The Graph’s Token API Beta: Decentralized Token Data, Built by Developers, for Developers
In response to the sudden shutdown of SimpleHash's Token API, The Graph is stepping in with the launch of a new Token API beta, ensuring developers experience uninterrupted access and continued reliability. The Graph’s Token API helps data consumers get token and price data for web3 use cases like wallets, dashboards, and block explorers.
The Graph’s Token API offers intuitive, UX-optimized endpoints built on a data extraction process leveraging Substreams as a decentralized data source, instead of traditional RPC methods. This delivers resilient, real time Token API data to developers. Substreams use hooks that allow direct streams of data rather than requiring repetitive queries, positioning them as the optimal solution for efficient and responsive Token APIs.
Additionally, The Graph’s Token API beta is specifically designed to give AI Agents seamless, direct access to the data via MCP servers, enabling agents to read the entire schema and locate necessary data without requiring human intervention.
With the launch of this new service, The Graph empowers developers with multiple innovative and efficient methods for accessing onchain data.
Unpacking the Token API’s Capabilities
The Graph’s Token API beta provides reliable access to token balances, transaction histories, pricing, and more—starting with Ethereum, Arbitrum, BSC, Polygon, Optimism and Base chains.
Specific beta features include:
- Token Balances by Wallet: Track ERC-20 & Native balances across an EVM wallet in a single query. Perfect for portfolio trackers or tax tools.
- Transfers by Token, Tx Hash, or Wallet: Drill into transaction histories with granular filters. Monitor token movements in real time for compliance, analytics, or user notifications.
- Top Token Holders: Identify whales, track distribution trends, or audit token health with leaderboard-style insights.
- Uniswap V2 Pricing Integration: Access Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) data for tokens paired on Uniswap V2. Build financial charts, price alerts, or trading strategies.
- Rich Token Metadata: Fetch token symbols, logos, decimals, total holders, circulating supply, marketcap and more to create polished, user-friendly interfaces.
Supercharge LLMs with Token Data via Model Context Protocol (MCP)
The Graph ecosystem is pioneering AI-ready infrastructure. Developers can gain early access to Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for the Token API, developed in collaboration with Pinax, a core developer team working on The Graph.

The Token API Beta marks the first phase of an ambitious roadmap to provide the most comprehensive and reliable token data solution in web3. This phase aims to empower a wide range of users with the infrastructure they need to thrive, including wallets, tax platforms, and analytics tools.
What To Expect in Phase 2 and Beyond
This launch is Phase 1 of an agile and iterative roadmap. In the next phases, expect expanded chain support, additional ERC-20 features, support for ERC-721, SPL tokens, and much more. The benefit of The Graph’s Token API is that it’s built by a decentralized ecosystem of web3 developers that actively incorporate user feedback in real-time to continually evolve the product.
