About Edge & Node: our products, the data, security, and how we work.
About Edge & Node
Edge & Node builds and operates verifiable blockchain data infrastructure, and advises the institutions adopting it. We're a core developer of The Graph, the open indexing standard used across the industry.
Yes. We created Graph Node, the open-source engine that powers The Graph, and we remain a core developer. Our products build on that foundation, hardened for institutional use.
Three things under one roof: Amp for verifiable blockchain data, ampersend for AI-agent payments, and Consulting for regulated institutions, plus The House, our co-creation space in San Francisco.
Need trustworthy onchain data? Start with Amp. Deploying AI agents that transact? Look at ampersend. Not sure where to begin? Consulting maps the path.
A co-creation space in San Francisco's Presidio where AI and crypto builders work, meet, and ship. You'll find it at thehousesf.ai.
Amp
Amp turns raw onchain activity into structured, verifiable datasets and APIs: multiple chains through one SQL API, with cryptographic provenance from source to query.
Yes. Every Amp dataset traces to its onchain source with cryptographic provenance, so results are independently reproducible, without calling us.
Median real-time freshness is 747 ms from the moment activity happens onchain, and Amp backfills complete history from genesis, so you can rebuild any report for any date range.
Both, through the same API. Historical backfills and streaming updates share one source of truth, so reporting and monitoring never drift apart.
Multiple chains through one SQL API, with connectors for Snowflake, ClickHouse, Postgres, Databricks, Power BI, and Tableau, plus streaming via Kafka and Redis. No custom indexing to maintain.
Amp reconciles reorgs automatically and versions every record, so historical results stay consistent and any correction is fully traceable.
ampersend
ampersend is the control layer for the agent economy: budgets, approvals, and audit trails for every payment your AI agents make, built on x402, the open standard for HTTP-native payments.
You set budgets, allowlists, and approval rules per agent or workflow. ampersend enforces them at the payment layer and records every transaction, so an agent can never spend beyond its mandate.
x402 is the open standard for HTTP-native payments: it lets software pay per request, with no API keys or accounts. ampersend adds the controls and audit trail on top so agents can transact safely.
ampersend works with A2A, ADK, LangChain, and MCP, so you can add payments to agents you've already built, with no rewrites.
Yes. ampersend handles both buy side and sell side, so your agents can pay for services and get paid for them, each with a full audit trail.
Security & compliance
Amp is SOC 2 Type I certified and aligned with NIST and ISO 27001. See our Trust Center for current status, or download our security white paper. Encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control (RBAC), and audit logging are standard.
Only your team. Access is role-scoped with SSO and full audit logging, so every query and export is attributable, and Edge & Node has no standing access to your data.
Amp is built compliance-first, with audit-grade lineage and SAR-filing support aligned to NIST, the GENIUS Act, and AML/CFT requirements.
Deployment & data sovereignty
Only if you want it to. Amp deploys on-prem or in your private cloud with full data sovereignty, so no vendor can revoke access or change pricing.
Yes. Amp runs entirely inside your environment (private cloud or air-gapped on-prem), with no runtime dependency on Edge & Node to keep operating.
Yes. Amp exposes a standard SQL API, so it plugs into the warehouse, notebooks, and BI tools your team already runs, with no migration or retraining.
Your data and pipelines stay in your environment. There's no lock-in: you keep the datasets and can keep querying them independently.
Working with us
We help regulated institutions design their blockchain-data and compliance architecture. Most Consulting engagements begin with a fixed-scope Compliance Architecture Assessment.
Pricing scales with your deployment and data volume. Most engagements start with a fixed-scope Compliance Architecture Assessment: book a demo and we'll map it to your use case.
A four-week, fixed-scope review of your regulatory obligations and current data infrastructure, ending with a clear roadmap to audit-ready blockchain data.
Most teams are live in weeks, not quarters. A typical assessment runs four weeks, with deployment following shortly after.
Enterprise onboarding, priority support, and SLAs for production deployments: your team gets named contacts, not a ticket queue.
Book a demo. We'll walk through your use case, scope an assessment if it fits, and map a clear path to production.
