Why Covalent
Simply put, Covalent's Unified API allows you to pull detailed, historical and granular blockchain data from multiple blockchains with no code. Covalent allows developers to drastically cut time, costs and complexity from blockchain application development.
Developers love Covalent for the following reasons:
- Automatically indexed: All code on the underlying blockchain is automatically indexed for you, the developer. Covalent makes an exact replica of every single contract, every wallet and every single transaction to the Covalent database. The Covalent database hosts billions of rows of data and terabytes of data.
- No-code: Covalent offers a "no-code" solution and all customizations can be done without writing a single line of code by the developer. No need to invest expensive engineering time in building indexing code that you'd rather invest in building your application.
- Multiple blockchains, multiple usecases: The same unified API works across 15+ blockchains and dozens of use-cases like crypto-wallets, NFT galleries, investor dashboard tools, DAO tooling - the possibilities are endless.

New NFT Market Data Endpoints
Covalent has introduced 2 new Class A endpoints which provide granular NFT market data for numerous marketplaces across 5 blockchains – Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, and Moonriver. The new endpoints provide both a global view of NFT collections ranked by market cap, as well as a detailed view of historical sale and floor price information for a particular collection. Thus far, it’s been hard to understand markets outside of Ethereum/OpenSea. These APIs address this gap by providing unprecedented access to this much-requested on-chain data.
