The Beginning
Allium began in late 2021 when Ethan Chan and Cheng Han Lee saw the same data gap emerging in a new domain. Both had spent their careers building and scaling complex data systems—Ethan leading ML and analytics infrastructure at Primer, Cheng Han running payments and cloud systems at Meta and Poynt.
02
The Problem
They knew how reliable data should behave, and blockchain didn't meet that bar. Public blockchains promised openness but delivered chaos—data that was fragmented, inconsistent, and hard to query at scale. Every serious analysis or integration forced teams to rebuild the same brittle plumbing: managing RPC connections, normalizing inconsistent schemas, and reconciling chain reorgs.

Today & Tomorrow
Today, Allium powers analytics and infrastructure for teams like Visa, Stripe, Phantom, Coinbase, Uniswap, and Grayscale—turning blockchain's raw exhaust into usable, trustworthy data.
We're 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're the plumbers of the onchain world: building the pipes so everyone else can build the future. As institutions move onchain, that plumbing matters more than ever.
