US-based managed blockchain infrastructure provider QuickNode has made its first acquisition with NFT analytics platform and NFT API icy.tools, the company said.

Since the start of the NFT boom in 2021, icy.tools has provided consumers and investors with NFT analytics and market reporting to facilitate more technical analysis of NFT sales.

They allow users to discover the latest trending projects being minted, transaction history and portfolio value, and alerting around the latest mints and wallets.

With their expertise in NFT analytics, icy.tools has developed a GraphQL API for developers to access NFT price data, traits/wallet data, and marketplace data from OpenSea, Genie, and Looks Rare, among others.

QuickNode will integrate the icy.tools API directly into the existing QuickNode platform, providing even more capabilities to QuickNode NFT API customers.

QuickNode enables blockchain ecosystems to scale, by providing core infrastructure, API and developer tools.

In October 2021, QuickNode raised a USD 35m series A funding led by Tiger Global with participation from Alexis Ohanian's Seven Seven Six, Soma Capital, Arrington XRP Capital, Crossbeam, and Anthony Pompliano.

Founded in 2021, Icy Tools is an NFT analytics platform that indexes and enhances blockchain data to provide in depth market insights and developer tools.
