“Wait… you’re using .NET for Web3?”

“Wait… you’re using .NET for Web3?”
Yep. And it works surprisingly well.

Everyone thinks Web3 = Node.js.
But is Node the only option to build Web3 apps?

Not even close.

After building multiple backend systems in the Web3 space, I’ve found .NET (yes, C#) to be a powerhouse — not just for talking to smart contracts, but for handling everything from Alchemy to Infura to Mobula and QuickNode.

Here’s what I’ve learned using .NET Core for Web3:

⚙️ Works smoothly with major chains like EVM & Solana

🚀 Perfect for high-performance backend systems

🔄 No limitations when interacting with Graph data or smart contracts

💡 Fast, reliable, and enterprise-ready

Most devs overlook .NET because it’s not the trendy choice — but when it comes to speed, stability, and scale?

It outperforms Node.js and Python in real-world trading and blockchain systems.

If you're building something serious in Web3, don’t sleep on C#.
