At Dune, our mission is to make blockchain data accessible and actionable for everyone. Today, we’re excited to announce the acquisition of smlXL, a company at the forefront of real-time blockchain data simulation and analysis. This move marks a significant step forward in our efforts to provide developers with faster, deeper, and more flexible access to on-chain data.

Why smlXL?

Founded in 2021 by Dor Levi, smlXL has developed tools that enable real-time blockchain transaction simulation. Their flagship product, sim Studio, allows developers to simulate and replay transactions in real time, offering unparalleled insights into blockchain activity. smlXL also built a proprietary Ethereum node, iEVM, which leverages a unique data format to deliver rapid, detailed blockchain data.

With smlXL’s technology, Dune will enhance its real-time data infrastructure, providing developers with even more robust tools for querying, analyzing, and leveraging blockchain data.

“smlXL has built a game-changing new way of getting flexible real-time data from the EVM. Together we will make it 10x easier for developers to build with onchain data” said Fredrik Haga, Co-founder & CEO of Dune.

"We're thrilled to join Dune. Our shared mission of making blockchain data more accessible creates a perfect match. Together, we're building the definitive destination for all blockchain data needs." — Dor Levi, CEO & Founder at smlXL

What This Means for Developers

With smlXL’s integration, Dune will be able to offer:

• Real-Time API Enhancements: Faster access to blockchain data, enabling developers to build and improve applications more efficiently.
• Multichain Support: Seamless access to data across multiple blockchains, expanding the scope and utility of Dune’s platform.
• Scalable Solutions: New tools to handle large-scale data needs, whether for querying, simulation, or analytics.

This acquisition accelerates Dune’s ability to support developers in building data-driven applications that push the boundaries of what’s possible in the blockchain space.

We’re thrilled to welcome smlXL to the Dune family and look forward to building the future of blockchain data together.
