Key Takeaways: * Blockchains store data, but aren’t built for querying * Indexing turns raw data into structured, usable datasets * Without indexing, analytics doesn’t scale * Modern stacks separate ingestion, indexing, and querying * Batch = historical accuracy, streaming = real-time data * AI systems rely on indexed, model-ready data Blockchain indexing is required because
Most teams working with blockchain data eventually discover the same thing: analytics doesn’t come from a single tool, it comes from a stack. A blockchain analytics stack is a pipeline that transforms raw blockchain data into structured, queryable datasets. It includes layers for data ingestion, decoding, indexing, storage, and
TL;DR * Agent economies are already emerging * Identity (ERC-8004) and payments (x402) solve trust and transactions * But agents still lack reliable onchain data * Without structured data, agents make silent, compounding errors * Onchain data is the limiting factor for scaling autonomous systems in crypto 💡What is the agent economy? The agent
💡Institutional-grade blockchain data refers to onchain data that is structured, auditable, and reproducible, enabling its use in financial reporting, compliance, trading, and risk management. TL;DR Institutional-grade onchain data must be: * Auditable (full data lineage) * Standardized (consistent schemas across chains) * Complete (full historical coverage) * Traceable (across entities and systems) * Explainable
Blockchain data infrastructure is increasingly used by institutions, not just crypto native teams. Banks, fintech companies, trading firms and compliance platforms now rely on onchain data to power production systems, risk monitoring, analytics and payment infrastructure. As this shift occurs, the expectations placed on blockchain data providers are changing. Institutional
As blockchain networks evolve into financial infrastructure, access to reliable, normalized onchain data becomes essential. For ecosystems targeting institutional adoption, the ability to measure activity, track capital flows, and identify key participants is critical to operating and competing at scale. Aptos, a production-grade Layer 1 built for performance and security,
As it becomes increasingly possible to use AI agents to create actual, working products, teams building for the crypto industry must find the right tools to give their agents enough reliable data. Because even though LLMs are incredibly advanced, they’re not actually able to parse and use raw blockchain
Crypto applications run on blockchain technology, but they are really built on data. Every wallet balance, trade, liquidation, NFT mint and protocol interaction ultimately depends on how the raw blockchain execution is captured and interpreted. We call that system crypto data infrastructure. Crypto data infrastructure is the system that transforms
Crypto transaction monitoring is the continuous analysis of onchain activity to detect risk, fraud and possible compliance issues — and it operationally differs from traditional financial transaction monitoring. Blockchains are public, immutable ledgers that allow you to see every transaction, but there’s a big difference between seeing how pseudonymous transactions

Incubated by Coinbase, it serves as the onchain rails for products used by millions—from Base Chain itself to the new Base app. Behind those products is a
Contributors: Soon Guan Tan (Data Analyst, Allium), Soo Hyung Choe (Data Analyst, Allium), Jackie Zhang (Head of Data Science, Uniswap Foundation) Summary When a user swaps on Ethereum, the transaction often passes through multiple intermediaries (wallets, meta-aggregators, solvers, aggregators) before reaching liquidity pools. Each layer serves a purpose, but the
