Luganodes opens TRON RPC access with 25M free monthly compute units
Luganodes has opened RPC access to TRON developers as part of a three-network service with a standard free allowance of 25 million compute units a month.
Summary
- Luganodes launched RPC access for TRON, Ethereum, and Bitcoin using one API key.
- Developers receive 25 million free compute units monthly, with paid plans starting at $49.
- Free accounts stop serving requests once their monthly allowance runs out.
- Dedicated deployments offer full and archive nodes separately from shared subscriptions.
Luganodes announced the service on Oct. 14, listing TRON, Ethereum, and Bitcoin mainnet access through one API key. Paid subscriptions start at $49 a month, according to the company's launch notice.
The provider says free accounts need no payment card and stop serving traffic once the monthly allowance runs out. Its launch page offers 100 million compute units for the first month to users signing up by Oct. 20, with other free-plan limits unchanged.
Luganodes RPC prices requests by method
In its launch notice, Luganodes says each supported method has a published compute-unit cost. The company describes its standard subscriptions as shared infrastructure and offers separate dedicated deployments with full and archive nodes.
On its TRON staking page, the operator identifies itself as a Super Representative active since July 2022. TRON's network documentation says 27 elected Super Representatives secure its production network.
The provider's staking page lists a 5% commission and says 95% of rewards go to voters. Those are staking terms published by Luganodes, separate from the RPC subscription prices in its launch announcement.
TRON developers have several hosted access options
TRON's developer documentation lists Ankr, GetBlock, QuickNode, NOWNodes, Chainstack, TronQL and Alchemy among third-party mainnet providers. The directory describes different access models, including shared nodes, dedicated nodes, and services requiring API keys.
Chainstack's listed coverage includes the Nile testnet as well as mainnet. Most providers in the directory are listed for mainnet alone, according to the network guide, which directs developers to check individual services for current coverage.
For testing, the same guide distinguishes Shasta from Nile. Shasta supports learning and pre-production checks, while Nile gives developers access to upcoming features, parameter changes, and governance proposals. A private network is another documented option for local development.
TRON's RPC provider guide describes hosted services as an alternative to running a full node. Self-hosting requires hardware, bandwidth, and operating work, while hosted access uses a provider's subscription limits and service commitments.
The guide recommends comparing daily request allowances, peak request rates, supported interfaces, node locations and historical-state access. It specifically asks developers to check whether a provider supports TRON-specific calls, including account-resource queries, instead of only a generic interface.
TronGrid, the network's hosted node service, provides FullNode, SolidityNode, JSON-RPC and gRPC access, according to the guide. Its listed networks include mainnet, Shasta and Nile, with production traffic requiring an API key.
Ethereum tools cover part of TRON's interface
TRON's API reference describes JSON-RPC as a way to reuse Ethereum development tools, including ethers, viem and Web3.js. The documentation cautions that some Ethereum methods have no matching TRON implementation or behave differently because the networks use different underlying mechanisms.
The reference says JSON-RPC covers only part of TRON's node capabilities. Applications needing other functions may need the native HTTP or gRPC interfaces alongside it.
For transaction submission, the documented HTTP process builds an unsigned transaction, signs it locally, and broadcasts the signed result. TRON's guide directs developers handling confirmed balances or deposit crediting to solidified-state interfaces.
For operators running their own nodes, the reference says HTTP and gRPC are enabled by default, while JSON-RPC must be switched on manually in the node configuration.
TronGrid's indexed services provide account histories, token-transfer histories and contract events, according to the API reference. Tronscan maintains a separate interface for explorer data and aggregate statistics.

Stablecoin activity supplies the network context
TRON DAO Research recorded $2.2126 trillion in stablecoin settlement during the third quarter, as crypto.news previously reported in its coverage of quarterly network activity. The report put total transactions at roughly 1.10 billion and network fees at $701.4 million.
At the end of the quarter, combined USDT and USDD supply stood at $93.88 billion, according to the same research. The figures describe different measures, with settlement counting transfers over a period and supply recording outstanding tokens at a date.
Messari's second-quarter figures, covered on Aug. 11, put USDT transfers at $2.1 trillion and TRON's stablecoin capitalization at $89.2 billion. USDT accounted for $87.9 billion of that balance, compared with $78.7 billion on Ethereum at quarter-end.
The same Messari figures put average daily USDT transfers at $22.8 billion and the network's share of tracked USDT supply at 47.6% at the end of June.
On Sep. 24, MeshWallet announced a $10 million private funding round for its TRON-based USDT wallet. The Tallinn-based company said private investors and small family offices led the funding, which would support product development and expansion of its user base.
MeshWallet says its wallet handles transfer charges in USDT, letting customers send the stablecoin without keeping a separate TRX balance. The company described the product as self-custodial and said it planned new features for retail and business users.

Broadcom (AVGO) : AI Growth, Fund Positioning, and Guarantee Risk
Broadcom (AVGO) recently fell with the semiconductor sector, closing down 10.43% at $291.53 on November 5. The shares rebounded more than 4% in premarket trading on November 6. Concerns that election results could lead to tighter AI rules and slower data center approvals contributed to a broad sell-off, with a semiconductor index falling about 12%. The move appears tied mainly to sector sentiment and policy concerns, with no clear company-specific negative catalyst identified.
Institutional trading and AI growth expectations are also in focus. ARK funds sold about $134 million of Broadcom shares over two sessions while adding to SpaceX. Citi maintained its Buy rating and projected that Broadcom’s AI semiconductor revenue could reach $115 billion in fiscal 2027, roughly doubling year over year. Broadcom had approximately $179.2 billion in signed contracts as of the prior quarter, while analysts estimated fourth-quarter AI chip revenue at about $21.7 billion. These forecasts will need to be tested against future results.
Contingent guarantees are another point for investors to monitor. Broadcom is providing guarantees tied to Anthropic’s AI rack-leasing arrangement, involving about $29 billion in the first phase and a second-phase plan of up to $43 billion. Banks plan to issue $21 billion in bonds to support related chip financing. The guarantee amounts are not the same as debt already incurred, but they add a potential risk to assess. Broadcom is scheduled to report its next quarterly results on December 9, when management’s outlook for fiscal 2027 AI demand will be closely watched.

