Empower your Cardano projects with our elastic API services

What is Koios REST API?

Koios is a distributed & open-source public API query layer for Cardano, that is elastic in nature and addresses ever-demanding requirements from Cardano Blockchain. It provides a easy to query RESTful layer that has a lot of flexibility to cater for different data consumption requirements from blockchain.

Minimum requirements
We want to provide the developer with a data layer that they can rely on without having to constantly reinvent the wheel.
Data standards
Some queries are very complex and therefore prone to errors. We want to make them available in a standardized way – also via future hardforks.
Failover support
You can rely on Koios! That’s why all access points, front-end and back-end nodes are designed with multiple redundancy. There is no central instance.
Instant operations
If you have a good idea and want to implement it with Cardano, you should concentrate fully on it and get started straight away. Koios helps you to do this.
Koios allows you to directly access data from the Cardano blockchain.Check out our networks Dashboard
