Covalent brings Blockchain Data Transparency & Visibility
Digital assets secured by a blockchain network are on the verge of breakout growth. But there continues to be blind spots everywhere when trying to understand them. There is an urgent and growing need for indexed and queryable data to aide in the transparency and visibility of these assets.
Covalent provides a unified API to bring full transparency and visibility to assets across all blockchain networks. Covalent's proprietary technology enables a "no-code" solution that solves a vast array of use-cases for wallets, exchanges, custodians and taxation amongst others. The API allows easy access to blockchain data that is normalized, unified and granular.
With the summer's DeFi yield farming craze, Covalent has seen exponential growth in the number of API calls it serves everyday to customers. A service like Covalent, with data covering over 200,000 smart contracts, is crucial for DeFi users to keep abreast of their positions and make data-backed decisions.
What to expect next
With the new funding, Covalent is opening up its enterprise offering to all developers. In addition to the current state-of-art Ethereum indexed data, Covalent is expected to expand the data coverage to Ethereum sidechains and other layer-1 blockchains that are currently live.
