Overview

Key benefits

Filtered at the source

Receive only the events you need. Reduce processed events by 90%+ compared to full firehose streaming.

Visual pipeline builder with no Kafka consumers, transformation pipelines, or filtering logic to build.

SOC 1 & 2 certified. Same infrastructure powering Phantom, Uniswap, Circle, and MetaMask.

Use cases

Use case	Data problem	Beam solution
Wallet notifications	Alert users on stablecoin arrivals, token transfers, or NFT mints — without processing the full chain.	Filter by wallet address set, receive decoded transfer events, trigger notifications directly.
Transaction monitoring	Track activity for specific contracts or protocols. Full firehose volume is unmanageable.	Filter by contract address, receive decoded events, stream to your monitoring system.
Compliance alerting	Flag transactions above a threshold or monitor sanctioned addresses.	Filter by amount or address list, receive decoded data, trigger compliance workflows.
Real-time dashboards	Power live metrics without building data infrastructure.	Stream filtered, decoded data to your database. Query directly.
DeFi protocol monitoring	Track liquidations, large swaps, or position changes across protocols.	Filter by protocol events, receive decoded data with enriched context.

Beam vs Datastreams

Not sure which to use? Here’s a quick comparison.

	Datastreams	Beam
What it is	Full blockchain data streams delivered to your message broker	Custom-filtered stream transformations with a visual builder
Best for	Analytics pipelines, data lakes, teams with streaming infrastructure	Notifications, monitoring, alerting — teams who want filtered streams
Data	Full chain topics (e.g., `ethereum.transactions`)	Custom-filtered + transformed events
Latency	P50 ~1-2 seconds	P50 ~1-2 seconds
You handle	Filtering, transformation, routing	Just the business logic
Setup time	Hours	30 seconds
