce Functions – the serverless platform that’s changing the game for Web3 developers.
What makes Functions special?
• Deploy pre-built solutions for common tasks like gas estimation and block analytics with just one click.
• Easily create and deploy your own functions optimized for blockchain applications.
• Write in Node.js or Python, with Go, PHP, Ruby, Swift, Java, and Docker support coming soon.
• Works perfectly with QuickNode Streams for powerful ETL pipelines.
• Built-in access to web3 packages and support for multiple chains, including Ethereum, Arbitrum Avalanche, and more.
Real-world examples:
• Deploy our gas estimator template to get real-time gas prices across multiple chains.
• Use the block metrics functions to fetch comprehensive insights like active addresses, transaction counts, and more.
• Create custom data transformation pipelines by combining Streams and Functions.
We’ve seen developers cut their ETL pipeline time in half and launch new features in days instead of weeks. One of our beta users even built a real-time NFT analytics tool over a weekend!
Curious what you could build? We’d love for you to take it for a spin. And if you create something cool (or hit any snags), give us a shout. We’re always pumped to see what the community chefs up.

Who hunted Functions ?
Functions was hunted by Kyle Gannon. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
