PITTSBURGH, April 17, 2023 (Newswire.com) –
BlockSpan, an emerging Web3 innovator founded by leading enterprise data platform architects, is excited to announce the launch of its NFT API platform that provides software companies and developers building blockchain applications instant access to real-time and historical NFT and token metadata including cached images.

“Our mission and focus is to make blockchain app development as simple and straightforward as possible, while unlocking highly accurate NFT and token metadata to enable software companies to create and deliver powerful apps in days, not months or even years,” Jon Pastor said. Co-founder of BlockSpan. “BlockSpan enables app developers to harness the full potential of blockchain technology without sacrificing productivity or having to wade through overly complex codebases.”

More specifically, the BlockSpan NFT API platform removes the data middleman, resulting in higher quality data sourced directly from leading blockchains, NFT pools and tokens. It also makes scaling to millions of users safe, cost-effective and seamless. This is done using more than 400 million ERC721 and ERC1155 tokens, 500 thousand token contracts and 1 billion token transfer transactions.
