Today, we’re excited to introduce Echo, a new addition to the Dune ecosystem. Designed to empower developers, Echo offers real-time, multichain access to blockchain data.

Why Echo?

Blockchain developers often face challenges when it comes to accessing timely, accurate data across multiple networks. With fragmented tools and varying levels of support for different chains, building robust, real-time applications has historically been a complex and resource-intensive task. Echo solves this by providing a single platform that delivers unified, real-time blockchain data, enabling developers to focus on building innovative applications rather than wrestling with data pipelines.

Key Features of Echo

Echo is designed with developers in mind, offering the following key features:

• Multichain Support
  Echo consolidates data from 30+ blockchain networks into a single API.
• Real-Time Data
  Echo ensures that developers receive data within 300ms of block propagation.
• Reorg Awareness
  Blockchain reorgs can complicate data accuracy, but Echo handles these seamlessly. Developers can confidently build applications without worrying about finality guarantees across different chains.
• Lightning-Fast Performance
  With a p99 request latency of 500ms, Echo is among the fastest APIs in the crypto industry.‍
• User-Friendly Interface
  Developed in collaboration with developers and customers such as Layer3, Boost, and Reservoir, Echo offers an intuitive interface that simplifies accessing and managing blockchain data.

APIs for Seamless Data Access

At launch, Echo offers two core APIs:

1. Balances API: Quickly retrieve real-time account balances across chains.
2. Transactions API: Effortlessly analyze transaction history and on-chain activity.

These APIs provide developers with the essential tools needed to query and analyze blockchain data with ease and efficiency.

Coming next are Wallet Activity and Indexing APIs.

“Echo is designed to provide developers with the tools they need to build protocol frontends, wherever they are deployed. Echo enables account and protocol data in real-time, simplifying the development process and enabling faster, more dynamic user experiences,” said Mats Olsen, Co-founder & CTO of Dune. 

Echo is now available. Developers can start exploring the platform and its APIs today at dune.com/echo.
