Beyond Dune: Accelerating with EVM Query Language (eql.sh)
iankguimaraes 59 minutes ago [-]
EVM Query Language (EQL) offers a fast, streamlined alternative to Dune for querying blockchain data, specifically optimized for EVM chains. While Dune excels at large-scale data visualization across multiple blockchains, EQL shines in speed and simplicity for Ethereum-specific tasks like transaction lookups and account state queries.

EQL’s SQL-like syntax is intuitive for developers, offering faster results for focused datasets, while Dune is more suited for handling complex, multi-blockchain queries and robust visualizations. Benchmark tests demonstrate EQL’s superior speed in tasks such as fetching account states and transactions, though Dune outperforms in block range queries.

Ultimately, EQL is a lightweight, open-source option for developers who need quick, efficient blockchain queries, while Dune is better for larger, more complex data processing with advanced visualization capabilities.
