Portal

The new blockchain
data standard

Stream fast, reliable, and autonomous on-chain data with the Portal — a decentralized retrieval layer designed for high-performance indexing. 225+ networks, zero egress, one endpoint.

0% Error rate
27ms P50 latency
225+ Networks
48.5ms P90 latency
Independently verified Zero egress Open source

0% error rate. 27ms median. Verified by teams who can't afford to guess. While others degrade 9-10x under load, SQD holds steady at 1.8x P50-to-P90 — across 225+ networks, with zero egress cost.


Performance, verified

Independently benchmarked by a top DeFi protocol running production traffic on Base. Error rates, median latency, tail latency, and consistency — all measured.

What you get

Not just fast — deep. Traces, state diffs, zero egress, 225+ networks through one endpoint.

Zero Egress Cost

Download all you want. No surprise bandwidth bills. No metering on data out.

225+ Networks, One Endpoint

One API for every chain. One line on your invoice. EVM and Solana through the same interface.

Traces on >50% of EVM Mainnets

Deep execution traces for debugging, analytics, and forensic investigation. Not an add-on — included by default.

State Diffs on ~1/3 of Networks

Storage-level changes for every block. See exactly what changed in contract state, not just what was called.

Real-Time + Historical

Genesis to head in one API call. No separate providers for historical vs. real-time data.

Open Source & Self-Hostable

The entire stack is open-source Rust (AGPL-3.0). Run the same code on your infrastructure anytime.


What Portal Is (and Isn't)

What Portal Is

  • A decentralized data retrieval layer
  • An open-source, self-hostable platform
  • A streaming HTTP API for batch data
  • Optimized for high-throughput indexing
  • Verified with cryptographic proofs
  • 0% error rate, independently verified

What Portal Isn't

  • Not an RPC replacement
  • Not a subgraph hosting service
  • Not a centralized SaaS data warehouse
  • Not limited to a single blockchain
  • Not dependent on API keys or accounts

How Portal Works

Portal streams data from a decentralized network of worker nodes. Each response is cryptographically signed and validated before delivery.

Private Portal gives you the raw validated data. Need more? Subsquid Labs builds custom pipelines, integrations, and analytics layers on top.

200+ networks

Transfers & Wallets

Decoded transfer events across all ERC-20, ERC-721, and native tokens. Wallet balance tracking, transaction history, and activity classification.

6+ mo. audit trail

Transaction Monitoring

Custom compliance pipelines integrating on-chain data with partner KYC/AML feeds. Flagging, risk scoring, and regulatory reporting on immutable source data.

$8B+ TVL covered

Protocol Analytics

Decoded events from major DeFi protocols — positions, liquidations, swaps, yields. Partner data integration for TVL, risk, and protocol benchmarking.

100% reproducible

Reconciliation & Reporting

Transaction reconciliation against immutable Parquet records. Cost basis calculations, PnL tracking, and journal-ready data exports.

<1s alert latency

Real-Time Alerting

Custom alert pipelines for suspicious transfers, anomalous patterns, and compromised wallets. Failed transaction analysis reveals attack attempts others miss.

Any destination
