# Chains & Endpoints

## Chains and endpoints overview

The different blockchains have separate endpoints that Substreams uses. You will use the endpoint that matches the blockchain you've selected for your development initiative.

### Supported blockchains and Protobuf models

There are different Substreams providers that you can use. StreamingFast and Pinax are the largest providers currently.

Protobuf definitions and public endpoints are provided for the supported protocols and chains.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: All of the endpoints listed in the documentation require [authentication](/how-to-guides/installing-the-cli/authentication.md) before use.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important***:* Endpoints serve protobuf models specific to the underlying blockchain protocol and must match the `source:` field for the module.

**Streaming a `sf.near.type.v1.Block` from an Ethereum endpoint does not work!**

### EVM Extended vs Base Block Model

For EVM chains, there are two different types of `Block` models: *Extended* and *Base*:

* An **Extended Block** is produced by a full node instrumentation integration, thus containing a rich data model (balance changes, internal calls, storage changes...).
* A **Base Block** is produced by a *RPC Poller* integration, which essentially means that only the data exposed by an RPC endpoint can be included in the data model.

The following table summarizes the different data contained in each type of `Block`.

<figure><img src="/files/4DnNzMsAFxAUM2Mvffpp" alt="" width="100%"><figcaption><p>Base vs. Extended Block Data Available</p></figcaption></figure>

The data missing in the Base Block makes the corresponding Protobuf field empty. For example, if you try to read *internal call* on a Base Block, the list will be empty.

## Up-to-date Reference for all substreams endpoints

* See [TheGraphNetworkRegistryApp](https://graph-networks-app.vercel.app/) for a complete list of networks and endpoints.
* See [TheGraphNetworkRegistry.json](https://networks-registry.thegraph.com/TheGraphNetworksRegistry.json) for the raw data behind this list (including information like "extended blocks" vs "base blocks").
