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.

How to index Plasma blockchain data

Stream Plasma event logs, transactions, and blocks from the SQD Portal in two lines of code. The example below uses the public endpoint, no API key required for development.

Frequently asked questions

How do I index Plasma blockchain data?

Use the SQD Portal API at portal.sqd.dev/datasets/plasma-mainnet or the open-source Squid SDK. Both stream Plasma blocks, transactions, and event logs in real time. The free tier supports development; paid Portal deployments cover production workloads with SLA-backed latency.

Is the Plasma API free?

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

What Plasma data tables does SQD provide?

SQD indexes 5 data tables for Plasma: blocks, transactions, logs, traces, state_diffs. Each table is decoded, validated at ingestion, and queryable through the Portal API.

Does SQD support real-time Plasma data?

Yes. SQD provides sub-second latency on Plasma mainnet through the Portal's hot path. Both real-time streaming and full historical access are available from the same API.

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

An RPC node serves raw, unvalidated Plasma data limited to recent state. SQD's Portal indexes the full Plasma 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 Plasma 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.