Netflix (NFLX) Stock Rebounds: Insider Sales, Advertising, and Growth Plans
Several Netflix executives sold company shares in early November 2026. Co-CEO Theodore Sarandos sold 27,312 shares from November 3 to 4, valued at about $1.81 million. CFO Spencer Neumann sold shares worth approximately $612,000. Co-CEO Gregory Peters realized about $1.69 million, including transactions related to tax withholding. Chief Legal Officer David Hyman and director Bradford Smith also reduced their holdings. Executive sales can have different reasons and should not be viewed on their own as a measure of the company’s outlook.
After recent pressure, Netflix shares rebounded more than 4% around November 4. Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital Management allocated about 5% of its portfolio to Netflix, while new AI features and positive views on the company’s technology prospects helped sentiment. Netflix reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $13.44 billion and earnings per share of $0.87, both above expectations, though its forward outlook remains a key focus.
Advertising is one of Netflix’s main challenges. Delays to key ad product features led the company to reduce its annual advertising revenue outlook from $3 billion to $2.7 billion. Viewer engagement has also faced pressure from changes in content appeal and competition from platforms such as YouTube. Netflix is pursuing growth through live events, gaming, and advertising, with plans to expand its ad-supported offering to 15 markets while adjusting its workforce by about 6% to improve margins. Investors may want to monitor advertising growth, engagement, and profitability. This article is for informational purposes only and is not investment advice.

Carvana Earnings: Record Sales, Strong Profit, and Insider Share Sales
Carvana reported third-quarter net revenue of $8.04 billion, up 42.4% year over year and above the $7.7 billion market estimate. Retail units sold reached a record 217,385, an increase of 39.4%. Net income rose to $483 million, while adjusted EBITDA reached a record $800 million, reflecting gains in both revenue and profitability.
Management expects full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA to reach the upper end of its $2.7 billion to $3.0 billion range. Needham maintained its Buy rating, named Carvana a top pick in transportation technology, and set a $100 price target. Strong results and guidance have drawn investor attention, though continued performance will depend on sales, margins, and operating costs.
Insider transactions are also on investors’ radar. A regulatory filing indicates that CFO Mark Jenkins planned to sell 63,800 shares on November 2, 2026, valued at approximately $4.35 million. Since August, he has planned sales totaling 191,300 shares. An executive share sale alone does not determine a company’s outlook; investors may also consider earnings, cash flow, and future guidance.

FCEL Stock: Data Center Opportunity, Manufacturing Costs, and Lawsuit Risk
FuelCell Energy (ticker: FCEL) provides fuel-cell power solutions. Growing electricity demand from AI data centers could create new business opportunities, while proposed pauses on new data center approvals in some areas have raised concerns about project timelines. A 75-megawatt power project may be affected, and FCEL shares recently fell as much as about 17% in a single session amid policy concerns.
FCEL signed an agreement with Fit Energy to provide up to 380 megawatts of fuel-cell power solutions. Its backlog is approximately $3.6 billion, with about 97% of its sales pipeline related to data centers. The company also drew the second installment under a $49 million financing arrangement backed by an export credit agency, supporting a green energy project and clean-energy exports. Recent leadership changes include Matthew Latino becoming CFO, digital infrastructure executive Peter Hopper joining the board, and John Dansby leading manufacturing scale-up. Converting orders into revenue will depend on production capacity, costs, and project execution.
FCEL reported third-quarter revenue of about $33 million, down approximately 29% year over year, and a net loss of roughly $45.3 million. Product costs and manufacturing overhead for the Fit Energy agreement exceeded the contract pricing, resulting in an approximately $17 million contract impairment charge. Securities class-action allegations concern disclosures about manufacturing capacity and costs; the case remains in the legal process. The deadline to seek appointment as lead plaintiff is November 10, 2026. FCEL’s growth opportunities come with execution, financing, and litigation risks.

PFE Stock: Pfizer’s Q3 2026 Earnings, Business Strategy, and Dividend Outlook
PFE is the New York Stock Exchange ticker for Pfizer Inc. In the third quarter of 2026, Pfizer reported revenue of $16.58 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $0.87, both above market expectations. The company raised its full-year revenue outlook to $62 billion–$64 billion and its adjusted EPS guidance to $2.95–$3.05, pointing to stronger performance than previously expected.
Although demand for COVID-related products continues to decline, Pfizer’s non-COVID business is growing. Third-quarter sales reached $720 million for the cancer drug Padcev and $2.52 billion for Eliquis, up 25% year over year. Revenue from newer and acquired products rose 32%. Pfizer is expanding its oncology pipeline, entering the weight-loss treatment market through its acquisition of Metsera, and targeting approximately $9.7 billion in net cost savings by 2029. Cecile Guegan has also taken over as chief financial officer.
Investors are also watching Pfizer’s dividend and legal developments. The company declared a cash dividend of $0.43 per share, with an ex-dividend date of November 6, 2026. Analysts raised some earnings estimates and price targets following the quarterly results. Pfizer also faces ongoing legal scrutiny related to statements about COVID vaccine safety, while its subsidiary Mylan has sued Novo Nordisk over generic-drug patent issues involving Wegovy. Pfizer’s outlook depends on new-product growth, cost savings, patent matters, and litigation developments. This article is for informational purposes only and is not investment advice.
