Almost every blockchain has a need to process and query data, however everyone knows that a core weakness of blockchain data is that the processing and query performance is extremely inefficient. SubQuery is an open source platform that solves that and provides a more performant and feature-rich alternative to The Graph.
SubQuery’s mission is to make decentralised data more accessible. SubQuery is your own custom open-source API between blockchain data and your dApps and tools. Our indexer works on Ethereum, Polygon, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, Cosmos, Avalanche, Substrate/Polkadot, Near, Flare and Algorand chains, and then provides that data for developers to use for a wide array of projects (wallets, explorers, custom chains, or any other decentralised app).
We have three products:
In our view, the Stellar ecosystem, with the launch of Soroban, is poised for an extreme growth period and it requires tools such as SubQuery in order to thrive.
SubQuery is an established project launched early 2021. We’ve been building and scaling our tool to hundreds of customers across 11 different layer 1s (Ethereum, Polygon, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, Cosmos, Avalanche, Substrate/Polkadot, Near, Flare and Algorand) for some time now. We have a proven product with large customers across most verticals (wallets, deFi, NFTs, gameFi, explorers) etc. You can see some examples of projects using SubQuery in our public explorer.
Competitive advantages?
SubQuery is a flexible, cross-chain indexing service similar to the Graph. There are endless possibilities for the variety of data sources that can be analysed and served using SubQuery.
We build SubQuery with the following key competitive advantages in mind:
Additionally, we are committed to running our managed hosted service over the long term. We have made huge investments into it and have many customers relying on it. This will provide an alternative to customers that are currently threatened by the imminent sunsetting of the Graph’s hosted service.
This milestone delivers a minimal proof of concept indexer that allows customers to index only events from Soroban. This can be used to prove out the concept and to identify any other major issues that may affect future milestones. There will be docs provided to allow Stellar developers to try this POC out in their own project.
This is the most useful on-chain data to index for most projects as you can track all successful activity and its outputs. Most dApps only use event data to index the activity from their smart contracts.
Outcomes
How can a reviewer check you completed your first deliverable?
SubQuery is the core development team behind the SubQuery Network, open source SDK, and the SubQuery Managed Service
Based in New Zealand, the inception of SubQuery occurred in February 2021 and since then the below core team of 4 has rapidly grown to more than 20 members spread across New Zealand, Singapore and Portugal. We’re a high performing team, mostly software developers, devOps engineers, and business development staff with a track record of experience in extending our tooling to different layer 1 chains.
