Covalent Indexes Aurora’s Mainnet Providing Developers with Rich Blockchain Data and more!

Covalent, the leading provider of indexing solutions for blockchains with their Unified API, has integrated with Aurora mainnet. This integration provides developers with reliable, high-quality data that will allow them to build faster and easier. A multichain can be enabled in minutes by simply changing the chain ID parameter.

Other initiatives at later stages will include:

Decentralizing the Aurora data stack for redundancy and validator incentives
Ability for developers to build their own endpoints in the chain
Covalent’s analyst mode which will allow developers to write SQL to build bespoke dashboards

Out of the box Covalent brings full transparency and visibility to assets across over 32 blockchain networks and is trusted by over 27,000 developers. Its dataset supports 25B+ transactions, 30,000+ price feeds, and 200,000+ smart contracts for querying. Covalent believes strongly in a future where users have access to composable, verifiable, permissionless, and trustless data.

Covalent brings value to blockchains in various ways

Developers can pull Aurora mainnet data with Covalent’s Unified API. The blockchain data available includes:

Token balances per address
Get NFT transactions for contract
Historical transactions per address
Get all contract metadata

“We can’t wait to see all the applications that can be built with access to trustless, permissionless verifiable data. Most applications are as of yet unknown and I hope these apps are built on Aurora with the Unified API.” — Ganesh Swami, CEO and co-founder at Covalent

This seamless integration significantly enhances the Aurora developer experience.
