# GoldRush

## Introduction

[GoldRush](https://goldrush.dev/) is a set of foundational multichain data APIs and toolkits for easy web3 development across 100+ chains. Powered by the [Covalent Network](https://www.covalenthq.com/), which is decentralized and cryptographically secure, GoldRush offers structured onchain data, through powerful APIs, SDKs and UI Kits, including:

* Token balances
* Historical transactions
* Decoded event logs
* Traces with internal transactions, state changes and input data (foundational chains only)

GoldRush maintains a full archival copy of every supported blockchain, meaning every balance, transaction, log event, and NFT asset data is available from the genesis block. This data is available via:

* GoldRush API (formerly known as the Unified API) - Incorporate blockchain data into your app with a familiar REST API
* Increment - Create and embed custom charts with no-code analytics

**Consider using GoldRush if you need:**

* Structured and enhanced on-chain data well beyond what you get from RPC providers
* Broad and deep multi-chain data at scale
* Enterprise-grade performance

### Increment

<figure><img src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/86369/1684974544-increment-example-partner-docs.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Increment is a novel no-code charting and reporting tool powered by Covalent, revolutionizing how the Web3 space approaches analytics. Many analytics tools let you write SQL to create charts, but *Increment is the only one to encode business logic - Reach, Retention, and Revenue - into an SQL compiler that can write valid SQL for you.*

#### Increment use cases

Increment can be used for:

* [Analyzing Blockchain Networks](https://www.covalenthq.com/docs/increment/data-models/chain-gdp/?utm_source=cronos\&utm_medium=partner-docs)
* [Analyzing DEXs](https://goldrush.dev/guides/how-to-use-covalent-s-dex-api-for-defi-apps/)
* [Analyzing NFT Marketplaces](https://www.covalenthq.com/docs/increment/data-models/jpeg-analysis/?utm_source=cronos\&utm_medium=partner-docs)

For example, click on the following table to get the latest number of active wallets, transactions and tokens by day, week, month, or year for Cronos:

## Use Cases

The Covalent API supports a broad range of Web3 data use cases including:

* Gaming
* Defi Taxes
* KYC
* NFTs
* Wallets
* Dashboards
* Dao Data
* Dex & Trading
* and many more
