Introducing Astra Block: Real-time Blockchain Data
DataStax Astra Block is a new, queryable blockchain data service built on Astra DB that enables developers to stream real-time Ethereum blockchain data to their Web3 applications. The service addresses the challenges faced by Web3 developers in managing blockchain data, such as syncing nodes, decoding from hex to human-readable format, and handling massive amounts of data. Astra Block is always in sync for Ethereum and soon for Bitcoin, Polygon, Solana, Binance, and other blockchains, offering decoded blockchain data updates streamed in a clean, human-readable format ready for applications to consume. It also provides access to the same great capabilities of Astra DB, including multi-cloud regions, private endpoints, IP access lists, Stargate APIs, and more. Developers can request access to use Astra Block with free or pay-as-you-go tiers.
