Blockchain Data Engineering Guide

Description

Welcome to the Leanpub Launch video for Blockchain Data Engineering Guide: The hands-on guide for data and analytics engineers working with onchain data https://leanpub.com/blockchain-data-engineering-guide by Vincent Charles! 0:00 Vincent introduces himself, Unchain Data, and his background at Binance and Morpho 0:45 Why the book is on Leanpub: monthly updates to keep pace with fast-moving blockchain tooling 0:58 What blockchain data engineering is and how it differs from general data science 1:34 The blockchain as a public database and why it requires specialized engineering to query 1:50 Storing, indexing, and decoding blockchain transactions for human analysis 2:05 Blockchain data engineering beyond crypto: professional use cases across the industry 2:19 Who employs blockchain data engineers: centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Binance 2:30 DeFi protocols as a key data domain: lending, borrowing, swapping, and fiat-to-crypto conversion 3:06 How to contact Vincent and find him on UnchainData.xyz and LinkedIn 3:20 Why Leanpub is the ideal platform for a guide on rapidly evolving blockchain tooling About the Book I wrote this guide for data engineers and analytics engineers who want to work on crypto and blockchain data, and for analysts who want to get more technical. It starts with how raw chain data is shaped on EVM chains, Solana, Sui and Bitcoin, then goes through the work underneath every number: researching a protocol before you build, reading raw data from RPC and public datasets, indexing EVM chains and Solana, streaming with correct reorg handling, storage in OLAP engines, warehouses and lakehouses, modeling and testing with dbt or SQLMesh, and orchestration and cost. It ends with analytics craft with AI agents and a career chapter built on hiring data from Unchain Data's job board, which tracks 400+ live crypto data roles at 160+ companies. What you get: - 125 pages: 14 chapters and 7 appendices - 22 hands-on exercises, including 7 end-to-end projects; 19 run on free tools with no account - Read access to a private GitHub repository with the runnable code (see the last page of the book for how to get your invite) - PDF and ePub You need basic SQL, and Python helps. You do not need to know crypto already: Chapter 2 explains how chain data is structured. This is a technical book, not financial or investment advice. The guide is updated monthly, and each edition is named by year and month. Every new edition I publish is included at no extra cost, and on Leanpub it shows up in your library automatically. If you find something wrong or out of date, email me at vincent@unchaindata.xyz Vincent Charles About the Author I'm Vincent Charles. I run Unchain Data and work as a fractional data lead for crypto teams. Before that I led data and BI at Binance and at Morpho, where I built both functions from zero. Most of my work is on Ethereum and Solana, with more and more Sui. I built WizardCamp, the first web app to learn blockchain analytics with SQL. This guide is the next step, for analysts who want to go further and for engineers who want to stay current in crypto data. X: @0x_vcharles. Email: vincent@unchaindata.xyz.
