SQD Portal Closed Beta Instructions

Welcome to the SQD Portal Closed Beta! We appreciate your interest. Below, you’ll find clear instructions on what to do next and what to expect.

What is the SQD Portal?​

The SQD Portal is a decentralized, streaming-based data retrieval solution designed to replace our centralized archives. It provides faster, more reliable, and flexible access to blockchain data.

Key Features​

  • Fully Decentralized: Powered by 1,600+ independent worker nodes.
  • 30x Replication: Redundant data storage for maximum reliability, capable of querying up to 20 million blocks per second.
  • Faster Performance: A new Rust-based query engine now leverages parallelized queries and incorporates numerous query execution performance optimizations, delivering an overall 10-50x performance boost compared to the centralized Archives.

What You Can Do​

1. Explore the Public Portal​

  • Access data for 100+ EVM networks during the closed beta. Public Portal supports filtering only by logs at the moment. We aim to include all full filtering capabilities in the general availability release (reference) and other VMs as well.
  • Note: The current Public Portal rate limit is 20 requests per 10 seconds.
