About Noves
Noves is a high-precision data infrastructure platform delivering financial-grade onchain data to developers, enterprises, and fintech innovators. Designed for those building at the intersection of Web3 and traditional finance, Noves simplifies blockchain integration by translating smart contract activity into clean, structured, and human-readable formats—ready for immediate use.
With its flagship Translate and Foresight APIs, Noves enables organizations to interpret, simulate, and analyze blockchain transactions across 100+ chains and over 10,000 protocols. Whether it's for accounting, tax reporting, transaction transparency, or portfolio analysis, Noves provides complete clarity around what happened—or what will happen—on-chain. Built to help teams focus on their core products instead of low-value decoding tasks, Noves is quickly becoming essential infrastructure in the evolving DeFi data stack.
Noves was founded to address a deeply technical, high-friction pain point in Web3 adoption: how to reliably access and understand what happens in smart contracts. While blockchains are inherently transparent, the raw data they provide is dense, inconsistent across chains, and inaccessible for most business and financial workflows. Noves fixes this by offering an API-first approach to transaction interpretation and simulation that works at scale, across chains, and with high fidelity.
The platform's main components are the Translate API and the Foresight API. The Translate API tells you exactly what happened in a past transaction—what tokens were moved, what actions were taken, and why they matter—delivered as standardized, labeled data objects that can easily feed into accounting tools, UIs, tax systems, and analytics dashboards. Meanwhile, the Foresight API shows what a transaction is about to do before it is signed and broadcasted, providing a new level of safety and clarity for end-users and institutions alike.
Beyond translation and simulation, Noves also offers a Pricing API capable of determining on-chain asset values—including LP tokens—using a wide set of decentralized exchanges. Additionally, the NodePlus API provides access to Noves' high-performance node infrastructure, ensuring robust data availability and network-level redundancy for every integrated chain.
Today, Noves supports over 100 chains and half a billion smart contracts, representing one of the most comprehensive DeFi datasets available. Competing services like Alchemy, QuickNode, and The Graph provide infrastructure and querying, but Noves focuses uniquely on delivering semantically rich, contextual data built specifically for financial-grade use cases.
By making blockchain data as easy to work with as traditional APIs, Noves is enabling the next generation of fintech, wallets, and DeFi platforms to deliver better user experiences, safer transactions, and real-world integration without deep on-chain expertise.
Noves offers a deep suite of data-driven features that transform complex smart contract data into actionable intelligence:
- Translate API: Understand exactly what happened in any past transaction. Receive fully labeled, human-readable transaction summaries across chains and protocols.
- Foresight API: Gain pre-signature visibility into transaction behavior. Simulate transactions and surface risks before users commit.
- Protocol-Agnostic Support: One integration covers 100+ chains and 10,000+ protocols with no need to write chain- or contract-specific code.
- Pricing API: Accurately value any fungible token or LP position based on real-time on-chain liquidity data.
- NodePlus API: Access raw and translated blockchain data from Noves’ high-performance RPC node infrastructure.
- Human-Friendly Descriptions: Transactions are explained in plain English, so users and apps can show meaningful, understandable actions rather than raw hex data.
- Data for Real Financial Use: Support for accounting, tax reporting, audit reconciliation, and risk scoring—all with machine-readable accuracy.

Noves FAQ
Noves offers the Foresight API, which allows developers and applications to preview the exact behavior of a transaction before it is signed. This includes identifying the transaction type (e.g., swap, borrow, vote), displaying plain-English descriptions, and simulating asset transfers in advance. This helps users avoid blind approvals and ensures higher security during on-chain interactions.
Yes. The Translate API from Noves classifies every transaction using a deep understanding of smart contracts and protocol mechanics. It not only labels each transaction as a specific action type (e.g., "stake," "add liquidity," "claim rewards") but also includes human-readable summaries and full asset transfer metadata. This removes ambiguity and enables reliable use in analytics, reporting, and UI rendering.
Noves outputs fully structured, labeled transaction data that maps directly to traditional financial activities. Whether you're tracking capital gains, staking income, or liquidity fees, the APIs offer granular data points designed for accounting software, audits, and end-of-year financial summaries. This helps prevent overreporting and aligns blockchain records with compliance requirements.
No additional integration work is needed. Noves is designed to be protocol-agnostic and future-proof. Once you’ve integrated with the APIs, the system automatically ingests and decodes new protocols and smart contracts across supported chains. That means you can keep your app or service up-to-date without needing to monitor or write code for every new protocol or transaction type.
Yes. Noves includes spam detection filters that help identify and exclude non-legitimate tokens and meaningless activity from your wallet history. This allows developers to deliver clean, user-friendly interfaces by removing clutter and protecting users from misleading token drops or scam contracts across all supported chains.
