Covalent was founded in 2018 and is a technology company specializing in removing bottlenecks in infrastructure, which hinders blockchain adoption. The company also specializes in bridging the well-established centralized databases with the latest distributed blockchain technologies.
Covalent’s native token CQT is the platform’s currency. It is used to facilitate interactions among the users and as a value base for validators who earn by solving problems put forth by developers. The Token holders are also entitled to vote on the project’s governance.
Coindesk quoted Graham Jenkin, CEO of CoinList, who said that users are fed up with individual blockchain data structure quirks. Instead, they desire a quick and easy process to access data. Covalent has indexed eight blockchain platforms to provide its data services. These include –
