Blockchain API Providers: How Onchain Data Works
A clear guide to blockchain API providers: what they do, how they differ, and how they turn messy onchain data into reliable feeds for developers and institutions.

Prediction markets let people trade contracts tied to real-world events. Here is how they work, why they exist, and what the prices actually tell you.
Explainers
What polymarket volume data actually measures, where it lives onchain, and how to read it without being misled by wash trades, resolution spikes, or double counting.
RLUSD
RLUSD is Ripple's fiat-backed US dollar stablecoin, live on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum. Here is how it works, where it circulates, and why it matters.
stablecoins
PYUSD is a fiat-backed dollar stablecoin issued by Paxos and branded by PayPal. Here is how it works, where it circulates onchain, and why it matters.
stablecoins
USDS is the dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Sky (formerly MakerDAO). Here is how it works, where it circulates, and why it matters.
digital asset identifiers
A wallet address tells you where value sits, not what the value is. Here is why identifying a token takes more than an address, and what standards are emerging to fix it.
stablecoins
A stablecoin can live on a dozen chains with a dozen contract addresses and no shared key. Stablecoin identifiers fix that by mapping every deployment back to one canonical asset identity.
digital asset identifiers
A contract address points to one deployment on one chain. A digital asset identifier names the asset across all of them. Here is how the two differ and why it matters for onchain finance.
blockchain data
Blockchain data providers translate the raw, chaotic output of public ledgers into structured data that institutions, developers, and researchers can trust. Here is how they work and why the category is growing.
onchain data
Onchain data is the permanent record of activity written directly to a blockchain. Here is what it contains, why it matters for finance, and how raw records become usable.
