Astar Partnership With Covalent
Astar partnership With Covalent! Covalent brings an excellent indexing solution to Astar. This partnership is part of their vision of making Astar the best blockchain to build on. Providing developers with reliable, high-quality data that will allow them to build faster and easier is another step towards reaching that vision.
Future initiatives that will roll out in later stages include:
- Decentralizing the Astar Network data stack for redundancy and validator incentives
- The ability for developers to build their own endpoints in the chain
- Covalent’s analyst mode — enabling developers to write SQL to build bespoke dashboards
Developers now can access Astar mainnet data with Covalent’s Unified API. The data available includes:
- Token balances per address
- Get NFT transactions for contract
- Historical transactions per address
- Get all contract metadata
Covalent brings full transparency and visibility to assets that span over 32 blockchains and is used and trusted by over 27,000 developers and counting! The dataset supports 25B+ transactions, 30,000+ price feeds, and 200,000 smart contracts for querying. A multichain can be enabled in minutes with Covalent’s Unified API by changing the chain ID parameter.
Covalent’s vision aligns with Astars, giving users access to composable, verifiable, permissionless, and trustless data. Our shared vision of Web 3.0 makes us very proud and excited about this partnership and what Covalent enables developers to build on Astar.
