Indexed MoonbeamBlockchain Data

Moonbeam has produced blocks as a Polkadot parachain since late 2021, after winning a slot in Polkadot’s first round of parachain auctions. It is not a standalone Layer 1. Collators assemble its blocks under Nimbus, and finality arrives when the Polkadot relay chain validates them, so the chain rents security rather than producing it. Above that layer the environment is Ethereum’s: the EVM against an account model, network id 1284, Solidity contracts, receipts and event logs that decode against their ABIs. GLMR is the native token and pays for gas. What Moonbeam did differently was unify accounts. There is one twenty-byte address per account rather than a Substrate identity sitting beside an Ethereum one, which is why a Moonbeam address is indistinguishable from a mainnet address. Substrate functionality with no EVM equivalent, including staking, governance and cross-consensus transfers, is reachable from Solidity through precompiles. Moonriver, the sister network on Kusama, launched earlier and still runs.

SonarX indexes Moonbeam end to end: blocks and headers, transactions and receipts, event logs decoded against contract ABIs, execution traces including internal value transfers, and token transfers and balances. Runtime activity that moves value without touching the EVM is indexed beside the contract records rather than left out. 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 Moonbeam on request. Kafka streaming can be enabled for Moonbeam on request.

Two properties separate this from an EVM Layer 1. Finality is not Moonbeam’s to give: a parachain block is provisional until the relay chain includes and finalizes it, so recent heads are revisable against the relay chain’s view rather than counted as local confirmations. The second is that the EVM sees only part of the state. Collator rewards, delegation, treasury spending and assets arriving over cross-consensus messages are runtime events with nothing to decode, and assets bridged from other parachains appear as XC-20 tokens at reserved addresses rather than as deployed contracts.

Cross-chain asset accounting is the recurring workload. An XC-20 balance is a claim on an asset that originated elsewhere, so a position is only counted once after its provenance is resolved, and that is a join across networks rather than a lookup. Delegation and reward accounting is the second, since collator selection is a staking market and the payouts never appear as transfers. Protocol analytics sits third, and on this chain it has to read contract logs and runtime records together rather than either alone. DeFi analytics covers that work across chains. Governance and treasury reporting turns up as a fourth, because proposals, votes and spending are recorded in the runtime and read like a public ledger of decisions. Teams covering the wider ecosystem usually pull Astar into the same warehouse.

Tell us the delivery target, how far back you need and how fresh it has to be, and the share is scoped against that. Moonbeam history is available now, so a first delivery is provisioning rather than engineering. 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.
