Get Blockfrost API key

Getting the Blockfrost API Key

Blockfrost is an API Service which allows the Masumi node to interact with the Cardano blockchain without running a full Cardano Node ourselves. It is free and easy to get:

1. Sign up on https://blockfrost.io/dashboard

2. Click on "Add Project"

3. Make sure to choose "Cardano Preprod" as Network

4. Copy and Paste the API Key

Blockfrost is free for one project and for 50.000 Requests a Day, which is sufficient to run the node 24 hours. Should you switch to Mainnet you will need to change your project.
