Indexed KavaBlockchain Data
Kava is the EVM co-chain of a Cosmos SDK Layer 1, sharing one validator set and one block height with its Cosmos side, with a protocol module carrying assets between them.
How to query Kava data with SonarX
Instant Data Share
Available todaySnowflake, and file dumps to your object storage
Query Kava 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 Kava 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 Kava 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 requestEvent stream
Consume Kava 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 Kava activity within seconds
- Fraud and anomaly detection that has to fire before settlement
- Live dashboards and alerting on Kava 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
Enabled on requestTables and REST
Read what a Kava 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
- Real-time balances API for latest and historical balances
- Batch API for wallets, tokens and balances in bulk
Used for:
- Reconstructing Kava 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 Kava balances on page load
- Compliance checks that read one Kava 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 requestREST over the indexed dataset
Query indexed Kava 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 Kava data behind their own API layer
Kava data: frequently asked questions
What is Kava?
Kava’s mainnet has produced blocks since 2019 as a Cosmos SDK Layer 1, with validators running Tendermint BFT and blocks arriving about every six seconds, final at the block that carries them. The co-chain design is what makes it two things at once. One network runs a Cosmos environment of SDK modules and an EVM environment for Solidity contracts, under a single validator set and a single block height, and a protocol translator module carries assets between them. This page covers the EVM co-chain, which answers to chain ID 2222 and charges gas in KAVA; the Cosmos co-chain is indexed separately at Kava Cosmos. KAVA is the native token, bonding validators, voting in governance and paying for gas on this side. The EVM co-chain arrived after the network launched, so its records begin later than the chain’s first block.
Kava data on SonarX
SonarX indexes the EVM co-chain in the shapes an EVM team already queries: blocks and headers, transactions and receipts, event logs decoded against contract ABIs, execution traces with internal value transfers, and token transfers and balances. Those records land in the normalized model SonarX uses on every network it covers.
Full historical coverage is available today as a data-share or a file delivery. Real-time delivery is enabled on request. Balance tables and the balance APIs can be enabled for Kava on request. Kafka streaming can be enabled for Kava on request.
How SonarX indexes Kava
One network, two sets of records, one height. The EVM co-chain and the Cosmos co-chain advance together, so SonarX indexes them as two datasets joined on that shared height rather than merging them into a single stream. Assets crossing between the co-chains pass through the translator module, leaving one side and appearing on the other, so adding both sides states a single holding twice. Identity repeats the pattern: one key yields a kava1 bech32 address and a twenty-byte address, and a holder view stitches the pair before deriving balances. Six-second blocks that finalize on arrival mean there is no reorganization to unwind, only a steady row rate to carry.
What teams build with Kava data
Protocol analytics is the direct case: lending and collateral contracts deployed on this side, studied through decoded logs and traces rather than through transfers alone, which is the shape of work DeFi analytics covers. Cross-co-chain flow analysis is the second, following value through the translator module so a movement is counted once rather than twice. Validator and reward accounting is the third, and it runs against the Cosmos side of the same network, because staking is a module there while the contracts sit here. Teams comparing dual-surface networks usually pull Sei into the same warehouse.
Getting Kava data from SonarX
Tell us which co-chain you need, how far back, and where the data should land, and the share is scoped against that. EVM history is available now as a share or a file delivery, and streaming is provisioned on request. 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 Kava data API?
Real-time and batch APIs over indexed Kava data are enabled on request: the same indexed dataset the Snowflake share reads, served over REST once provisioned. Tell us the lookup pattern you need.
How do I get Kava 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 Kava coverage go?
The historical data-share and file delivery cover the EVM co-chain from its arrival forward, and are available today. The network is older than that surface, so a workflow that needs the earlier years reads the Cosmos side, and the two are scoped together. Real-time delivery keeps the same dataset current to chain tip and is enabled on request.
Are Kava and Kava Cosmos the same network?
Yes, and they are two co-chains inside it. This page covers the EVM co-chain, where Solidity contracts run and gas is paid in KAVA. Kava Cosmos, covered on its own page, is the Cosmos SDK environment of the same network, under the same validators and the same block height. They produce different records, so SonarX indexes them as two datasets joined on that shared height.
Do Kava's co-chains share one dataset?
No. They share a validator set, a block height and a token, but they emit different records, so SonarX indexes the EVM co-chain as this dataset and the Cosmos co-chain as its own. The shared height is the join key. That join is usually the point: an asset carried across by the translator module leaves one side and appears on the other, and only the pair of records describes the position.
