Transforming Blockchain Data into Clarity
At Allium, we are dedicated to simplifying the complexities of blockchain data, making it accessible, accurate, and fast.
The Challenge of Blockchain Data
Since our inception in late 2021, we recognized that although blockchain data is publicly available, it remains notoriously difficult to comprehend and access. For instance, answering questions like “Who are the largest Ethereum token holders over time?” typically necessitates a full engineering effort to manage RPC nodes, process extensive blockchain histories, and execute intricate SQL queries.
Optimization Challenges
Historically, blockchains have been designed for efficient Writes, with less focus on Reads, complicating the extraction of data. This design prioritizes transaction speed and fault tolerance, yet it hinders reliable data retrieval.
Expertise in Data Manipulation Required
As Tim Roughgarden, a Columbia Professor, aptly noted, “Blockchains are (virtual) computers, not databases.” This complexity, coupled with the diverse use cases and fragmented data schemas, necessitates profound domain knowledge to convert complex technical outputs into comprehensible data regarding tokens, NFTs, stablecoins, and DEXs.
Our Solution
Allium streamlines this process by ingesting, sanitizing, and standardizing data from over 100 blockchains, amassing petabytes of information that grow exponentially.
Join Us in Revolutionizing Blockchain Data
Our mission parallels that of Google and Bloomberg in organizing vast datasets, as we strive to index blockchain data for the benefit of the industry. We are excited to support pioneers in this space and contribute to the evolution of blockchain analytics.
