01
The Beginning
Allium began in late 2021 when we saw the same data gap we had seen throughout our careers emerging in a new domain. We had spent our careers building and scaling complex data systems. Ethan led ML and analytics infrastructure at Primer, and Cheng Han ran payments and cloud systems at Meta and Poynt. We recognized that as finance moved onchain, the industry would need a true system of record to make sense of it all.
02
The Problem
We knew how reliable data should behave, and blockchains did not meet that bar. Public blockchains promised openness but delivered chaos. Data was fragmented, inconsistent, and impossible to rely on as a system of record. Every serious analysis or integration forced teams to rebuild the same brittle plumbing, managing RPC connections, normalizing inconsistent schemas, and reconciling chain reorgs, just to answer basic questions with confidence.
03
The Solution
We built Allium to become the system of record for onchain data. We ingest raw blockchain events, verify and reconcile them, and transform them into consistent, finance-ready datasets that institutions can trust. Instead of every team rebuilding the same infrastructure, we provide a canonical source of truth that is standardized, queryable, and auditable, so teams can focus on decisions and products, not data wrangling.
04
Today & Tomorrow
Today, we power analytics and mission-critical infrastructure for teams like Visa, Stripe, Phantom, Coinbase, Uniswap, and Grayscale, turning blockchain’s raw exhaust into usable, trustworthy records of economic activity.
We are a 50+ person team of engineers and operators obsessed with getting the data right and not afraid to get our hands dirty doing it. We like to joke that we are the data plumbers of the onchain world, laying the pipes and the ledger so everyone else can build the future of finance.
As institutions move onchain, having a reliable system of record is not optional. It is foundational.
