Indexing & on-chain data
The The Graph alternative with everything on one key
The Graph indexes contract data through subgraphs you author and deploy. 1st Node gives you decoded transactions, logs and transfers directly over REST — no schema to maintain — and pairs them with the RPC, intelligence and compliance layers on a single key.
Where The Graph shines
The Graph is known for its decentralized indexing protocol and flexible subgraph queries.
What you also get with 1st Node
- Decoded logs, transfers and receipts over REST — no subgraph to write or host.
- Archive RPC underneath the decoded data on the same key.
- Intelligence graph and AML for use cases beyond contract indexing.
- Credit-metered per call rather than query fees on a curated network.

Frequently asked
Do I need to write a subgraph?
No — decoded data is served directly; you query endpoints, not a schema you deploy.
Can I still access raw events?
Yes — eth_getLogs and decoded log primitives are both available on one key.
Top up, get a key, ship.
Self-serve. Pay in crypto or card. Metered by credits — heavy primitives cost more, simple ones are cheap.
