thirdweb Insight: Index, transform and query data with ease
All blockchain apps, such as DeFi platforms and web3 games, require onchain data. They must be able to show assets owned by users or analyze token economics which requires efficient and powerful indexing infrastructure.
If you’re a web3 app builder, you’ve likely come across challenges that stem from the complexity of indexing this blockchain data. Simply, existing indexing solutions are not quick, cheap or reliable enough for many developers needs. As such, many web3 app and game developers decide to build their own indexing infrastructure—which for some is a challenge, and for others is simply impractical.
That’s why we created thirdweb Insight: a way for blockchain developers to index, transform and query onchain data—quickly and reliably.
What is thirdweb Insight?
thirdweb Insight is a fast, reliable and fully customizable way for developers to index, transform & query onchain data. It allows developers to retrieve blockchain data from any EVM chain, enrich it with metadata, transform it with custom logic, and then query the transformed data using REST endpoints.
With thirdweb Insight, there's no need to learn the subgraph framework or deploy your own infrastructure: you just call the API and get the data you need.
Why thirdweb Insight?
In short, thirdweb Insight removes all of the complexity of indexing. Let’s take a look at some of it’s most important features:
Lightning fast queries
thirdweb Insight offers lightning-fast queries that can access any transaction, event or token API data on any EVM chain.
Seamless Indexing
Retrieving, enriching and transforming data has never been this easy. There’s no need for ABIs, Decoding, or RPC management—thirdweb Insight handles the complexity for you.
Customizability
thirdweb Insight also has the power to define reusable custom API schemas, or blueprints, for virtually any transformation. It’s your app, your rules: thirdweb Insight is customizable so you can build something that fits your vision.
Open-source
Finally, thirdweb Insight is also fully open-source. Just navigate to the thirdweb platform, create a template for data transformation and publish it as a blueprint. From there, anyone can use your blueprint to query onchain data. Find the repo on our [Github here]. And for those on our hosted service, access the APIs here after creating an API key.
How does thirdweb Insight work?
While it does a powerful job, the way thirdweb Insight works is quite simple. Essentially it’s capable of four tasks:
- Retrieving blockchain data from any EVM chain
- Enriching the data with metadata
- Transforming the data with custom logic
- Querying the transformed data using REST endpoints.
These processes are combined to create intelligent, open source indexing infrastructure built with and by the community for a common purpose.
Who is thirdweb insight for?
thirdweb Insight is for ecosystems and protocols that want to access reliable and thorough indexing infrastructure with ease.
For example, protocols that want to share infrastructure may find thirdweb Insight useful. Blueprints are valuable to developers that would have previously built their own infrastructure from scratch.
With our experience deploying infrastructure across 2000 EVM chains, our underlying infrastructure makes it possible to index any chain or protocol quickly and efficiently. Put simply, thirdweb Insight is the fastest way for your ecosystem’s developers to query readily available data for apps and chains from day one.
