Indexed KaiaBlockchain Data

Kaia is the Klaytn mainnet renamed in a 2024 hard fork, an EVM Layer 1 with one-second Istanbul BFT finality and transaction types where a fee payer other than the sender covers gas.

How to query Kaia data with SonarX

Instant Data Share

Available today

Snowflake, and file dumps to your object storage

Query Kaia blockchain data with plain SQL from a live database inside your own Snowflake account, populated with the indexed chain dataset. There is no pipeline to build and no second copy to store. The same dataset ships as file dumps to your own object storage for lakes and warehouses that are not Snowflake.

  • Full history as a Snowflake data-share
  • File dumps to S3 or your own object storage
  • Real-time delivery, current to chain tip — on request

Used for:

  • Analytics teams already on Snowflake that want Kaia data beside their existing tables
  • Fund accounting and treasury reporting that reconciles against a fixed history
  • Cross-chain questions answered in one SQL statement instead of one query per chain
  • Loading Kaia history into BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift or a Spark lake
  • Replacing a self-hosted indexer and the engineering time that keeps it running
  • Serving one governed dataset to several desks without copying it per team

Kafka Streaming

Enabled on request

Event stream

Consume Kaia activity as a continuous stream of normalized records, produced as the chain is indexed instead of polled for.

Used for:

  • Trading and execution systems that act on Kaia activity within seconds
  • Fraud and anomaly detection that has to fire before settlement
  • Live dashboards and alerting on Kaia wallet or protocol activity
  • Feeding a stream processor that already reads from Kafka
  • Keeping an internal store hot without waiting for a batch window
  • Event-driven services that would otherwise poll on a timer

Balances

Available today

Tables and REST

Read what a Kaia address held, either as it stands now or exactly as it stood at a past block or timestamp.

  • Point-in-time balance tables, as at any block or timestamp — on request
  • Real-time balances API for latest and historical balances
  • Batch API for wallets, tokens and balances in bulk

Used for:

  • Reconstructing Kaia portfolios and NAV as at a reporting date
  • Audit and reconciliation work that has to be repeatable months later
  • Wallet and portfolio products that render Kaia balances on page load
  • Compliance checks that read one Kaia address at one block height
  • Refreshing holdings for a whole book of accounts on a schedule
  • Tax and cost-basis workflows that need holdings at each event

Realtime API

Enabled on request

REST over the indexed dataset

Query indexed Kaia records over REST, reading the same dataset the share reads, with no warehouse in the path.

Used for:

  • Applications that need one answer rather than a table scan
  • Customer-facing screens where query latency is visible to a user
  • Services that have no data warehouse and do not want to run one
  • Prototyping against production data before committing to a share
  • Backend checks that run per request instead of per batch
  • Teams that want indexed Kaia data behind their own API layer

Kaia data: frequently asked questions

What is Kaia?

Kaia is the chain that launched as Klaytn in 2019 and was renamed in a hard fork whose transition activated on mainnet on 29 August 2024, keeping the same chain ID and the same block numbering. It came out of a merger with Finschia: KLAY balances were reflected as KAIA, while FNSA holders burned their tokens on the Finschia network and claimed the new asset here. Consensus is an optimized Istanbul BFT, so a block is produced and confirmed in about a second with immediate finality, and validators form a council rather than an open set. Execution is the EVM over twenty-byte addresses, with two additions Ethereum lacks: transaction types in which a fee payer other than the sender covers gas, and accounts whose keys can be multi-signature or role-based. Compare the validator model with BSC.

Kaia data on SonarX

SonarX indexes Kaia blocks and headers, transactions and receipts, decoded event logs, execution traces including internal value transfers, and token transfers and balances, in the normalized model used on every chain SonarX covers.

Full historical coverage is available today as a data-share or a file delivery. Real-time delivery is enabled on request. The real-time balances API and the batch wallets, tokens and balances API are available for Kaia, and the rest can be enabled on request. Kafka streaming can be enabled for Kaia on request.

How SonarX indexes Kaia

Transactions on this chain do not all have Ethereum’s shape. Fee delegation means the account that paid is often not the account that sent, and partial delegation splits one cost between two parties, so cost attribution is a two-sided record rather than a subtraction from the sender’s balance. Account keys are the second difference: a single account can be controlled by several keys with distinct roles, so authorization is not a one-to-one mapping from address to signer. The rename is the third. Balances that read as KLAY before August 2024 read as KAIA after it, in one unbroken series, and a pipeline that treats them as two assets will double count supply.

What teams build with Kaia data

Sponsored-transaction accounting is the workload specific to this chain. When an application pays its users’ gas, the cost of running that application is a fee-payer series, not a sum of user fees, and only the delegated records answer it. Consumer token and NFT analysis is the second job, since much of the activity here comes from applications with large retail user bases, and token analytics covers the asset side of it across networks. Portfolio and treasury reporting is the third and has to run through the rename cleanly. Teams comparing chains with fixed producer sets often look at TRON alongside it.

Getting Kaia data from SonarX

Tell us the delivery target, how far back you need and how fresh it has to be, and the share is scoped against that. Kaia history back to the Klaytn years and the balance APIs are available now, so a first delivery is usually a provisioning question. The published coverage matrix for every network SonarX indexes lives in the data documentation, and the rest of the catalogue is at all indexed chains.

Is there a Kaia data API?

Yes. Real-time and batch APIs over indexed Kaia data are available today, covering historical and latest balances and wallet, token and balance lookups in bulk. They read from the same indexed dataset as the Snowflake share and the file delivery, so an API answer and a warehouse query agree.

How do I get Kaia data into Snowflake?

SonarX provisions a data-share into your own Snowflake account. The share appears as a database you query with SQL, so there is no pipeline to build and no second copy to store, and it stays current as SonarX advances the indexing pipeline.

How far back does Kaia coverage go?

The historical data-share and file delivery cover the chain from its 2019 launch as Klaytn forward and are available today, in one continuous series through the 2024 rename. Finschia, the other network in the merger, is not part of this history. Real-time delivery keeps the same dataset current to chain tip and is enabled on request.

Is Kaia the same chain as Klaytn?

Yes. Kaia is a hard fork of the Klaytn chain and the chain ID did not change, so block numbering and history continue rather than restart, and KLAY balances were simply reflected as KAIA when the transition activated on mainnet in August 2024. Finschia was the other half of the merger: FNSA was burned on that network and claimed here, so Finschia's own blocks sit outside this dataset.

How are Kaia's fee-delegated transactions represented in the data?

With the fee payer kept as its own party. Kaia supports transaction types where an account other than the sender pays the gas, in full or in part, which is how consumer applications here sponsor their users. A pipeline that assumes the sender paid will attribute costs to the wrong account, so indexed Kaia data records the sender, the fee payer and the split between them.
