Why Blockchain Selection Matters

• Customizability: Target a specific blockchain for your queries.

• Efficiency: Avoid irrelevant data and reduce noise.

• Future Options: As new chains (like Ethereum or BSC) roll out, KS Query will support broader use cases.

You’ve successfully selected your blockchain and network in KS Query. With the Kalp DLT Devnet now active, you're ready to start exploring on-chain data and making API requests. As KS Query continues to grow, more networks will become available — giving you even more flexibility and insight.
