What Blockscope does

Blockscope is a Web3 data platform that enables anyone interested in on-chain data to quickly spin up live or historical data pipelines (for blocks, event, transaction, wallets, token, NFTs, etc). Similar to AWS, users have access to variety of managed software services to analyze, interact with or inject captured data into their apps. Our platform is built around the core idea of off-loading the on-chain data that our customers need for their Web3 apps, and reliably storing them for quick access/use. We offer products on top of the core data we index for our customers. Some of these services are contract analytics, wallet profiling, events & transactions database as a service, push notifications, webhooks, and developer tools. Our mission is to enable everyone to easily access and consume on-chain data!

Blockscope is a Web3 data platform that lets anyone quickly set up live or historical data pipelines for blocks, events, transactions, wallets, tokens, NFTs, and more. We index on-chain data, store it reliably to offload that complexity from customers, and offer products like contract analytics, wallet profiling, push notifications, and developer tools on top of that data.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where the team is based, and it's a major hub for crypto and finance where our users and partners are. Staying here lets us build closely with our customers and the ecosystem.
