The prices.usd_latest table is a simplified version of prices.usd, providing the most recent price data for tokens across various blockchains. This table is designed to enable simpler and faster queries when only the latest price information is needed.

Key Features

  • Contains only the most recent price for each token
  • Enables less complex and faster queries compared to prices.usd
  • Covers the same range of assets as prices.usd (EVM networks, Solana, and other L1 blockchains)

Usage

When you need only the current price of a token, use prices.usd_latest instead of prices.usd. This eliminates the need for subqueries or complex time-based filters, resulting in simpler and more efficient queries.

Example query:

SELECT symbol, price 
FROM prices.usd_latest
WHERE blockchain = 'ethereum'
  AND symbol = 'WETH'
