Enhanced Token Spam Lists

With the release of the Enhanced Spam Lists for ERC20 tokens and NFTs across all Foundational Chains, the following GoldRush APIs are now seamlessly updated to leverage these lists:

• Get token balances for address using the no-spam query parameter.
• Get historical token balances for address using the no-spam query parameter.
• Get NFTs for address using the no-spam query parameter.

In addition, any of the API responses with the is_spam field will incorporate the Enhanced Spam Lists.

​

Update to Token Holders API

The following changes were made to the Token Holders API:

• When no block-height is specified, the response is from the latest token holder snapshot that is updated every 30 minutes. This results in a fast response time.
• To fetch the current token holders list without using the snapshot, set no-snapshot=true. This bypasses the cache and is dynamically calculated at request time.

The snapshot exists for the top 100 tokens on each Foundational Chain as listed on CoinGecko.

This modification is to help address the two unique use cases for this API:

1. Displaying a list of token holders on leaderboards to provide guidance on a token’s distribution. This list does not generally need to be accurate to the minute.
2. Token holder lists for reward distributions and token gating. This is generally an accurate token list generated at a specific point in time.

• token_0_price - Price of token_0 in units of token_1.
• token_0_price_24 - Price of token_0 in units of token_1 as of 24 hours ago.
• token_0_price_quote - Price of token_0 in the selected quote currency (defaults to USD)
• Similar values for token_1_xx making up the pool pair.

This API leverages the onchain sync event to get the spot prices.

Some key points to note:

• The pagination method used for this API are cursors . Note the response includes the following cursor specific fields:
  • cursor_before - fetch token balances before a certain point in the response.
  • The values of these fields can be passed as query params to scroll through the token balances using before={cursor_before}.
• If cursor_before=null , you have reached the first page of the token balances list.
• ALL supported chains can be passed in the chains= query param (both chain names and ID’s are supported) up to a maximum of 10 chains.
• When no chains are specified, the API defaults to use the Foundational Chains.
• ERC20 token spam filtering is currently not supported but will be added. In the response, is_spam will always default to false.
• When the cutoff-timestamp query param is passed, the balance snapshot will be from the nearest block before the specified cutoff time.

GoldRush Changes Phase 1: Chain Classification & Prioritization

GoldRush is reorganizing its support for various chains by grouping them into four distinct categories:

Foundational Chains: These are the top EVM-compatible chains that have achieved wide adoption. For these chains, GoldRush guarantees product parity across its entire suite of features. This includes tracing enhancements, historical token balances, token holders, and cached NFT assets. In addition, we’ll provide ecosystem support in the form of API credits, hackathon bounties, workshops, guides, and co-marketing activities.

Frontier Chains: These chains, both EVM and non-EVM compatible, represent the cutting edge of blockchain innovation. While not all product features will be available for Frontier Chains, GoldRush will continue to offer its core APIs at an enterprise level, along with ecosystem support.

Community Chains: These chains include those with passionate builder communities and will will offer core APIs including balances, transactions, and decoded log events.

Archived Chains: No live data will be available for archived chains. Only historical data will continue to be provided for a brief period of time.

New Multichain & Multiaddress Transactions API

Introducing the new GoldRush Multichain & Multiaddress Transactions API where you can fetch transactions for up to 10 EVM addresses across 10 EVM chains with one API call.

Some key points to note:

• The pagination method used for this API are cursors . Note the response includes the following cursor specific fields:

  • cursor_before
  • cursor_after The values of these fields can be passed as query params to scroll through the transactions using before={cursor_before} or after={cursor_after}

• If cursor_before=null , you’ve reached the first page of the descending transaction list

• Cursors are linked to the list of chains that transactions are fetched from. If, for example, you obtain a cursor_before value when querying chains=1,56 and then try to use that value with chains=1,137 , you will get an error.

• ALL supported chains can be passed in the chains= query param (both chain names and ID’s are supported) up to a maximum of 10 chains.

• When no chains are specified, the API defaults to use the Foundational Chains.

​

Archiving Chains

Support for several chains with little to no use will be limited to historical data and categorized as ‘Archived Chains’ effective immediately. No live data will be available for these chains.

See the current list of Archived Chains here.

In general, GoldRush is reorganizing its prioritization and support for various chains with more on this to be announced soon.

Cached NFT Thumbnail Data Added

We just majorly updated our NFT endpoints with new cached thumbnail data!

This update includes several key fields: thumbnails, which provide various sizes of asset thumbnails like image_256, image_512, image_1024, and image_opengraph_url, tailored to different use cases including OpenGraph protocol; image_preview, an unmodified thumbnail of the asset; and asset_properties, detailing dimensions and the dominant color of the asset.

Devs can also benefit from the thumbhash feature, which allows for the decoding of thumbnail hashes into a blurred image preview, useful for enhancing loading experiences and privacy in NFT galleries and marketplaces.

This suite of enhancements supports a wide range of asset types, from images and videos to audio files, catering to diverse NFT displays.

​

Current NFT Owner Data Added

We’ve added a current_owner field to our NFT ownership endpoints:

• Get NFTs from contract with metadata.
• Get single NFT with cached metadata from contract.

The current_owner field gives you the wallet address of the current owner of that NFT. This new feature applies to all chains with NFT support.

​

New Viem-Compatible Client SDK

We now offer The Covalent Viem SDK, developed in TypeScript, which leverages the viem framework to offer a seamless integration path with the GoldRush API.

​

Introducing GoldRush Decoder: Decode, Visualize, Understand

In November 2023, we launched GoldRush Kit, a series of customizable React components for dApp frontends. Now, we introduce GoldRush Decoder, a transformative tool that translates raw log events from blockchain transactions into structured, human-readable formats.

GoldRush Decoder pairs directly with GoldRush Kit for easy visualization, however, it can be used as a standalone tool.

Traditional block explorers keep their data transformations private and inaccessible to users. GoldRush Decoder is different. This open-source tool acts as a public good for decoded data.

​

New Gas Parameter in Transaction Summary Endpoint

We recently added a new with-gas query parameter to the Get transaction summary for address endpoint.

This endpoint is commonly used to fetch the earliest and latest transactions, and the total transaction count for a wallet. The new with-gas parameter allows you to see the total gas quote for the wallet, as well as the average quote per transaction, and other insightful metadata.

​

CrossFi Testnet, Syndr Testnet, Celo and Taiko Katla Testnet Indexed

CrossFi Testnet, Syndr Testnet, Taiko Katla Testnet and Celo are now fully indexed! Users can query all on-chain data through our Class A endpoints.

New Gas Prices Endpoint

We just added a new endpoint; Get gas prices!

This endpoint enables users to get real-time gas estimates for different transaction speeds on a specific network, for the following event types:

• erc20 token transfers
• nativetokens transfers
• uniswapv3 swap events

Using these estimates, optimize your transaction costs and/or build your own gas tracker!

Note: the l1_gas_quote field is only relevant for queries on OP stack chains like Optimism, Base, etc.
