Coverage Levels
Each chain has a coverage level indicating what data is available.
Levels
| Level | Description | Endpoints available |
|---|---|---|
| FULLY_INDEXED | Block-by-block indexing with all transaction types | All wallet, balance, transfer, and blockchain endpoints |
| PARTIALLY_INDEXED | Indexed but missing some data (e.g., no internal txs) | Wallet transfers and balances, no traces |
| EXPLORER_API | Data fetched on-demand from block explorer APIs | Wallet transfers (may be slower), balances |
| SANCTIONS_ONLY | Only sanctions screening available | Screening endpoints only |
What "fully indexed" means
- Every block processed and stored
- Normal transactions, internal transactions, and token transfers all captured
- Balance snapshots available at any block height
- Sub-second latency for all queries
- Trace data available (if chain supports it)
Explorer API chains
For chains in EXPLORER_API mode:
- Data is fetched from the chain's block explorer on demand
- Response times are higher (100-500ms vs 10-50ms for indexed chains)
- Rate limits from upstream explorers may apply
- Historical data depth depends on the explorer
