How Blum Scales with Custom Data Streaming
Our Substreams layer powers Blum’s platform with real-time data streaming, fast historical processing, and scalable performance.
Data streams directly from modified nodes, gets transformed, and is pushed straight into databases. The system supports parallel processing, smart caching, and handles chain reorgs.
