Introducing the Ethereum Wayback Machine
Covalent’s Ethereum Wayback Machine is an open-source solution addressing the challenge of long-term data availability in Ethereum’s “Rollup Era”. It empowers developers, researchers, and ecosystem participants to access enriched and cryptographically secure historical data without relying on centralized intermediaries. Ensuring that Ethereum continues to thrive and remains as a robust platform for innovation, the EWM supports diverse use cases such as AI model fine-tuning, machine learning, risk estimations, and beyond.
Covalent also recently announced that it is expanding its operator base. This initiative is designed to organize, standardize, and securely store historical data on-chain for Ethereum EVM state execution and data blobs. By progressively decentralizing its data pipelines and expanding its network to verify on-chain data, Covalent can continue to expand its structured dataset to serve a wide range of use cases across its indexed 225+ blockchains through the Unified API.

Covalent Turns on Token Buyback Program
Introduced as a significant step in transitioning off-chain revenue onto the blockchain, Covalent recently launched its token buyback program via business revenue. This represents a pivotal move towards cultivating a sustainable revenue-driven ecosystem and serves as the first step in the right direction for the upcoming advancements in query nodes later this year.
The native token of The Covalent Network, CQT, plays a dual role in staking and governance. Operators stake CQT to participate in network operations, ensuring network security and honest behavior while verifying data extracted from blockchains. CQT holds a crucial role in governance, enabling holders to vote on on-chain proposals.
Wormhole Incentivize Drop & Ecosystem Program
Covalent has revealed an exciting prospect for CQT stakers – future and retroactive ecosystem partner airdrops. As new layer-1 and layer-2 blockchains come to market to iterate and improve on token distribution methods, CQT stakers and network operators stand to directly benefit from the support Covalent provides to blockchain foundations.
With the recent Wormhole token airdrop, CQT stakers who have engaged with Womrhole’s Portal Bridge could have found themselves eligible for the distribution of W tokens. With over 225 blockchains integrated and indexed and enriching over 240 million wallets with its data, Covalent powers a multitude of these opportunities for those engaging with The Covalent Network.
Expanding Data Infrastructure with New Integrations
As the indexing and querying middleware for blockchains, Covalent has recently added seven new chains to its roster, including Taiko, Movement, Gnosis Chain, and more. This expansion underscores Covalent's dedication to democratizing blockchain data access and promoting transparency in the decentralized ecosystem.
Covalent’s Upcoming Roadshow
