Overview

Key benefits

Filtered at the source

Receive only the events you need, often 90% fewer than the full stream.

Build pipelines visually or through the API. No consumers, stream processors, or filtering services to run.

SOC 1 and SOC 2 certified. Built on the same platform that serves Phantom, Uniswap, Circle, and MetaMask.

Use cases

Use case	Challenge	With Beam
Wallet notifications	Alert users to incoming stablecoins, token transfers, or NFT mints without processing the full chain.	Filter by a set of wallet addresses and trigger notifications from decoded transfer events.
Transaction monitoring	Track specific contracts or protocols when full-chain volume is unmanageable.	Filter by contract address and stream decoded events to your monitoring system.
Compliance alerting	Flag large transactions or activity from sanctioned addresses.	Filter by amount or address list and feed the results into your compliance workflow.
Realtime dashboards	Power live metrics without building data infrastructure.	Stream filtered, decoded data into your database and query it directly.
DeFi protocol monitoring	Track liquidations, large swaps, and position changes across protocols.	Filter by protocol events and receive decoded, enriched records.

Beam vs Datastreams

	Datastreams	Beam
What it is	Full blockchain data streams delivered to your message broker	Filtered, transformed streams built with a visual editor or API
Best for	Analytics pipelines, data lakes, teams with existing streaming infrastructure	Notifications, monitoring, and alerting
Data	Full chain topics (e.g., `ethereum.transactions`)	Only the events that match your filters, in the shape you define
Latency	P50 ~1–2 seconds	P50 ~1–2 seconds
You handle	Filtering, transformation, routing	Your business logic
Setup time	Hours	Seconds
