What to use instead of Parsec

The product

Parsec was an onchain research terminal. You assembled a page out of components — a lending market's health, a token's holders, an NFT collection's floor, an address's positions — and it kept them updating. The navigation on its last public pages carried a Hyperliquid explorer, Aave/GHO, Polymarket, NFT and ordinals sections, a research feed, a podcast, and an "explorer as a service" line for teams who wanted the same views under their own brand.

It was sold as a subscription throughout. On the pricing page as archived on 17 April 2025 the plans were NFT at $60 a month, Pro at $125, and Team at $500 with API access, CSV downloads and extra seats. By the capture of 7 January 2026 the product had been rebuilt around an agent: Pro at $40 a month, Max at $200 with what the page called full terminal access, and a pay-as-you-go API plan. The site was still serving that agent in the capture of 2 February 2026.

On 19 February 2026 it stopped. The team published the same sentences on the site and on X: after five years parsec is now offline, and active subscriptions are being refunded and cancelled. The Archive's capture of 20 February 2026 at 00:05 UTC carries that notice; The Block reported the wind-down on 19 February. No reason was given. Several outlets supplied one that week — a story about DeFi leverage after FTX — and none of it came from the team, so it is not repeated here.

What to use instead

Expect two or three tools rather than one, and expect to rebuild rather than import.

If what you used was the dashboards you built yourself, Dune is the closest thing in the catalogue: SQL over raw and decoded tables from 100+ chains, saved charts and dashboards, and an API that is present on every plan including the free one. You are writing the query Parsec's component had already written for you, which is the real cost of the move.

If what you used were the ready-made DeFi panels — a lending market's size and health, a protocol's fees, a stablecoin's supply — DefiLlama covers that ground for nothing, and publishes the definition behind its TVL number, which matters the first time your new figure disagrees with your old one.

If what you pulled out of Parsec was numbers for a model, Artemis is the fundamentals set with one definition across chains and protocols, reachable from a REST API and a spreadsheet add-in rather than from a screen.

If what you watched were addresses, Arkham is the one that already knows who a wallet belongs to, with alerts on top and the explorer free to browse. It replaces the token and address lists, not the charts.

If what you opened every morning was the Hyperliquid explorer or a long/short page, Velo is the derivatives half: open interest, funding, basis and liquidations across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Deribit and Hyperliquid, in a web terminal with a free account and a CSV API above it.

What you give up

One page. Parsec's whole proposition was a lending position, a perp, an NFT floor and a holder list side by side, updating. Nothing here does all four, so the replacement is three tabs and up to three bills, and the correlation you used to see by glancing between panels is now something you have to look for.

Refresh rate. Parsec sold streaming data as a plan feature. Of the five above, Arkham and Velo are real-time; Dune's latency is delayed and Artemis is end-of-day. If what you had was a liquidation watch, the honest replacement is Velo or an alert on Arkham, not a Dune dashboard you reload.

Somebody else's query. The components were pre-written analysis, and that is the part that does not transfer. Dune gives you the same data and none of the decisions — which contracts count as the protocol, which transfers are internal, which addresses are the same entity. Expect the first rebuilt dashboard to take a day and to disagree with your memory of the old number.

Migration notes

There is nothing to export. The app went offline the day it was announced, so whatever was not already a CSV download from the Team plan is gone. Layouts, saved lists and alert configurations included.

Numbers will not tie out, and that is usually correct. Two vendors' TVL for the same protocol differ because they count different contracts, not because one is wrong. DefiLlama writes its definition down, which makes it the cheap baseline to reconcile against; do the reconciliation once, at the start, rather than the first time somebody questions a chart.

The API was a paid plan at both ends. If your code called Parsec, the closest shape is Dune's credit-metered API, which is the only one here that is on a free plan; Artemis and Velo both put their API above the entry tier, and Arkham quotes its intelligence API separately.

Refunds are the team's stated intent, not a settled fact. The notice says the process is under way and names the project's Discord for questions. Keep the notice, keep the charge, and treat your card issuer as the fallback rather than the first stop.
