  • The suite of smart tools offered by PARSIQ includes notifications for token transfers, price fluctuations and other blockchain-related movements. According to PARSIQ’s documents, users are able to customize their notification settings to block out undesired noise, while receiving important information in real time. 

    Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko said he believes access to blockchain data through applications like PARSIQ will help Solana-based projects have “fewer headaches in building out their stack, allowing them to concentrate on their product.” 

    The platform’s tools are compatible with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and other blockchains.
