The Center API: The leading crypto API for builders

Welcome to Center! We're so glad that you are building with our API.

What do we do?

Building in crypto is complicated, time-consuming and expensive. We make it easier.

The Center API is a multi-chain, high-performance API designed with speed and developer productivity in mind. We're built to save you time and get you to market faster.

We offer several products for crypto builders:

  1. Custom indexing ("Chainpipe")
    1. Index anything on the blockchain in seconds with Chainpipe ─ you specify the contract address and we'll index it in minutes.
    2. You can access the data in a variety of ways, including directly in a managed Postgres table. We will be adding support for GraphQL, custom REST API endpoints, BigQuery and other destinations soon.
  2. A comprehensive API library
    1. We have over 150 API endpoints available off-the-shelf, ranging from NFT to DeFi to Social.
    2. A few examples of things you can do:
      1. Render NFTs in your app
      2. View recently created pools on Uniswap
      3. Calculate trading volumes, floor prices and market caps
      4. Track NFT ownership
      5. And more!
