Allium

Allium is a blockchain data company (the name has nothing to do with the onion and garlic plant family). It reads raw activity from public blockchains, Solana among them, and turns it into clean tables. Companies can then query that data the way they query bank records. Analysts use its SQL tool and dashboards. Developers call its APIs. Finance teams get the tables sent straight into their own data warehouse. Its Solana data goes back to the very first block. Allium was founded in 2021 and sells mostly to large firms. Its homepage names Visa, Coinbase cbBTC$76,028.89-0.2%, Phantom CASH$0.999+0.0% and Grayscale as clients.

How Allium turns raw Solana data into clean tables

Allium runs the whole path from blockchain nodes to finished tables, so you don't have to build your own indexer. It pulls every block and transaction. It turns each program's raw instructions into events you can read, such as trades, transfers and loans. Then it files them in the same table layout on every chain. The aim is one source of data that an analyst or auditor can trust.

The hard part is telling real economic activity apart from noise. Bots, wash trading and money moving between one owner's own wallets all pump up raw totals. Allium's homepage says about 90% of onchain stablecoin volume is not economic activity, and it filters that out of its adjusted figures.

How many chains Allium covers depends on the product. Allium says it handles data from more than 150 blockchains. Its docs list 85+ chains in the main analytics database, which updates about once an hour. The developer page lists live APIs on 20+ chains.

Allium Explorer, Terminal and Allium AI for analysts

Allium has three tools for people who want answers without running a data pipeline. Allium Explorer is a web tool where you write SQL across any supported chain and save the results as dashboards. Allium Terminal has ready-made dashboards, so you don't need to write SQL at all. Allium AI turns a plain-English question into SQL for you.

Allium also offers an MCP connector. MCP is a standard way for AI agents to use outside tools, so an agent can pull Allium data on its own. In August 2026 Allium added a connector to Perplexity Computer, Perplexity's research agent. Allium publishes research too, such as its Q3 2026 State of Stablecoins and Payments report.

Allium API, Datastreams and Datashares for developers

Allium's developer tools take the place of the data layer you would otherwise build for an app. The Developer APIs return wallet balances, transaction history, token prices, profit and loss on holdings, and DeFi positions. Allium says its APIs answer in 50 to 100 milliseconds and can handle more than 100,000 requests a second.

Datastreams are for live events. They push chain data to your systems as it happens, over Kafka, Google Pub/Sub, AWS SNS or WebSocket. There is a stream just for Solana DEX trades. Beam lets you set up your own filtered live feed. Datashares put finished tables into your own Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, S3 or Google Cloud account. Your data team then works in tools it already knows. Allium Nodes give managed node access.

Allium's comparison pages, such as Allium vs Helius, list a free tier with 20,000 API credits and paid plans from $200 a month. Larger deals are priced by its sales team.

Allium Solana data: what is covered from genesis

Allium's Solana page says its data starts at the very first Solana block. The raw layer holds blocks, transactions, instructions and validator rewards. On top of that, Allium builds tables for the things people ask about most.

Those tables cover token transfers, SOL and SPL token balances, and profit and loss. They also cover NFT trades and mints, DEX trades, liquidity pools, lending, and staking rewards for stakers and validators.

Allium decodes more than 30 Solana protocols. They include Raydium RAY$1.78+5.4%, Orca ORCA$1.39+4.5%, Meteora MET$0.279+3.2%, Jupiter JUP$0.242-1.1%, Kamino Finance KMNO$0.034+0.6%, Magic Eden ME$0.047+3.3% and Tensor TNSR$0.026+15.5%. Others can be added on request. It also handles Token-2022, Solana's newer kind of token. For accounting teams, it can set data out as debits and credits.

The Wallet API gives a ready-made activity history for any group of wallets. It added Solana in February 2025. A month later it could return every past Solana trade, transfer and balance back to the first block, per Allium's March update.

Who uses Allium: Visa, Phantom, Bloomberg and the Solana Foundation

Allium sells to banks, payment firms, governments and big crypto apps. Its homepage says more than 30 of the Fortune Crypto 100 run on its data.

That page also lists KPMG, the bank Standard Chartered and the central bank of Singapore. Crypto apps such as MetaMask and Uniswap are there too.

On Solana, the clearest case is Phantom. Allium's developer page says the Phantom wallet uses its APIs to show live trades and token moves. When Jupiter ran its big airdrop in 2024, Phantom sent up to 90,000 requests a second through Allium.

