<h2 class="heading-node">About Covalent</h2>Covalent is the data infrastructure layer that transforms raw blockchain state into verified, structured data across 100+ networks, including Solana, powering apps, institutions and AI agents.We build <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://goldrush.dev/">GoldRush</a>, the most comprehensive blockchain data API suite that lets you skip indexing and go straight to building, using a single API key. It indexes full on-chain data, from genesis to latest block, across multiple data types: balances, transactions, logs, pricing, and smart contract events, giving you complete coverage without running your own nodes.Unlike raw RPC providers, GoldRush delivers refined, structured data - decoded events, token metadata, USD pricing, and classified transactions like DEX swaps, stablecoin transfers, and bridge events - ready to use out of the box.GoldRush Documentation - <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://goldrush.dev/docs">https://goldrush.dev/docs</a>To get started with GoldRush, sign up <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://goldrush.dev/platform/auth/register/">here</a> for trial plan.<h2 class="heading-node">Your Mission</h2>Use GoldRush's APIs to power a product that solves a real problem, whether that's giving users better visibility into their assets, helping traders make faster decisions, enabling AI agents to reason about on-chain activity, or surfacing insights that raw blockchain data alone can't provide.<h2 class="heading-node">Hackathon Track Scope</h2>We're open to any project that puts GoldRush data to work.
