What Edge & Node does

Edge & Node is the founding team behind The Graph protocol (in production since 2018) and operates as a blockchain data infrastructure company headquartered in San Francisco with 11-50 employees. Its flagship product, Amp, is a blockchain-native SQL database that converts on-chain activity into cryptographically verifiable, queryable datasets across Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, and Base, deployable in cloud, on-prem, or hybrid configurations. Amp's distinguishing technical components include Keccak-256 hashing and Merkle Patricia Trie reconstruction against block headers, chain-time streaming with block numbers as watermarks and block hashes as cursors, incremental view maintenance for streaming joins via DataFusion, and auto-generation of event tables from contract ABIs. Benchmarked at 4M+ blockchain events per second and 5.9x faster than Google BigQuery on public datasets, Amp is positioned for regulated banks, Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuers (PPSIs), and large enterprises that require GENIUS Act-aligned, audit-grade data infrastructure with SOC 2 Type I certification (SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 in process).

The company has extended its platform with ampersend, a wallet and policy control layer for AI agents that enforces programmatic spending controls (daily, monthly, and per-transaction caps, allowlists, automated top-ups) over the open x402 HTTP 402 stablecoin payment protocol on Base and Solana. ampersend operates alongside Coinbase, Google, Cloudflare, and the Ethereum Foundation's dAI team within the x402 ecosystem (35M+ transactions, $10M+ Solana volume as of late 2025), and ships an SDK supporting MCP and A2A transports plus OpenClaw Agent Templates via Pinata's marketplace. The company also operates a standalone Blockchain Consulting Services practice covering GENIUS Act compliance architecture, SAR filings, AML obligations, implementation, and ongoing advisory for regulated institutions, and runs The House, a 13,000 sq ft co-creation space in San Francisco's Presidio.

Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based Amp enterprise subscriptions (multi-year contracts, custom deployment), standalone consulting engagements, and a beta-stage ampersend offering with undisclosed future pricing. The go-to-market motion is multi-modal: enterprise field sales targeting regulated financial institutions and stablecoin issuers, API-first developer onboarding via TypeScript/Rust/Python SDKs and a "Join the Waitlist" CTA, community-led developer evangelism through open-source repositories and The House, and event-driven demand generation (Money20/20, Money20/20 Asia, SF Agentic Commerce x402 Hackathon). Customer logos prominently featured include The Graph, ENS, Uniswap, Lido, and LF Decentralized Trust, with primary use cases spanning GENIUS Act compliance readiness, onchain transaction monitoring, treasury visibility, and verifiable agent-payment infrastructure.

Revenue model

1. Amp Enterprise Subscriptions: Recurring SaaS/enterprise contracts for Amp, the blockchain-native database platform, deployed in cloud, on-prem, or hybrid configurations for banks, stablecoin issuers, and large enterprises. Priced via custom quote (sales-led) rather than publicly disclosed tiers.
2. Blockchain Consulting Services: Standalone enterprise advisory practice including compliance architecture (GENIUS Act, SAR filings, AML), implementation and integration, ongoing advisory, and priority support / SLAs. Sold as standalone engagements and bundled with Amp deployments.
3. ampersend Agent Payments Platform: Management/control layer on top of the x402 payment protocol, providing agent wallets, spending policy enforcement, real-time observability dashboards, and automated top-ups. Beta access requested via ampersend.ai. Revenue likely combines subscription/usage of the management platform with potential transaction-based elements.
4. x402 / Pay-Per-Request Transaction Settlement: Underlying infrastructure for pay-per-request USDC settlements between AI agents and service providers using the x402 HTTP 402 payment protocol on Base and Solana. Edge & Node participates as a wallet/policy and dashboard provider in this transactional ecosystem.

Core offering

Edge & Node sells Amp, a blockchain-native SQL database that converts on-chain activity (blocks, transactions, logs, instructions) from Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, and Base into cryptographically verifiable, queryable datasets exposed via Arrow Flight, REST, and GraphQL. Its secondary product ampersend provides programmable agent wallets with spending policy enforcement on top of the x402 USDC payment protocol for AI agent economies. The company also sells a standalone Blockchain Consulting Services advisory practice for regulated institutions and operates The House, a 13,000 sq ft co-creation space in San Francisco's Presidio.

Product overview

Edge & Node operates a multi-product platform organized around two core software offerings. Amp is the blockchain-native database providing verifiable, structured, SQL-queryable data infrastructure for regulated banks, stablecoin issuers, and large enterprises operating at GENIUS Act / PPSI scale; it supports Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and other chains and is deployable on-prem, in cloud, or hybrid. ampersend is the separate control layer for the agent economy that provides AI agents with programmable wallets, x402 per-request payment capabilities, budget enforcement, and audit trails (via its SDK supporting MCP and A2A). These core products are complemented by an enterprise Blockchain Consulting Services advisory practice for regulated environments and The House, a sub-brand co-creation space in San Francisco's Presidio. Edge & Node is also the core development team behind The Graph protocol and Graph Node.

Direct peers

• The Graph: The blockchain indexing protocol that Edge & Node's founding team originally created and continues to core-develop. Edge & Node and The Graph share the same founding engineers and overlapping technology (subgraphs, Graph Node), making them the most directly comparable peer for both protocol and infrastructure positioning.
• Covalent: Multi-chain blockchain data API provider offering unified access to on-chain data for wallets, exchanges, and analytics use cases. Closely comparable to Amp's SQL-accessible, multi-chain data infrastructure positioning for both Web3 and enterprise customers.
• Dune Analytics: Blockchain analytics platform providing SQL-queryable on-chain data across multiple chains with a community-driven dashboard ecosystem. Comparable to Amp in the SQL-on-blockchain-data category, though Dune focuses on community analysts and dashboards rather than cryptographic verification and enterprise compliance.
• Goldsky: Real-time blockchain data indexing and APIs platform built for Web3 applications. Direct peer to Amp in the indexing/data infrastructure category with multi-chain support and developer-focused APIs, though with a different performance and verification architecture.
• SubQuery: Open-source blockchain data indexer providing GraphQL APIs across multiple networks, with a decentralized network model similar to The Graph. Closely comparable to Amp's indexing and query capabilities for Web3 developers, though focused on GraphQL rather than SQL.

Broad incumbents

• Alchemy: Largest blockchain developer platform offering node infrastructure, APIs, and data services across multiple chains. Comparable to Amp as a multi-chain data provider for developers and enterprises, though Alchemy operates at much larger scale with a broader portfolio of products.
• Infura (Consensys): Major blockchain infrastructure provider offering Ethereum and IPFS node services plus developer APIs. As a Consensys product, Infura competes broadly in the same blockchain data infrastructure space as Amp, serving both developer and enterprise customers with much larger scale and longer operational history.
• Chainalysis: Leading blockchain analytics company serving financial institutions, governments, and exchanges with compliance, investigation, and risk management tools. Comparable to Amp in serving regulated institutional customers needing verified on-chain data, though Chainalysis focuses on analytics/AML rather than SQL-native database infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Crossmint: Enterprise-grade platform for building onchain applications including wallets, payments, and agentic commerce infrastructure. Comparable to ampersend in the agentic payment and programmable wallet space, with overlapping positioning around AI agent commerce and x402-aligned protocols.
• Nevermined: Payments and commerce infrastructure specifically built for AI agents and the agentic economy, integrating x402 protocol support. Direct peer to ampersend in the agent payment control layer category, addressing similar use cases around AI agent spending governance and per-request payments.
