Frequently asked questions

How do I index Canto blockchain data?

Use the SQD Portal API at portal.sqd.dev/datasets/canto or the open-source Squid SDK. Both stream Canto blocks, transactions, and event logs from historical archives. The free tier supports development; paid Portal deployments cover production workloads with SLA-backed latency.

Is the Canto API free?

Yes. SQD provides a free public Portal endpoint for Canto with no API key required. For higher rate limits, dedicated infrastructure, and SLA-backed uptime, see the SQD Pricing page.

What Canto data tables does SQD provide?

SQD indexes 3 data tables for Canto: blocks, transactions, logs. Each table is decoded, validated at ingestion, and queryable through the Portal API.

Does SQD support real-time Canto data?

Canto historical and recent data is available through SQD's archival layer. Real-time streaming for Canto is on the roadmap, request priority via the SQD contact form.

What's the difference between SQD and an RPC node for Canto?

An RPC node serves raw, unvalidated Canto data limited to recent state. SQD's Portal indexes the full Canto history, decodes it into queryable tables, validates every block at ingestion, and serves it through a typed SDK, no node operations required.

Can I self-host Canto indexing with SQD?

Yes, the Squid SDK is open-source under the GPLv3 license. You can run your own indexer against the SQD Network or the Portal, or deploy on SQD Cloud for fully managed hosting.
