Migrating from QuickNode to Moralis

Moralis is a drop-in alternative to QuickNode. Moralis combines RPC node access, an enriched Web3 Data API, and real-time Streams behind a single API key — so you can replace QuickNode’s Token & NFT API add-ons, Streams, and QuickAlerts, and consolidate your RPC traffic too. This page maps the QuickNode surface to Moralis method-by-method so the swap is mostly search-and-replace.

QuickNode delivers blockchain data through RPC plus marketplace add-ons — most notably the Token and NFT API v2 bundle (the qn_* RPC methods), Streams, and QuickAlerts. Moralis delivers the same data through a first-party REST Web3 Data API and Streams, with no add-on bundles to enable per endpoint. Field names differ, but the resource shapes line up.

Core API JSON-RPC endpoints	Moralis RPC Nodes

Endpoint details

Each section shows the QuickNode call, the Moralis URL(s) that replace it by chain, and a runnable example. QuickNode’s qn_* methods are JSON-RPC calls against your QuickNode endpoint URL with the relevant add-on enabled; the Moralis equivalents are plain REST calls.

Token balances by wallet

QuickNode: qn_getWalletTokenBalance (Token API v2)

Chain	Moralis Equivalent	Moralis URL	Documentation
EVM	Get Native & ERC20 Balances	`https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/wallets/:address/tokens`	Documentation
Solana	Get Portfolio (native + SPL)	`https://solana-gateway.moralis.io/account/:network/:address/portfolio`	Documentation

# QuickNode (Token & NFT API v2 add-on enabled on your endpoint)
curl "https://your-endpoint.quiknode.pro/$QUICKNODE_TOKEN/" \
  -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"qn_getWalletTokenBalance","params":[{"wallet":"0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045"}]}'

# Moralis
curl "https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/wallets/0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045/tokens?chain=eth" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $MORALIS_API_KEY"

Notes: Moralis returns balance, decimals, USD price, USD value, and token metadata (symbol, name, logo, verified flag, spam flag) in one call — no separate metadata lookup.

NFTs by wallet

QuickNode: qn_fetchNFTs (NFT API v2)

Chain	Moralis Equivalent	Moralis URL	Documentation
EVM	Get NFTs by Wallet	`https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/:address/nft`	Documentation
Solana	Get NFTs by Wallet	`https://solana-gateway.moralis.io/account/:network/:address/nft`	Documentation

# QuickNode
curl "https://your-endpoint.quiknode.pro/$QUICKNODE_TOKEN/" \
  -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"qn_fetchNFTs","params":[{"wallet":"0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045","perPage":40,"page":1}]}'

# Moralis
curl "https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045/nft?chain=eth&format=decimal&normalizeMetadata=true&media_items=true" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $MORALIS_API_KEY"

Notes: In Token & NFT API v2, qn_fetchNFTs no longer returns provenance or currentOwner (those moved to separate calls). Moralis returns normalized metadata, hosted media previews, and a possible_spam flag inline.

Verify NFT ownership

QuickNode: qn_verifyNFTsOwner

Chain	Moralis Equivalent	Moralis URL	Documentation
EVM	Get NFT Owners by Token ID	`https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/nft/:address/:token_id/owners`	Documentation

Notes: qn_verifyNFTsOwner confirms a wallet holds specific tokens; the Moralis owners-by-token-id endpoint returns the owner set for a token, and Get NFTs by Wallet can be filtered by contract for the inverse check.

NFT transfers

QuickNode: qn_getTransfersByNFT

Chain	Moralis Equivalent	Moralis URL	Documentation
EVM	Get NFT Contract Transfers	`https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/nft/:address/transfers`	Documentation
EVM	Get NFT Trades by Token	`https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/nft/:address/:token_id/trades`	Documentation

Token & wallet transactions

QuickNode: qn_getWalletTokenTransactions

Chain	Moralis Equivalent	Moralis URL	Documentation
EVM	Get Wallet History	`https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/wallets/:address/history`	Documentation
EVM	Get Decoded Wallet Transactions	`https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2/wallets/:address/history`	Documentation

Notes: Moralis Wallet History returns native, ERC20, NFT, swap, and contract activity as one decoded, chronological feed — broader than the token-only view from qn_getWalletTokenTransactions.

Streams & QuickAlerts → Moralis Streams

QuickNode: Streams (data feeds) and QuickAlerts (webhooks)

Feature	Moralis Equivalent	Documentation
Address activity events	EVM Streams	Documentation
Contract / log events	EVM Streams	Documentation
Solana account events	Solana Streams	Documentation
Stream management API	Streams API Reference	Documentation

# Moralis Streams — create one stream, then attach many addresses to it
curl -X POST "https://api.moralis-streams.com/streams/evm" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $MORALIS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "webhookUrl": "https://your.app/webhooks/moralis",
    "description": "Wallet activity",
    "tag": "wallet-activity",
    "chainIds": ["0x1", "0x2105"],
    "includeNativeTxs": true,
    "includeContractLogs": true
  }'

Notes: Both QuickNode Streams and Moralis Streams deliver real-time on-chain data over HTTP webhooks with retries and address management. Moralis Streams adds ABI-decoded contract events and smart-filter expressions on top of the address-activity feed.

QuickNode Functions (serverless compute) and Key-Value Store have no direct Moralis equivalent — Moralis is a data and streaming platform, not a compute host. Keep that logic in your own backend or a function host, and call Moralis APIs from it.

Chain coverage

QuickNode supports 75+ chains including EVM networks, Solana, and Bitcoin. Moralis covers a comparable footprint across EVM, Solana, and Bitcoin — see Supported Chains. Before cutover, diff the chains you’ve configured in QuickNode against the supported list and flag any gaps.

Migration checklist

Get an API key — Get your API key.
Map your call sites — replace each qn_* method with the REST equivalent above. Field names differ; most teams write a thin response adapter.
Drop the add-on bundles — capabilities that required enabling the Token & NFT API v2 (or other Marketplace add-ons) are first-party in Moralis, available on one key.
Move Streams / QuickAlerts to Moralis Streams — create one Stream per event class and attach addresses dynamically.
Verify chain coverage — diff your QuickNode chain configuration against Supported Chains.
(Optional) Move RPC traffic — point your JSON-RPC calls at Moralis RPC Nodes.

Beyond QuickNode: what Moralis adds

Once migrated, teams commonly adopt Moralis endpoints that QuickNode covers only via add-ons or not at all:

Wallet PnL — realized and unrealized PnL per wallet. See Wallet PnL Summary and Wallet PnL by Token.
Wallet Net Worth — full USD net worth in one call. See Wallet Net Worth.
DeFi positions — protocol positions with USD value and breakdown. See Wallet DeFi Positions.
Token discovery — Trending Tokens, Top Gainers, Top Losers, and Filtered Tokens.
Token holder analytics — Token Holder Stats and Historical Token Holders.
NFT discovery — Top NFT Collections by Market Cap and by Trading Volume.
