Solana is the highest-throughput chain on our platform, 30 times larger than any other we serve, and we deliver it at the lowest p50 latency we hit on any production chain. The engineering problem the Pump.fun ecosystem created, the numbers from last week, and the four delivery channels that solve it.
Why Stellar custodians, anchors, and payment products use Bitquery as the upstream for their deposit-detection pipelines. The Stellar transfer schema, what each record carries, the API patterns the data supports, and how delivery works at enterprise scale through cloud data dumps to S3, Snowflake, or Google Cloud.
Why crypto data teams use Bitquery cloud data dumps as the upstream for their Tron warehouse ETL. The Tron transfer schema, what each record carries, how customers use it at production scale, and how delivery works to S3, Snowflake, or Google Cloud.
