# Covalent ## Introduction [Covalent](https://www.covalenthq.com/?utm_source=fantom\&utm_medium=partner-docs) is a hosted blockchain data solution providing access to historical and current on-chain data for 100+ supported blockchains, including [Opera](https://goldrush.dev/docs/networks/fantom/). Covalent maintains a full archival copy of every supported blockchain, meaning every balance, transaction, log event, and NFT asset data is available from the genesis block. This data is available via: 1. [Unified API](#unified-api) — Incorporate blockchain data into your dApp with a familiar REST API 2. [Increment](#increment) — Create and embed custom charts with no-code analytics Use Covalent if you need: * Structured and enhanced on-chain data well beyond what you get from RPC providers * Broad and deep multi-chain data at scale * Enterprise-grade performance {% hint style="info" %} [Sign up to start building on Opera.](https://www.covalenthq.com/platform/) {% endhint %} ## Unified API [![example-api-response-json](https://www.datocms-assets.com/86369/1686097794-example-api-response-json-ftm.png)](https://www.covalenthq.com/docs/api/balances/get-token-balances-for-address/?utm_source=fantom\&utm_medium=partner-docs) The Covalent API is RESTful and offers the following for Opera: | Features | Type | | ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Response Formats | JSON, CSV | | Real-Time Data Latency | 2 blocks | | Batch Data Latency | 30 minutes | | Supported Network: `chainName`, `chainId` |
