What to use instead of Flipside

The product

Flipside sold a SQL workspace over indexed on-chain data. You wrote a query against decoded tables somebody else had built and kept running, saved it, charted it, and shared the result — without a per-seat data contract in front of it. That is why so much protocol reporting, grant accounting and one-off research in this sector was, underneath, a Flipside query.

It ended in two moves. On 19 May 2026 the banner on Flipside's own Flipspace product page read "We sold our blockchain data business to SonarX and going all-in on edisyl" — that is the page as archived that day. SonarX announced the purchase from its side on the same date, describing what it acquired as the customer base and the data: 700 million permissioned wallets, 7 trillion rows, 1,000-plus protocols. The platform followed a month later. The last archived capture of the Flipside homepage that still served the site, on 12 June 2026, carried "Flipspace is shutting down. The Flipspace platform will be available through June 17, 2026. Log in to export anything you need before then."

Checked on 19 September 2026, none of it resolves to a data product any more. flipsidecrypto.xyz, docs.flipsidecrypto.xyz and data.flipsidecrypto.xyz all answer 301 to Edisyl, an enterprise-AI company with nothing on-chain in it, and flipsidecrypto.com redirects into the same chain. The single link this page gives for the subject goes to that last live capture of the homepage instead of to the live domain, because a reader looking for Flipside should land on what Flipside last said, not on an unrelated company's marketing site.

What to use instead

Expect to rewrite queries rather than repoint a connection string. Nothing below reproduces Flipside's table names, its column layouts or its SQL dialect, and with the documentation host redirecting away there is not even a reference left to port from.

If what you had was the SQL editor, Dune is the same product: SQL over decoded data for 100-plus chains, dashboards on top, an API that is on every plan including the free one. The free plan is 2,500 credits a month, and credits are billed by compute — CPU and data scanned — rather than per call, which is a different cost model to the one you were used to and the thing to check before porting a heavy query.

If you were an institution buying the tables rather than the editor, Allium is the closest thing in this catalogue to the business that was sold: Snowflake-backed SQL over 85-plus indexed chains, with a first-party label set covering 400 million-plus addresses. There is no free tier and no published price, so budget a sales cycle before you budget a number.

If you were reading a Flipside dashboard rather than writing one, you do not need a query engine at all. DefiLlama covers the DeFi metric set for free, with public REST endpoints that answer without an account and a TVL definition published in full. If the queries were rebuilding chain and protocol fundamentals — fees, revenue, active addresses — Artemis already computes them with one published definition each, at daily resolution.

What you give up

The cheap path to running a query. Flipside's draw was that getting a query to run did not start with a contract. What exactly remained free at the end, this catalogue cannot tell you: the pricing page went with the site, so there is nothing left to check against. What the replacements cost is on record — Dune's free plan is 2,500 credits a month with overage at $5.00 per 100 credits, and Allium publishes no price at all.

Everything not exported before 17 June 2026. Saved queries, dashboards, result sets. The logins are gone and the data went to an enterprise buyer, so there is no self-serve route back to any of it, and no support address of the old vendor's to write to.

The schema your SQL was written against. Every query is a rewrite, not a search-and-replace, and the reference that would make the rewrite mechanical is behind the same redirect as everything else (checked 19 September 2026).

Migration notes

Delete the old hosts from your code, not just your bookmarks. A base URL pointing anywhere under the Flipside domains now resolves, returns 301 and lands on an unrelated company's site. A health check that only asks whether a host answers will report this as fine.

Treat the API as gone even though its root answers. api.flipsidecrypto.com returns a 403 from Cloudflare at the root as of 19 September 2026. That is not evidence of life — the root behaved that way before too — and it is not evidence of death either. The decisive part is that the documentation is gone, so there is no endpoint list, no schema and no key issuance left. This catalogue holds no key and could not test one; the honest reading is that nothing is there.

Re-price the heavy queries, not just the platform. Dune bills by compute rather than by call, and publishes no per-query formula — the cost appears after execution. A query that ran nightly over a full table because compute was somebody else's problem is the one that will surprise you. Both figures come from our Dune card, verified 19 September 2026.

Check the chain list before you port anything. Dune indexes 100-plus chains and Allium 85-plus, but coverage is not a permanent property of a vendor: Artemis switched off 122 chains and protocols in May 2026 and stopped supporting them on 26 June 2026. Confirm the specific chains your queries touch are on the plan you are buying, not merely on the marketing page.
