Bitquery Received Investment from Binance
Bitquery received investment from Binance Labs. Bitquery offers a full set of APIs and analytics tools to democratize data access and solve pain points associated with on-chain data.
Binance Labs, the venture capital arm and accelerator of Binance, led an $8.5 million seed funding round for Bitquery as part of its ongoing drive to support innovative blockchain data solution providers. The round was co-led by dao5, with Susquehanna, DHVC, INCE Capital, and angel investors from Google among other participants.
Bitquery will use the funds raised to expand its data coverage to support more blockchains, drive new use cases, and build out its BIT protocol to facilitate real-time data delivery.
“We’re excited to be working closely with the Bitquery team. At Binance Labs, we will continue identifying and supporting innovative data solution providers that allow industry players easy access to accurate on-chain data. We believe that the battle-tested technology of Bitquery and its mission to democratize data access will bring a positive impact to the long-term growth of the Web3 industry.”— He Yi, Co-Founder of Binance and Head of Binance Labs
Bitquery offers a set of software products that parse, index and store blockchain data in a unified way. Its two major product lines are APIs and data analytics tools. Cover over 40 blockchains. In addition, it provides use cases across verticals such as digital assets exchanges, DeFi protocols, government organizations, and more.
APIs:
- Coinpath is a set of API endpoints to trace money from any source and destination. Create money flow graphs and aggregate transfers to addresses.
Digital Asset APIs are crypto-centric and provide indexed information for all major cryptocurrencies, coins, and tokens. It supports visualization of transactions that happened since the genesis block.
DEX GraphQL APIs offer real-time trading data from multiple DEX protocols across different blockchains. Users can build charts, find arbitrage opportunities, analyze DEX markets, and more.
Data analytics tools:
GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs, and a runtime for fulfilling queries with existing data.
Bloxy and Bitquery Explorer are client-side Web applications that offer analytics for more than 40 blockchains. Backed by a multi-dimensional database, Bitquery Explorer can aggregate data to facilitate complex analysis.
Bitquery widgets allow users to view blockchain analytics, dApp, and DeFi data on the website easily.
“Blockchain data demand is growing from all sectors of finance, including traditional financial institutions, enterprises, and even governments. Bitquery’s mission is to enable hassle-free access to blockchain data for everyone. Today, many businesses depend on Bitquery’s data infrastructure. However, building such an infrastructure in a centralized manner stifles innovation that can be achieved through open access to blockchain data. Bitquery is working on a data protocol to solve this problem efficiently, and support more use cases where real-time blockchain data is critical.”—Dean Karakitsos, CEO of Bitquery
“Bitquery is a key player in providing innovative on-chain data analytics tools and APIs. Its data solutions have made blockchain data more digestible and accessible to users. Bitquery’s team has a high commitment to what they are doing and they’ve been constantly developing and upgrading their products for the past five years. We look forward to seeing the team further expand its product suites and build out a decentralized network to better support users’ data and infrastructure needs.”—Danny F., Investment Director at Binance Labs
Bitquery will continue to develop its BIT protocol, a chain-agnostic, and real-time data delivery and transformation protocol. Rather than storing data inside its own network, the BIT protocol has connectors for users to ingest blockchain data through their preferred interface. With the BIT protocol, Bitquery aims to resolve data accessibility challenges.
