Insights, updates, and technical deep dives from the Edge & Node team.
Amp, a blockchain data platform by Edge & Node, now supports Solana, providing fintech firms, payment services, and AI teams with structured, real-time, and historical blockchain data at scale. Unveiled at Money20/20, this integration removes the need for custom ingestion pipelines, enabling users to access Solana data as easily as querying a standard database.
Almost half a million dollars gone in seconds. Here's what unfolded, and why the agentic stack's most critical component isn't the model.

Edge & Node partnered with Pinata to launch Agent Templates that let your OpenClaw agents autonomously pay for and earn from resources using x402 and the ampersend SDK. Get up and running in minutes and turn your agents into active participants in the agentic economy.

Your agents can plan, reason, and execute. But they can’t pay for anything on their own. x402 removes that bottleneck—it’s a protocol that enables pay-per-request payments at the HTTP layer, allowing agents to discover a service, pay for it, and consume it in a single transaction.

A multi-agent system mistakenly burned $47,000+ in API costs. No hacker. No breach. Just bad infrastructure controls. With ampersend, every LLM call becomes a real USDC payment with spending limits enforced at the wallet level—when the agent’s budget runs out, the agent stops spending money even if the code keeps running.

Reliable analytics starts with accurate, queryable blockchain event data. But contract events break the moment reorgs happen. Amp provides a structured pipeline for smart contract events—indexing them, reconciling reorgs, and exposing results as SQL tables without custom parsers or ingestion pipelines.

Financial institutions expanding into digital assets don't want to become blockchain infrastructure companies. They want reliable data they can query, analyze, and act on. But what seems like a straightforward data integration project often becomes a sprawling infrastructure effort that consumes engineering resources and delivers inconsistent results.

Financial institutions entering the blockchain space face a hidden risk: they're relying on data they can't actually trust. With legislation like the GENIUS Act mandating audited reserve disclosures, verifiable data extraction isn't a nice-to-have — it's a requirement.

Querying blockchain data means trusting that your data source reflects the canonical chain state. Amp's verifiable extraction uses cryptographic primitives to catch corrupted or tampered data before it enters your system.
