The decentralized
data layer
2,000+ worker nodes storing over 1.5 PB of blockchain data across 225+ networks. Fully operational, open source, permissionless.
A permissionless network of 2,000+ nodes powering blockchain data for the entire ecosystem. Not a single server behind an API key. Not a managed service you can't inspect. An open, decentralized data lake anyone can contribute to, verify, or build on.
Network at a glance
Live metrics from the SQD Network mainnet.
Built different by design
Not another centralized API with a decentralization label. These properties are structural.
Permissionless
No gatekeepers. Anyone can run a node, stake tokens, or query the network without approval.
Verifiable
All data is stored as immutable Parquet files. Every byte can be independently verified by any participant.
Revenue-Backed
Portal Pools distribute real USDT revenue from enterprise customers — not just token emissions. Demand drives rewards.
Redundant
2,000+ nodes ensure data availability. No single point of failure, no downtime from individual node outages.
Open Source
Every component — worker software, Portal, smart contracts — is open source and auditable.
Battle-Tested
Petabytes of blockchain data across 225+ networks, serving millions of queries daily in production.
How the network works
Data flows from blockchains through worker nodes and Portal to your application. Revenue flows back through Portal Pools to stakers and workers.
Five ways to join the network
Run infrastructure, stake tokens, or consume data — every role earns or benefits.
Run a Worker
Operate a worker node that ingests, validates, and stores blockchain data as immutable Parquet files. Earn SQD rewards for uptime and data served.
Worker Docs →Delegate to Workers
Stake SQD tokens to high-performing worker nodes and earn a share of their rewards. No hardware required — just pick your workers.
Start Delegating →Stake in Portal Pools
Lock SQD to back Portal capacity. Earn USDT from enterprise fees — up to 50% distributed to stakers, the rest to workers and buyback.
Explore Pools →Run a Portal
SoonOperate your own streaming access point to the decentralized data lake. Self-host the same open-source Rust code used in production.
Coming Soon →Query the Data
Use the Portal API to stream blockchain data into your indexer, dApp, or analytics pipeline. 225+ networks, one endpoint, zero egress.

Four capabilities that will reshape how the world accesses blockchain data.
SQL Query Engine
Query the entire decentralized data lake with standard SQL. Powered by a custom DuckDB extension that fans out queries across 2,000+ worker nodes. Join datasets, merge chains, run analytics — all with familiar SQL syntax.
WHERE block > 19000000 GROUP BY token
Self-Hosted Portal
Run your own Portal instance for any chain — even ones we don't support yet. Plug in your RPCs, index the data yourself, self-host it, and integrate directly into your data pipeline. Full control, no gatekeepers.
Private & Structured Datasets
Go beyond raw blockchain data. Define custom, structured datasets — decoded events, aggregated metrics, domain-specific tables — and onboard them to the network. Run dedicated, private Portal instances with enterprise-grade access control.
AI Agent Access
The entire Portal API is accessible to AI agents via MCP. Agents can query on-chain data, build indexers, and deploy data pipelines — all through natural language. AI-optimized docs and agent skills included.
