Short answer

How can I use my AI to ingest blockchain data?

Your AI uses QuickNode to create and manage real-time data streams and KV Store filters. It handles the heavy lifting of pipeline orchestration so you can focus on the logic. You get a direct line from on-chain events to your agent's context.

Data destinations

Where your data lands.

The AI directs blockchain events into specific destinations based on your logic.

STREAM

Live event feeds

The AI sets up continuous data flows from the blockchain. You get real-time updates as blocks are mined.

KV STORE

Filtered data sets

The AI organizes specific data points into key-value lists. This makes searching for specific addresses or transactions instant.

LOGIC

Automated filtering

The AI applies filters to your streams to ignore noise. It only pulls the specific transaction types you care about.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You decide when to kill a stream or wipe a data set. The AI handles the movement, but you hold the keys.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

Your agent acts as the orchestrator for your entire data lifecycle.

  1. Initialize streams

    The AI starts listening to specific blockchain events by setting up new data paths.

    create_stream

  2. Manage existing feeds

    Your agent checks on active connections or modifies how data is being pushed.

    list_streamsupdate_streamget_stream

  3. Organize data sets

    The AI creates structured storage for specific transaction data or address lookups.

    create_kv_listcreate_kv_set

  4. Clean up resources

    When a pipeline is no longer needed, the AI removes the streams and storage to save space.

FAQ

How the automation works

  • 01

    Can my AI delete my entire QuickNode account?

    No. The AI only has permission to manage the specific streams and KV sets you authorize through the tools.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my QuickNode billing settings?

    No. The AI cannot access your account settings, billing, or subscription details.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which transactions to grab?

    You tell the AI which events to watch, and it uses stream tools to filter for those specific blockchain logs.

  • 04

    Can I see the data the AI is pulling?

    Yes. You can ask the AI to list your streams or retrieve specific values from your KV sets.

  • 05

    Does the AI handle the actual blockchain node connection?

    No. QuickNode handles the node connection; the AI simply manages the data pipelines built on top of it.
