Introducing Ponder - an open-source backend framework for crypto apps focused on developer experience and performance.

npm create ponder

With Ponder, you can rapidly build an API that serves custom data from smart contracts on any EVM blockchain.

Most crypto apps need a traditional web backend. Existing tools at this layer of the stack fall short on developer experience, flexibility, and performance.

We built Ponder to solve these problems.

Ponder is built for application developers.

Your code runs in a JavaScript runtime (Node.js) where you can import NPM packages and make network requests.

It’s easy to do things that are painful in environments like WebAssembly sandboxes, SQL engines, and EVM runtimes.

Ponder’s dev server keeps you productive and unblocked while you build your app.

- Hot reload on file changes
- Strong types & autocomplete with no build step
- Descriptive error logs

Slow feedback loops suck. We designed Ponder with performance in mind from the very beginning. 

These benchmarks are encouraging, and there are still huge opportunities for improvement.
