Why should I use Codex over Serialized?

Serialized is an onchain data API for trading apps, terminals and wallets, built on indexers it runs itself. It has real strengths, including trader labels, wallet PnL and a token security product. If your application needs speed, breadth and data beyond swaps, Codex pulls ahead. On OpenChainBench's live head-lag benchmark, Codex's median on Base was 29 ms against Serialized's 88 ms (November 2026). Codex covers 80+ chains to Serialized's 20, adds Polymarket and Kalshi prediction market data, and fires webhooks on any onchain event, not just price crossings.

Is it easy to migrate from Serialized to Codex?

Yes. Codex offers a GraphQL API with a TypeScript SDK and comprehensive documentation, so each REST call maps to a query that asks for exactly the fields you use. Teams moving over usually consolidate too: prediction markets, more chains and the full set of webhooks come from the same API.

Onchain to API in 22 ms

The fastest of the 5 feeds OpenChainBench ranks: Codex delivers a swap 22 ms after it lands onchain, at the median on Base, measured live. Serialized takes 88 ms.

80+ Chains Supported

Build multi-chain apps across 80+ networks. Serialized covers 20 (19 EVM chains and Solana) and lists Polygon, Optimism, Linea and Tron among the chains it doesn't index.

Prediction Market Data Included

Query Polymarket and Kalshi events, markets, trades and traders through the same API. Serialized doesn't offer prediction market data.

Webhooks for Any Onchain Event

React to price, market cap, token and pair, transfer, token launch and prediction market events. Serialized's webhooks fire on price crossings only.

Measured head to headon OpenChainBench

OpenChainBench times how long each data API takes to deliver a swap after it lands onchain, live from three regions. Here is every chain where it measures both.

Head lag is the time from a swap landing onchain to the feed delivering it, as a 24-hour median (p50). Solana, BNB Chain and Robinhood Chain are scored as a race, so their figures show how far each feed landed behind the first report. Base is timed against OpenChainBench's own sequencer-node subscription, where Codex's median is 22 ms; the Base gaps above are each feed's median minus that. Source: OpenChainBench (CC BY 4.0).

TradingView, and their 50 million users, rely on Codex as the sole source of truth for all onchain data. We were using 3 to 4 data providers previously, including The Graph, and have now consolidated everything on Codex.

Codex has always been very supportive and quick with any changes or features requested. But by far the most solid difference for me is the support of the many available launchpads these days and their extensive token filter endpoints.

I can spin up a UI. I cannot spin up Codex. Don't try to price all the assets on every chain ever. Just don't. I'll see you in three years, gray and impoverished.

On the amount of data, nothing is comparable. We had CoinGecko for candles, Birdeye for something else, CoinMarketCap for this and that. With Codex, it's the whole package, and the speed is incredible. That's why we stuck with it.

Working with the Codex team has been a game-changer. Codex seamlessly provides all the data we need, when we need it. If the data we want isn't currently available, the development team makes it available for us. I wish all of our integrations went this smoothly.
