Indexed NobleBlockchain Data
Noble is the Cosmos SDK appchain that exists to issue assets rather than host applications, charging its fees in the USDC it mints and burning dollars for reissue on other networks.
How to query Noble data with SonarX
Instant Data Share
Available todaySnowflake, and file dumps to your object storage
Query Noble 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 Noble 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 Noble 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
Realtime API
Enabled on requestREST over the indexed dataset
Query indexed Noble 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 Noble data behind their own API layer
Noble data: frequently asked questions
What is Noble?
Noble has produced blocks since March 2023, and it exists to issue assets rather than to host applications. It is a sovereign Cosmos SDK Layer 1 whose validator set runs under proof of authority, and its fee token is USDC: transactions are paid for in the dollar the chain issues rather than in a volatile asset, and the staking asset behind the validator set is permissioned rather than publicly traded. Accounts use bech32 with a noble prefix. Issuance is the whole product: Circle mints native USDC here, Ondo’s treasury-backed USDY and Monerium’s euro token are issued here, and the chain’s own yield-bearing dollar, USDN, is a protocol module rather than a contract. Noble also implements Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol, so a dollar can be burned here and minted on another network without a wrapped representation standing in between.
Noble data on SonarX
SonarX indexes what an issuance chain records: blocks and transactions with their typed messages, mints and burns per asset, issuer and controller actions, IBC transfers with the channels they crossed, the burn and mint legs of cross-chain transfers, and derived balances, normalized into the model used for every network SonarX covers. A dollar issued here can then be followed into the Cosmos Hub or wherever else it landed.
Full historical coverage is available today as a data-share or a file delivery. Real-time delivery is enabled on request.
How SonarX indexes Noble
Supply is the hard part, and it is not the sum of local balances. Most of what is minted here leaves within minutes over IBC or as a cross-chain burn, so the amount sitting in accounts at any height is a fraction of what the chain has issued, and a supply series has to be rebuilt from issuance records instead. Control actions matter as much as movement: an issuer can freeze an account or stop minting, and those are module decisions rather than transfers. Fees are paid in the asset being moved, so cost and flow share one unit.
What teams build with Noble data
Stablecoin supply accounting is the first workload: issuance and redemption per asset, netted against what left the chain, which is the number a treasury or an auditor asks for. Settlement tracing is the second, matching a burn here to the mint that answered it on another network so a cross-chain payment has one continuous record. Holder analysis is the third, and it is where the fee model helps, because balances and costs are already denominated in dollars. Desks funding positions elsewhere run this alongside venue data from dYdX, where margin arrives as dollars issued here. Token analytics covers issuance work of this kind across chains.
Getting Noble 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. Noble history is available now as a share or a file delivery, and streaming is provisioned on request. Say which assets matter, because scoping by asset beats taking the chain whole. 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 Noble data API?
APIs over indexed Noble 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 Noble 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 Noble coverage go?
The historical data-share and file delivery cover the chain's recorded history from its 2023 genesis forward, and are available today. Assets were added to the chain over time, so a single token's history begins at its first mint rather than at the chain's first block, and the share is scoped against the assets an analysis actually needs.
What token pays transaction fees on Noble?
USDC, the asset the chain issues, rather than a volatile token of its own. The validator set runs under proof of authority and its staking asset is permissioned rather than publicly traded. For an analyst that is convenient: fees, transfers and balances are denominated in the same unit, so a cost series is readable without a price history behind it.
