    Summary:
  • Streams empowers developers with immediate access to full historical and real-time data from Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain etc.

Blockchain infrastructure provider QuickNode has today announced the launch of Streams, a cutting-edge solution for real-time blockchain data streaming. 

With the innovative venture, QuickNode aims to redefine the standards of speed, reliability, and simplicity in blockchain infrastructure, enabling users to build robust data models instantly. The product will complement the provider’s ETL portfolio by letting users utilize popular programming languages like Javascript, Python, Go, or Ruby to transform payloads from Streams and enrich them with contract data by calling QuickNode endpoints.

Streams empowers developers with immediate access to full historical and real-time data from Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain and others, all achievable within just a few clicks and with guaranteed delivery, opening up a world of possibilities. 

These include furnishing users with the ability to develop powerful trading models and analytics, which are particularly pertinent for those anticipating the potential launch of an ETH exchange-traded fund (ETF) following bitcoin’s recent approval. Streams also gives users access to preset datasets, reducing the technical overhead of data retrieval and making the process straightforward.

Designed to bridge the gap between blockchain data and the conventional tools used for data access, Streams addresses the critical challenges faced by developers and businesses in harnessing vast volumes of on-chain information. Notably, the intuitive solution enhances the development process by substantially reducing operational costs and expediting the time-to-market for blockchain-based apps.

Prior to the public beta launch, Streams underwent months of rigorous testing in a Private Beta phase, ensuring its readiness and robustness for wider use. 

Nick Yushkevich, Director of Product, QuickNode:

“As blockchain data grows, the complexity around extracting, transforming, and loading data into applications has grown.  Streams removes this backend complexity and offers developers a better UX and faster time to market.” 

QuickNode has established itself as a leader in blockchain development platforms, with its proven API infrastructure handling billions of requests daily for numerous top-tier web3 projects and businesses globally. 

The platform’s recent expansion to support Zksync hyperchains further underlines its commitment to enhancing scalability and privacy for all businesses integrating distributed ledger technology.

With the launch of Streams, QuickNode has reaffirmed its desire to advance web3 by providing developers and businesses with user-friendly infrastructure tools they need to launch high-impact decentralized applications (dApps).

Among other offerings, QuickNode grants users the ability to launch a fully managed and customized blockchain tailored to their requirements, known as AppChains. With editable gas fees, chain parameters, and sequencer-level permissioning, these AppChains leverage the security of the main chain while offering a specialized environment engineered for specific use-cases.