The Solana Foundation uses Allium too. In October 2026 it launched the Solana Asset Registry, a checked list of Solana tokens. Its data comes from Allium, RWA.xyz and CoinGecko.

Many people see Allium data without knowing it. Visa's public stablecoin data page runs on it. Figures such as Visa's record June stablecoin volume come from there.

Bloomberg added a stablecoin dashboard to its Terminal on 1 October 2026. The screen says Bloomberg works out the numbers from Allium data and updates them every hour.

Is Allium right for you?

Allium fits teams that need clean data from many chains inside their own systems, and would otherwise build an indexer. Think compliance, finance and research teams at funds, banks and payment firms. It also fits large Solana apps, such as wallets, that need fast wallet and price APIs.

It suits you best if you already run a data warehouse. It also suits you if you need Solana next to other chains in one format, or need numbers you can defend to an auditor.

It is a weaker fit if you are a hobbyist who wants free public dashboards. Community platforms do that better. Sending transactions or running trading bots needs a different tool, usually a Solana RPC provider. And Allium only supplies data. It won't help you write, test or deploy Solana programs.

Is Allium safe? The October 2026 security incident and other risks

Allium is a data supplier, so it never holds your crypto or your keys. The risks are about data and access, and the biggest recent one was a breach. On 25 October 2026 Allium found that someone had broken into some of its systems. It locked things down, told the customers affected and hired an outside security firm. It plans to share what it finds once the review ends.

Allium's status page shows the recovery. The Allium App went offline as a precaution. Datashare tables stopped getting new data on 26 October and started again about a day later. The Explorer and its APIs came back on 28 October.

Datashares were fully fixed by 2 November, after Allium checked each chain. Allium Assistant came back on 2 November and Allium MCP on 5 November.

Allium also cancelled every old API key. It asked customers to make new keys, reset passwords and turn on two-step login, as edgeX News reported.

As of 6 November 2026, Allium had not said what was taken or how. If you are a customer, check that you are using new keys. Also check that your data for 26 and 27 October came through in full.

A few other limits are worth knowing:

• Allium's homepage says it holds SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type I and II reports. These test the company's own controls, such as security and access. They don't prove any one dataset is correct.
• Allium's Dune comparison page cites a 2025 KTH study. It found Allium's 2024 Ethereum counts matched a node's own data to within 0.000011%. That test covered Ethereum, so it tells you little about Solana data.
• Only about 30 Solana protocols come decoded. Newer or smaller programs may need a request, or your own work on the raw tables.
• Building on one supplier's tables creates lock-in. Switching later means rewriting queries and checking the new numbers match.

Allium vs Dune, Helius and other blockchain data platforms

Allium is built for private, checked data feeds. Dune is built for public dashboards and shared SQL. That is the main split. Allium's own Dune comparison says Dune is better for public dashboards and reach. It says Allium is better for live apps, big-firm research and reports. Allium lists SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type I and II reports, while Dune lists SOC 2 Type II.

Helius hSOL$107.99+0.5% is a different choice. Helius is Solana-only: RPC nodes, webhooks and Solana APIs, priced by use. Allium covers many chains and is built for analysis. Allium's Helius comparison says many teams use both. Helius runs the live parts of an app. Allium handles history, reports and views across chains.

Other options depend on the job:

• Dune for public dashboards and community SQL.
• Goldsky for custom indexing you set up yourself.
• Artemis and DeFiLlama for ready-made protocol and chain metrics, rather than raw tables.

Allium has its own comparison pages against Artemis, Goldsky, DeFiLlama, Helius, Zerion and RWA.xyz. Read them as the seller's view.

Allium funding, founders and history

Ethan Chan and Cheng Han Lee founded Allium in 2021, according to its about page. Chan, the chief executive, studied AI at Stanford and later worked at Primer. Lee, the chief technology officer, worked at Meta and the payments firm Poynt. Chan told Fortune the idea came from machine learning: "You have to control the data source."

Theory Ventures led Allium's $16.5 million Series A in July 2024.

Amplify Partners then led a $40 million Series B in June 2026. Kleiner Perkins and Theory Ventures joined it again.

By the Series B, Allium had more than 150 business clients, FinTech Global reported. Its revenue had grown more than tenfold since the Series A. The about page lists a team of 50+ in New York and Singapore.

The Information ranked Allium fifth in crypto and fintech on its list of the most promising startups of 2025. The Generalist named it to its Future 50 list in 2024.
