Goldsky

Goldsky is a real-time blockchain data infrastructure platform that gives crypto and fintech teams managed access to on-chain data without running their own indexing pipelines, archive nodes, or ETL systems. Founded in October 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company provides four core managed services — streaming data pipelines, hosted subgraph APIs, edge RPC endpoints, and an on-chain execution layer — all designed to eliminate the engineering overhead of building and maintaining blockchain data backends at scale.

The Problem Goldsky Solves

Shipping reliable blockchain-native products requires continuous access to accurate, low-latency on-chain data. Historically, crypto teams have built this infrastructure in-house: custom indexers, bespoke ETL pipelines, and self-managed archive nodes. This work is expensive, fragile, and orthogonal to the product itself. Goldsky's thesis is that data infrastructure is a solved problem for traditional web companies — through services like Snowflake, Kafka, and Postgres — but remains largely unsolved for crypto, and that a managed service purpose-built for blockchain data can remove that burden entirely.

Core Products

Turbo Pipelines is Goldsky's flagship streaming product. Built on a Rust engine, Turbo allows teams to define data pipelines in YAML and begin receiving live on-chain data in seconds. Pipelines support SQL and TypeScript transforms — compiled to WebAssembly — applied to raw chain data before delivery. Supported sinks include PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, Amazon S3, Apache Kafka, and webhooks. Goldsky handles reorg-aware delivery with at-least-once guarantees, meaning consumers receive only canonical chain state without needing to implement reorganization logic themselves. Turbo is the primary path for Solana data access, supporting Solana mainnet and devnet with sub-second latency after block confirmation.

Subgraphs is a hosted GraphQL indexing service compatible with The Graph's subgraph standard. Teams can deploy no-code subgraphs from a JSON configuration listing contract addresses and ABIs, or write fully custom subgraphs using AssemblyScript mappings. Factory contract patterns are supported alongside automated webhooks that fire on indexed events. Existing Graph-compatible subgraph codebases can be migrated without modification.

Edge RPC provides globally distributed JSON-RPC endpoints optimized for different workload profiles. Archive and batch-request access serves indexers and backend services; a multi-region CDN layer with smart caching serves frontend applications where read latency matters; and a pay-per-request mode using x402 nanopayments allows access without an account or credit card. The endpoints include automatic failover and cross-node consensus checks for write reliability.

Compose is an execution layer for workflows that span on-chain and off-chain logic. Teams write TypeScript tasks that consume data, apply custom logic, and publish results on-chain. Tasks can be triggered by on-chain events, cron schedules, or API calls, with durable retry semantics and full call tracing. Typical use cases include oracle feeds, keeper automation, and compliance screening.

Boost, launched in September 2026, is a CDN layer that sits in front of any existing RPC endpoint and caches billable read calls at Goldsky's edge nodes. Teams route traffic to Boost without changing their provider or existing keys; the service intercepts cacheable calls and serves them from the nearest edge point. Users report an average 45% reduction in RPC costs, with some workloads saving up to 80%.

Solana Support

Goldsky indexes Solana blocks with sub-second latency after confirmation and delivers data through Turbo Pipelines to any supported sink. The platform automatically handles Solana's block reorganizations, providing consumers with canonical chain state. Available datasets include DEX trade data covering pricing, spreads, and venue execution; block-level data; and transaction-level event streams. Subgraph and Edge RPC services are also available for Solana mainnet and devnet.

Goldsky presented at Solana Breakpoint 2024 alongside ClickHouse, where the companies announced CryptoHouse, a free blockchain analytics product built on Goldsky's Solana indexing layer and ClickHouse's columnar database. Independent analytics platforms including Blockworks use Goldsky as a primary Solana data source alongside Dune Analytics.

Scale and Customers

As of mid-2026, Goldsky reports supporting 150+ chains, processing more than 100 million events per minute, storing over 4 petabytes of crypto data, and delivering more than 2 GB/s of combined read/write throughput. The platform reports powering more than $75 billion in total value locked across customer products. Notable customers include Uniswap, Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple, Polymarket, and Phantom. Polymarket's Head of Engineering noted that Goldsky's infrastructure "exceeded our expectations in almost every single category."

Team and Funding

Goldsky was co-founded by CEO Kevin Li and Jeffrey Ling, both former data engineers at Heap Analytics. The company employs approximately 33 people. In September 2022, Goldsky raised a $20 million seed round led by Felicis and Dragonfly Capital, bringing total capital raised to $22 million. Angel investors include Elad Gil; Plaid co-founders Zach Perret and William Hockey; and Zhuoxun Yin of Magic Eden. Felicis partner Sundeep Pechu noted that the company's primary competition comes from in-house builds, with most crypto firms still managing their own data infrastructure at the time of the round.

Ecosystem Position

Goldsky occupies the blockchain data infrastructure layer — between raw node RPC access and the application layer — where it competes primarily with in-house solutions and, to a lesser extent, specialized indexing projects and decentralized data networks. Its products are designed to be complementary to existing infrastructure choices: teams can direct Turbo output into their own Postgres or ClickHouse deployments, deploy subgraphs following The Graph's open standard, or point Boost at any existing RPC provider.

The platform's Solana support makes it a practical option for teams building DeFi applications, analytics products, and automated on-chain workflows on Solana, particularly where low-latency streaming data into a managed database is preferable to operating a dedicated archive node.
