Celo on SQD

Validated at ingestion

Celo data is validated by SQD Network workers before it reaches the Portal. Validation is performed across the network rather than by a single ingestion node, so a faulty upstream source can't poison the dataset.

Decoded, schema-typed

3 Celo tables (blocks, transactions & logs), decoded and schema-typed, ready to query. Your indexer queries the data directly without writing RLP parsers.

Archive plus real-time

Single Portal endpoint serves Celo from genesis through the current head, with sub-second hot-path latency. No separate streaming pipeline to wire up.

Open-source SDK

Both the Squid SDK and the Pipes SDK are open-source. Connectors for Postgres, ClickHouse, MongoDB, SQLite and Parquet, plus a custom-target hook. Run your Celo indexer on your own infrastructure or on SQD Cloud.

Build with Celo data

Common production patterns teams build with SQD on Celo.

DeFi & Trading

Index swaps, liquidations, and positions on Celo in real time.

Analytics

Build dashboards and metrics from full Celo historical state.

AI Agents

Give agents structured, decoded Celo data with the MCP server.

Wallets & Payments

Power balance, transfer, and history views for Celo wallets.

Compliance & KYT

Validated Celo data for transaction monitoring and audits.

Stablecoins

Track every mint, burn, and transfer of Celo stablecoins.

Real-World Assets

Auditable Celo data for tokenized RWA issuance and transfers.

Available Data

blocks

Block headers with timestamps, gas usage, miner info, and consensus data.

transactions

All onchain transactions with sender, receiver, value, gas, and input data.

logs

Event logs emitted by smart contracts, the primary source for tracking DeFi, NFT, and token activity.

Frequently asked questions

How does SQD compare to running a Celo RPC node?
A Celo RPC node serves raw bytes for recent state and rate-limits per request. SQD's Portal pre-indexes the full Celo archive into decoded, schema-typed tables (blocks, transactions & logs) and serves them as a single streaming endpoint. You skip the multi-day node sync, archive storage, monitoring, and scale-out work, and pay only for the data you stream.
What does SQD cost for Celo data?
The public Portal endpoint at portal.sqd.dev/datasets/celo-mainnet is free for development with no API key. Production workloads run on the SQD Portal with tiered pricing based on the network and request volume. See the pricing page for current tiers, or contact us for an enterprise quote.
How is SQD's Celo data different from a block explorer like Etherscan?
Block explorers are read-optimized for human browsing of single blocks or addresses. SQD is built for programmatic indexing: stream millions of Celo blocks into your own database, run analytical queries across the full history, and back production applications with decoded data. Output is structured tables, not HTML pages, and there are no per-call rate limits geared toward UI traffic. If you wanted to build your own Celo explorer, the SQD Portal is what you would back it with.
Can I self-host SQD's Celo indexer?
Yes. Both the Squid SDK and the Pipes SDK are open-source. You can run a Celo indexer on your own infrastructure pointing at the SQD Network or the Portal. SQD Cloud also offers managed hosting if you'd rather not operate it yourself.
Can I export Celo data to a data warehouse or pipeline?
Yes. The Pipes SDK streams Celo data from the Portal into Postgres, ClickHouse, MongoDB, SQLite, Parquet, or a custom target you implement. See the SDK docs for the connector reference.
Does SQD validate Celo data?
Every Celo block ingested into SQD is validated by the SQD Network workers (hash chain, parent reference, and where applicable finality) before it reaches the Portal. Validation is performed across the network, not by a single ingestion process, so a faulty upstream node can't poison the dataset.
Does SQD support real-time Celo data?
Yes. Celo is served with both real-time and historical data from the same Portal endpoint, with sub-second latency on the hot path. No separate streaming pipeline to wire up.
