Dune SIM is shutting down. Here's how to migrate to Allium.

Dune is retiring the SIM API on August 1, 2026. If your app uses SIM for wallet balances, transaction history, or DeFi positions, you need a replacement before that date.

Allium's Real-time API covers the same endpoints. 23 chains. Full data lineage on every response.

Here's how to migrate.

What Allium's Real-time API covers

SIM was built around four core data types. Allium covers all of them:

SIM capability Allium endpoint
Token balances POST /api/v1/developer/wallet/balances
Historical balances POST /api/v1/developer/wallet/balances/history
Transaction history POST /api/v1/developer/wallet/transactions
Token prices POST /api/v1/developer/prices
DeFi positions POST /api/v1/developer/wallet/positions

Step-by-step migration process

Step 1: Get your API key

Sign up at app.allium.so. API keys are self-serve.

Step 2: Update authentication

SIM used an API key in the X-Sim-Api-Key header. Allium uses X-API-KEY.

Before (SIM):

curl https://api.sim.dune.com/v1/evm/balances/0xYOUR_ADDRESS \
  -H "X-Sim-Api-Key: YOUR_SIM_KEY"

After (Allium):

curl -X POST https://api.allium.so/api/v1/developer/wallet/balances \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_ALLIUM_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '[{"chain": "ethereum", "address": "0xYOUR_ADDRESS"}]'

Step 3: Update chain identifiers

SIM used numeric chain IDs. Allium uses string slugs.

Chain SIM chain ID Allium chain slug
Ethereum 1 ethereum
Base 8453 base
Arbitrum 42161 arbitrum
Polygon 137 polygon
Solana solana solana

Step 4: Remap transaction history

Before (SIM):

curl https://api.sim.dune.com/v1/evm/transactions/0xYOUR_ADDRESS \
  -H "X-Sim-Api-Key: YOUR_SIM_KEY"

After (Allium):

curl -X POST https://api.allium.so/api/v1/developer/wallet/transactions \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_ALLIUM_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '[{"chain": "ethereum", "address": "0xYOUR_ADDRESS"}]'

Allium returns enriched activity labels (swap, transfer, bridge, etc.) on each transaction. No post-processing required.

Step 5: Remap DeFi positions

Before (SIM):

curl https://api.sim.dune.com/v1/evm/portfolio/0xYOUR_ADDRESS \
  -H "X-Sim-Api-Key: YOUR_SIM_KEY"

After (Allium):

curl -X POST https://api.allium.so/api/v1/developer/wallet/positions \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_ALLIUM_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '[{"chain": "ethereum", "address": "0xYOUR_ADDRESS"}]'

Allium fetches positions across all supported chains by default. You don't specify chains individually.

Step 6: Update pagination

SIM used cursor-based pagination with a next_offset field. Allium uses a cursor field with a next_cursor in the response.

SIM:

?limit=100&offset=YOUR_NEXT_OFFSET

Allium:

?limit=100&cursor=YOUR_NEXT_CURSOR

Why Allium

  • 23 chains. SIM covered 14 EVM chains by default. Allium's Real-time API covers 23 chains including Solana, Bitcoin, Near, and Stellar, with no per-chain configuration required.
  • Auditable data. Allium deviates 0.000011% from ground truth node data. Full lineage included.
  • Built for scale. ~100K RPS with a 99.9% uptime SLA.
  • SOC 2 certified. Required for teams with institutional or compliance requirements.
  • Multiple delivery options. Start with the REST API. Add streaming, SQL, or warehouse delivery as you scale.
  • Flat pricing. No compute units or credit caps. Predictable cost as volume grows.

Who's already using Allium

The teams already running on Allium's Real-time API span wallets, DeFi, and trading infrastructure:

  • MetaMask uses the fungible balances and wallet transactions endpoints to power their wallet product.
  • Fun.xyz runs wallet APIs across Solana, Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum for their multi-chain wallet experience.
  • Uniswap uses DeFi positions, wallet balances, and PnL endpoints.
  • Fomo uses real-time APIs to power cross-chain trading
  • MoonPay uses real-time APIs for payment verification
