Best Robinhood Chain Data APIs Compared: Crius, Bitquery, Alchemy & More
Which APIs cover Robinhood Chain in October 2026: RPC providers, multi-chain indexers and market-data APIs compared on data, history, streaming, price.
Crius 11 min read
As of October 2026, Robinhood Chain data is available from four kinds of provider: node providers (Alchemy, QuickNode, Goldsky Edge) for raw JSON-RPC, multi-chain data APIs (Bitquery, GoldRush, Mobula) for decoded data in a cross-chain schema, a SQL warehouse (Dune) for analysis, and chain-specific or market-data APIs (Crius, GeckoTerminal, DexScreener) for prices, trades and token analytics. Which one is “best” depends on whether you need to write transactions, query one chain deeply, or query many chains the same way.
We build Crius, so read this with that in mind. We have tried to be fair: every third-party claim below comes from the provider’s own pages or public API, checked on October 23–24, 2026, and each source is linked. Where we could not verify a claim ourselves, we say so. Pricing and coverage on a young chain change quickly, so check the linked pages before you commit.
What to compare on a young chain
Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663) launched on mainnet in mid-2026. It produces a block roughly every 105 ms and, at time of writing, about 2.4 million transactions and 1.65 million DEX trades a day. On a chain this young and this fast, “supports Robinhood Chain” can mean very different things. These are the questions that separate providers:
- Raw or decoded? Many providers add a new chain by running nodes and proxying JSON-RPC. That’s essential if you send transactions, but it leaves decoding swaps, pricing tokens and attributing traders to you.
- How far back does history go? Indexers often start when they added the chain, not at block 0. Self-serve plans may also cap how much history you can query.
- Which venues are decoded? Uniswap v2, v3 and v4 are table stakes. Launchpad bonding curves (Pons, Flap.sh, Bankr and others), tokenized stocks and v4 hooks are where coverage differs.
- How do you get real-time data? Polling, WebSocket subscriptions, webhooks or Kafka streams, and at what latency and price.
- What does it cost to start? A permanent free tier, a time-limited trial or neither.

“Not verified” means we could not confirm the capability for Robinhood Chain on the provider’s own documentation. It may still exist.
Node providers: Alchemy, QuickNode and Goldsky Edge
Use a node provider when your app sends transactions or reads contract state directly (eth_call, balances at the head). Every Robinhood Chain wallet, dApp and bot that writes to the chain needs one, and no indexed data API replaces it. Robinhood also runs a public RPC endpoint (https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com), which is fine for testing but shared and rate-limited.
Alchemy lists Robinhood Chain mainnet with RPC and WebSocket endpoints and, on top of the node, its Prices, Token, NFT, Transfers, Webhooks, Bundler and Gas Manager APIs. Its network page also lists what is not supported on the chain: the Debug and Trace APIs, the Transaction Receipts API, the Block Timestamp API, user-operation simulation and gRPC (Alchemy network page). The free plan includes 30 million compute units a month and 15 requests per second; pay-as-you-go costs $0.525 per million compute units (Alchemy pricing).
QuickNode offers Robinhood Chain mainnet and testnet with archive data, debug and trace methods, and its Streams product (QuickNode chain page). Trace access matters if you need internal ETH transfers or full call trees, which plain logs don’t show.
Goldsky Edge is a low-latency RPC endpoint for the chain, alongside Goldsky’s indexing products below (Goldsky chain page).
What none of these give you directly is a decoded answer to “what did this token trade at, who bought it and who holds it now”. With raw RPC you fetch logs, decode Uniswap v2, v3 and v4 events and launchpad curves yourself, price every token through the right pool and handle reorgs. Our post on REST API vs RPC vs indexed data APIs walks through that work with code.
Multi-chain data APIs: Bitquery, GoldRush and Mobula
Use a multi-chain API when Robinhood Chain is one of several chains you query and you want the same query shape everywhere.
Bitquery indexes Robinhood Chain into the same decoded GraphQL schema it uses for Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and others, and serves it over GraphQL, WebSocket, Kafka and bulk export. Its Robinhood Chain page lists decoded DEX trades with OHLCV, transfers, balances, token holders, smart-contract events and call traces, canonical bridge flows, and tokenized-stock data including dividend multiplier events (Bitquery Robinhood Chain API). Its documentation has Robinhood-specific guides for trades, new pools and trending tokens, transfers, holders and supply, events, calls and traces, and launchpad guides including Pons and Flap.sh (Bitquery Robinhood docs). OHLCV is aggregated from trades inside your query rather than served as a ready-made candle endpoint. Bitquery advertises plans from $49/month; billed annually, Personal is $29/month (100k points, API only, non-commercial), Pro $69/month (1M points, streaming, commercial use) and Scale $199/month. The self-serve plans list “30-day trades”; complete history is part of Enterprise or archive add-ons, and Bitquery itself advises checking historical depth against your own queries. Its blog mentions a 7-day trial (Bitquery guide). Our Crius vs Bitquery page goes deeper. Bitquery does not provide RPC or transaction broadcasting, so you pair it with a node provider.
GoldRush (formerly Covalent) has a Robinhood Chain page stating that it indexes “the full chain, from genesis to the latest block, covering balances, transactions, logs, pricing, and smart contract events” (GoldRush chain page). Its documentation lists wallet balances, transactions, transfers, decoded logs, token holders and a JSON-RPC endpoint for the chain (GoldRush docs). Pricing starts with a 14-day free trial, then $10/month (10,000 credits) for side projects, and $250/month (300,000 credits) for production (GoldRush pricing). We could not confirm decoded DEX trades or candles for Robinhood Chain in its documentation. See Crius vs GoldRush.
