On May 24, Aurora, an Etherum virtual machine, issued an official announcement regarding their integration with Covalent’s indexing system. This move will deliver extensive blockchain data to chain developers using Covalent’s Unified API. Aurora’s data accessibility objectives will be realised via Covalent’s verified, permissionless, and trustless blockchain data.
Covalent is without a doubt the most popular blockchain indexing protocol, supported by a powerful unified API. The initiative has indexed billions of web3 data points, making them more accessible to blockchains. Several multi-chain wallets, applications, NFT galleries, and investor tools have already been created using the protocol spanning 32 blockchain networks.
Due to its highly transparent and visible data points, Covalent has become a go-to platform for over 27,000 developers in the crypto industry. The Unified IP dataset supports over 30,000 price feeds and over 250,000 smart contracts. Furthermore, the dataset for this indexing protocol is responsible for almost 25 billion transactions globally.
According to sources, the indexing protocol has added the Aurora mainnet to its portfolio. The NEAR protocol created Aurora, an EVM-based network. The network was intended to provide developers with a scalable and high-quality infrastructure to run their programmes.
The Covalent integration allows Aurora developers to obtain accurate, high-quality data, which speeds up their work. Furthermore, by modifying the Chain ID values, users can easily enable multi-chain connection. This collaboration is said to be a long-term commitment that will hopefully result in various other benefits in the future.
Decentralising the Aurora data stack, as opposed to solving redundancy and validator incentive issues, will be a realistic option for Covalent. Allowing developers to establish their own custom-made endpoints would also improve productivity and user experience. It is possible to achieve this with Covalent’s analyst mode, which allows developers to write SQL and customise their dashboards.
Users will also be able to access data from the Aurora mainnet using the Covalent Unified API. It will allow developers to access data that would otherwise be difficult to obtain from the public ledger. Token balances per account, NFT transactions for contracts, historical transaction data, and contract metadata are all included.
The two projects are also collaborating to create some developer-friendly tools and documentation. Given Covalent’s involvement in over 500 applications, including 0x, Zerion, Rainbow Wallet, Rotki, and Bitski, it will be an excellent addition to the Aurora ecosystem.
