Key Technical Facts
Complete Granular Visibility
Covalent has indexed and decoded entire blockchains making it available to the developer via a unified API. Visibility to billions of blockchain data points for every single wallet.
No code solution
Covalent does not require the developer to write indexing code or understand the nuances of blockchain data structures. Approachable to a non-technical user.
Single API for multiple blockchains
Covalent API normalizes the subtleties of different blockchains with the single unified API. Developers need not understand the arcane nuances when porting over to a multi-chain future.
Primer Transformation engine
An in-house transformation language that is inspired by the MongoDB query language. With Primer, developers can select just the fields that they want and further aggregate the data to suit their needs. All of this is done at query time in real-time instantaneously.
Enriched Decoded data
Data is further decoded into a format that is immediately usable by the developer. There’s no need to go looking for ABIs or write custom decoding code.
Decentralized Indexing-Querying middleware
The Covalent network features a fully decentralized storage and compute layer with low fees and high throughput.
Two of the most prominent leaders in blockchain security have lent their expertise to audit $CQT. We have been able to fix all high - level issues and acknowledged that $CQT’s smart contract contains the Centralization of Power (“COP”).

As of Oct 22, 2020 we are Quantstamp verified.
As of Oct 6, 2020 we are CertiK Very High Confidence security level.
