What Bitquery does

Bitquery is a private blockchain data infrastructure company, founded in 2018 and incorporated in Delaware, that provides multi-chain on-chain data APIs across 40+ blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Avalanche, and Tron. The company's core technology is a unified GraphQL schema backed by proprietary indexing engines, Geyser plugins for Solana, and archive node infrastructure that decodes and normalizes on-chain data from genesis — covering 300+ DEX protocols and 10M+ tokens across all major token standards. Bitquery has indexed over 1 petabyte of blockchain data since 2018, processes 10B+ API calls per month at 99.9% uptime, and operates sub-100ms gRPC streaming and sub-500ms Kafka delivery for real-time use cases targeting MEV, HFT, and trading workflows.

The product portfolio spans 30+ APIs including the DEX Trades API, Token Price API, OHLCV API, Token Holder API, Balance API, NFT API, Coinpath® Money Flow API (with OFAC sanctions screening), Cloud Datashares for petabyte-scale bulk delivery, Kafka Streams, Solana CoreCast gRPC, the 2025-launched Bitquery MCP Server for AI agent access, and dedicated feeds for Pump.fun and perpetual DEXs (Hyperliquid, Aster DEX, Lighter, Phoenix). Bitquery generates revenue through a three-tier model — a free Developer plan, custom-priced Commercial subscriptions, and bulk Datashares — under a points-based usage pricing system adopted in June 2024. The company was founded by Dean Karakitsos (CEO) and Aleksey Studnev (CTO), is backed by a $8.5M September 2022 funding round led by YZi Labs and dao5 alongside earlier Binance X Fellowship (2019) and Polygon ecosystem grant (2019) support, and serves 40,000+ developers and enterprise clients including Nansen, Chainalysis, Binance, 0x Protocol, Nexo, TRM Labs, Bybit, CoinMarketCap, Kraken, Tether, Lukka, and pump.fun across trading, compliance/forensics, custody, wallets, tax, and analytics segments.
