Coinbase Ventures and Binance Labs backed Covalent, a Web3 data provider and Unified API Key creator, today announced a significant milestone with blockchain Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution Boba Network: Covalent will serve as the first data provider to offer full data visibility in all four of Boba’s L2 mainnet and testnet chains across Avalanche, Ethereum, Moonbeam and the BNB chain. This partnership comes at a time when L2 activities within the larger Web3 ecosystem continue to accelerate. A recent report from Covalent tracked a 15 percent increase in the number of API calls from the L2 chains it has indexed. Boba Network’s L2 solution is the latest addition to Covalent’s mission to provide full visibility into billions of valuable blockchain data points. Covalent offers the widest breadth of blockchain data available, supporting 25+ mainnets and 50+ testnets combined. Alongside expanding into L2 solutions, Covalent is bringing in app chains (application-specific blockchains) to further add depth, granularity and a wider metrics pool for users, most recently via play-to-earn DeFi Kingdoms and Crabada in Avalanche- subnetted ecosystem. Covalent’s data collection process ensures latency for the most up-to-date information collection, enormous breadth spanning 50+ blockchains and alternative sources (app chains, L2s, etc.), and impressive depth – ensuring that all data is analyzed from the genesis block and beyond. From the protocol’s perspective, there is still great demand for protocols, institutions and dApp developers to leverage these findings to unlock the power of Web3 data and provide users with the highest quality analytics. Transaction history and analytics is a significant revenue generator in the traditional financial services sector, and as more traditional financial firms increase their crypto holdings, the need for fast and reliable Web3 data will follow suit and expand into other sectors. “As the need for Web3 data continues to grow, Covalent recognizes that the key to success for organizations such as exchanges, trading firms and market makers is rapid access to reliable and easy-to-understand data,” said Ganesh Swami, CEO and co-founder. of covalent. “The power of Web3 and decentralized storage is helping to eliminate traditional obstacles such as time, cost and the need for a technical expertise when accessing data. By increasing the visibility of trusted chains such as Avalanche, Ethereum, Moonbeam and the BNB chain, scaling Boba Network for future growth.” “We are excited about the partnership with Covalent. As the first and only multi-chain L2 with deployments on Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum and Moonbeam, it’s important to give our community of developers access to tools like Covalent. Their unified API is a great added value to our multi-chain community,” said Alan Chiu, CEO of Enya Labs, the core contributor to the Boba Network.
