Beyond Dune: Accelerating with EVM Query Language
EQL is a language that allows you to query the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) using a SQL-like syntax. It is designed to be the simplest way to ask blockchain questions and get answers.
EQL, by contrast, offers a specialized SQL-like syntax tailored specifically to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), streamlining access to crucial blockchain data such as accounts, transactions, and balances. Dune excels in user-friendly visualization and cross-chain functionality, while EQL stands out for its flexible query syntax and free access to multiple export formats, appealing to users with a more technical or development-oriented focus. EQL outperforms Dune in transaction lookups by hash, account state retrievals, and event log fetches, offering faster and more consistent performance across these query types.