Mobula documents Robinhood Chain support for token prices and markets, price history and OHLCV (token and market level), trades, holders, token security, wallet analytics and a swap API, plus integration guides for several Robinhood Chain launchpads (Mobula Robinhood Chain docs). It’s the closest in shape to Crius among multi-chain APIs. Its free plan includes 10,000 credits a month at 1 request per second, with paid plans from $50/month (Mobula pricing). See Crius vs Mobula.
A SQL warehouse: Dune
Dune indexes Robinhood Chain under the robinhood schema: raw blocks, transactions, logs and traces tables, ABI-decoded contract tables, and standard ERC-20 and ERC-721 event tables (Dune Robinhood Chain docs). It’s excellent for research, dashboards and one-off exports in SQL, where you aggregate trades, candles and holders yourself. It isn’t a low-latency application API or a push stream. See Crius vs Dune.
Build-your-own indexing: Goldsky
Goldsky offers Turbo Pipelines (stream chain data into Postgres, ClickHouse, S3 or Kafka), subgraphs and Edge RPC for Robinhood Chain (Goldsky chain page). The free starter plan includes $100 in credits with no card; production is usage-based (Goldsky pricing). This is the right choice if you want your own schema and your own database and have the engineering time to write the decoding and pricing logic. You get pipes, not finished answers.
Market-data APIs: GeckoTerminal and DexScreener
GeckoTerminal’s public API lists Robinhood Chain under the network id robinhood (we confirmed this against its /networks endpoint). It provides pool and token prices, OHLCV for pools it lists and recent trades per pool. It has no wallet balances, holders, transfers or streaming.
DexScreener’s API returns Robinhood Chain pairs under the chain id robinhood (confirmed via its search endpoint). It’s useful for pair prices and token search, not for history or holders.
Both are good free options for a price widget or a quick lookup.
Crius: a Robinhood Chain–specific indexed API
Crius covers one chain and goes deep on it. It indexes Robinhood Chain from block 0 to the head and serves decoded data over REST and WebSocket (what the API covers):
- Prices and candles for every token, including tokenized stocks, with pool liquidity and a confidence level. Candles from 1 second to 1 day merge a token’s real markets, so thin pools can’t draw fake wicks (OHLCV API).
- Trades with real trader attribution through routers, aggregators, solvers and ERC-4337 bundlers, with USD value at trade time, gas and realized token tax (DEX trades API).
- Holders: live lists with pools, lockers and developers labelled, plus snapshots at any past block, timestamp or market cap (token holders API).
- Launchpads: Pons, Flap.sh, Bankr, Long.xyz and King of the Markets, including bonding-curve progress and graduations (launchpad API).
- Risk and forensics: realized and simulated taxes, honeypot simulation, LP locks, bundles, snipers and holder bubble maps.
- Streaming over WebSocket: trades, prices, candles, launches, graduations and new pools, with resume and reorg messages (WebSocket API).
Core endpoints work with no key at 2 requests per second. The free plan adds 1,000,000 credits a month, 10 requests per second and one WebSocket connection. Paid plans are $19, $79 and $249 a month, paid on-chain in USDG, ETH or WETH (pricing).
What Crius doesn’t do: it covers only Robinhood Chain, and it doesn’t send transactions or proxy RPC. For writes you still need one of the node providers above.
How to pick
| If you need… | Start with |
|---|---|
| To send transactions or read contract state | A node provider: Alchemy, QuickNode, Goldsky Edge or the public RPC |
| The same queries across many chains | A multi-chain API: Bitquery, GoldRush or Mobula |
| SQL research and dashboards | Dune |
| Your own schema in your own database | Goldsky pipelines or your own indexer |
| A free price widget | GeckoTerminal or DexScreener |
| Deep Robinhood Chain data: launchpads, holders, trader attribution, full history, streams | Crius |
Many teams use two: a node provider for writes and an indexed API for reads.
Test before you choose
Coverage tables, including this one, age quickly. Before you commit, run three checks against any provider’s trial:
- Oldest data. Ask for a token’s first trades or a wallet’s earliest transfer. This shows where the index really starts.
- A launchpad token. Pick a token that launched on Pons or Flap.sh and graduated. Check that its chart covers the bonding-curve period and the pool after graduation, and that the price is in USD.
- A routed trade. Find a swap that went through a router or aggregator and check whether the trader shown is the real wallet or the router contract.
Each takes minutes. With Crius you can run all three in the API playground without signing up; the quickstart and token reference show the calls.
FAQ
Which APIs support Robinhood Chain? As of October 2026: node providers Alchemy, QuickNode and Goldsky Edge; data APIs Bitquery, GoldRush, Mobula and Crius; the Dune SQL warehouse; indexing infrastructure from Goldsky; and market-data APIs GeckoTerminal and DexScreener. Robinhood also runs a public RPC endpoint.
What is the cheapest way to get Robinhood Chain data? For prices only, GeckoTerminal’s and DexScreener’s public APIs are free, and Mobula has a small free plan. For decoded trades, holders and history, Crius has no-key access and a free plan with 1,000,000 credits a month; Alchemy’s free tier covers raw RPC.
Is Bitquery or Crius better for Robinhood Chain? Bitquery fits teams querying many chains through one GraphQL schema, with Kafka streaming. Crius fits teams building on Robinhood Chain specifically, especially around launchpads, holders and trader attribution, and includes history from block 0 on every plan.
Do I still need an RPC provider if I use an indexed API? Yes, if your app sends transactions. Indexed APIs are read-only.
Does any provider offer Robinhood Chain traces?
QuickNode lists debug and trace APIs for the chain; Alchemy lists them as not currently supported. Bitquery lists decoded call traces, and Dune has a raw traces table. Crius uses traces internally for internal ETH transfers and funding links.
