goldsky

Goldsky, operated by Endless Sky Inc., is a blockchain data infrastructure company that supplies real-time onchain data and execution tooling to fintech and crypto businesses. Its platform is positioned as a back-end for crypto-enabled products, with sub-second data latency and native stablecoin support. The product suite comprises four main components: Turbo Pipelines, streaming data pipelines built on a Rust engine that support instant deploys, hot-swappable TypeScript transforms, live data previews, dynamic tables, local development and Solana, and which write to sinks including webhooks, Postgres, ClickHouse, Kafka, S3, print and blackhole; Subgraphs, zero-maintenance GraphQL endpoints with real-time indexing, factory contract support, The Graph compatibility, historical data and custom schemas; Edge RPC, a single read/write RPC endpoint for live and archive access to EVM chains backed by a global edge CDN with millisecond failover, cross-node consensus, automatic retries, request hedging, circuit breakers and tip-of-chain caching; and Compose, an execution layer for onchain/offchain workflows offering gas-sponsored wallets, chain forking, type-safe SDKs, TEE execution and execution traces. Documentation also lists Mirror, a product for streaming realtime data directly into a database.

The company advertises support for 162 chains and 289 networks, spanning EVM chains, Solana, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Arweave, Stellar, Sui, NEAR, Starknet, Canton, Hyperliquid and others, with per-chain availability varying by product. Published platform statistics include more than $75B in TVL powered by Goldsky, over 2 GB/s of read/write throughput, more than 4 PB of crypto data stored and over 500 TB of on-demand datasets. Goldsky states it is SOC 2 Type II compliant.

Use cases marketed by the company include wallets and payments, prediction markets, DeFi and trading, stablecoins, analytics and blockchain gaming, alongside solutions pages for proof of reserves, AML monitoring, deposit detection, settlement, reconciliation, tokenized assets and securities compliance.

Founding story

Co-founder and CEO Kevin Li met his co-founder while both worked in data engineering roles at Heap Analytics. Li subsequently worked at Google and Meta before joining 0x Labs, where he helped build the decentralized exchange aggregator Matcha. There he observed that the bottleneck to shipping features was obtaining usable onchain data, and began building Goldsky to automate the creation of data pipelines so companies could avoid parsing smart contract data themselves.

Business model

Goldsky sells managed data infrastructure directly to developers and companies on a self-serve and enterprise basis, layering usage-based subscription tiers over its indexing, streaming, RPC and execution products.

Usage-based pricing across three tiers. Starter provides a one-time $100 credit with no credit card required, capped at 2,250 subgraph worker hours, 100,000 entities, 750 pipeline worker hours, 1M pipeline events and 1M RPC requests per month. Scale is pay-as-you-go: subgraph and Compose worker hours at $0.05/hr (~$37/mo), Turbo worker hours at $0.10/hr (~$73/mo), entities at $4 per 100,000 after the first 100,000, Turbo events at $1 per 100,000 after the first 1M, hosted PostgreSQL at $0.16/hr compute and $1.50/GB storage, Edge RPC at $5.00 per 1M requests, Compose function calls at $6.00 per 1,000 after the first 10,000, and an optional 10% fee on sponsored gas. Enterprise adds custom pricing, committed-use discounts of 20%+, a 4-hour support SLA, white-label endpoints, custom caching and professional services. Payments are accepted by credit card and ACH, with token-based payments available to enterprise customers. Early-stage companies in the partner network can receive 50% off the first year.
