Covalent X Arbitrum Nova: Up-to-date Data For Developers

Covalent, a provider of deep, granular, and historic blockchain data, has announced a collaboration with Arbitrum Nova to improve data availability for developers building next-generation gaming apps with social applications within the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Protocols, institutions, and dApp developers highly value Web3 data and analytics. The Covalent developers claim their data collection process ensures the most up-to-date information retrieval from 90+ blockchains and alternative sources (app chains, L2s, etc.).

“AtCovalent, our mission is to support developers with unparalleled access to valuable data endpoints – which, in turn, helps scale the entire Web3 ecosystem and boost mass adoption.” ~said Ganesh Swami, CEO & Co-founder at Covalent

Meanwhile, Arbitrum Nova enables Covalent users to build and analyze data in this developing space by accelerating the development of Web3 social applications.

“When we launched Arbitrum Nova, we envisioned it as a supported environment where developers could create exceptional gaming and social dApps,” said David Bolger, Partnership Manager at Offchain Labs.

Moreover, in January, NFT giant OpenSea announced that it would support Arbitrum Nova, allowing users to buy or sell NFTs cheaper than Ethereum.

The DeFi ecosystem on Arbitrum shows promise, especially in decentralized derivatives trading. The Layer-2 network also surpassed Ethereum in terms of daily transactions on February 21, when it reached 1.1 million transactions, about 20,000 more than Ethereum.

At the time of writing, Arbitrum has a total volume locked of $3.02 billion, with decentralized spot and perpetual exchange GMX dominating 31.2%.
