Live Data on Canton
Modo Real-Time API continuously streams live Canton network data over gRPC, delivering on-chain events (transactions, updates, etc.) as they happen. Real-Time API is especially helpful for building interfaces and backend systems that need a live view of data, where timing is critical:- Live network dashboards;
- Monitoring and alerting systems;
- Automated backend workflows;
- Portfolio and activity trackers;
- Analytics pipelines powered by always-fresh data;
- and more…
Why It Stands Out
- True real-time delivery – receive transactions, updates, and network events the moment they happen;
- Millisecond-speed access – power latency-sensitive apps with ultra-fast data delivery;
- Streaming, not polling – skip repeated requests and outdated refresh cycles;
- Easy to use – plug in gRPC, authenticate, and start building straight away;
- No infrastructure needed – get the speed and reliability you need without becoming a validator or supervalidator on Canton.
Plug it in! Get a live on-chain data feed! Build great apps on Canton!
Methods
Developers can follow ledger progress, balances, active contracts, updates, rates, and preapproval data through dedicated streaming methods.| Method | What it provides | Common use case |
|---|---|---|
| GetLedgerEnd | Current ledger position. | Check the latest available point in the stream before reading live data. |
| GetDsoRates | Live DSO rate data. | Keep rate-sensitive tools, pricing logic, and monitoring views updated. |
| GetBalances | Current balance information. | Power wallets, portfolios, accounting flows, and balance dashboards. |
| GetAmulets | Amulet-related live data. | Track Amulet state and activity connected to balances or product logic. |
| GetActiveContracts | Active contract state. | Keep applications aligned with currently valid on-chain agreements. |
| GetUpdates | Ledger updates and activity changes. | Build live feeds, alerts, monitoring systems, and activity views. |
| GetPreapprovals | Preapproval-related data. | Monitor authorization states and supported permissioned workflows. |
