Key benefits
Filtered at the source
Receive only the events you need. Reduce processed events by 90%+ compared to full firehose streaming.
Deploy in 30 seconds
Visual pipeline builder with no Kafka consumers, transformation pipelines, or filtering logic to build.
Production-grade
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 |
