Real-time onchain data streamed anywhere
Key use cases
Trading & Analytics
Process data faster while cutting costs. Never miss transactions with cursor-managed reconnection.
AI Agents & Gaming
Stream millisecond-latency data directly into your code. Ensure uninterrupted gameplay with fail-safe cursor management.
DeFi
Sync contract data from genesis with faster processing. Eliminate unreliable RPCs while reducing infrastructure costs.
DePIN
Capture every on-chain state change at scale. Handle high-frequency transactions through efficient pull-based streams.
Why Substreams
Parallelized processing power
Substreams processes blockchain data up to 72,000% faster than traditional RPCs with parallelized back-processing technology, enabling entire blockchains to be processed within hours
Cost-effective data access
Users report infrastructure costs savings of up to $8,500 by eliminating expensive RPC calls and improving efficiency with Substreams' $25/TB pricing model
Never miss a data point
Substreams is backed by a cursor-based system, simplifying the management of reorgs and disconnections
Available on 35+ networks
