Octav API Hits 150% Monthly Growth with Custom Blockchain Data Pipeline
Octav API Hits 150% Monthly Growth with Custom Blockchain Data Pipeline
馃敡 Two-year blockchain secret
Octav's API achieves 150% month-over-month growth six months after launch, with developers praising their superior data quality.
Built from scratch infrastructure:
- Own blockchain nodes and RPCs
- Custom explorers
- Custom Indexing Engine (CIE) filters spam transactions and scam tokens
The CIE took two years to develop and continuously improves through machine learning. As more contracts use the system, it becomes faster and more accurate for subsequent requests.
Key advantages:
- Clean, usable blockchain data for developers
- Self-improving algorithm
- Two-year head start over competitors
