StreamingFast will develop its Firehose and Substreams technologies to bring Stellar and its community the advanced data indexing capabilities of The Graph. These technologies include Substreams-powered-Subgraphs backed by a network of hundreds of indexers and Substreams which adds a powerful, blockchain-agnostic engine that is parallelized and streaming-first.
Here are the features Stellar would benefit from: ● \\Simple DevEx\\. New Codegen tools and GUI enable a quick and easy development of a Substreams and subgraph, either locally or through a remote VS Code space with all dependencies pre-installed (see this link to try it out: \[https://github.com/streamingfast/substreams-starter\\]\(https://github.com/streamingfast/substreams-starter)). ● \\High performance.\\ With the Substreams engine backing \graph-node\\, Stellar’s community will have access to Subgraphs that sync in orders of magnitude faster. ● \\Ready-to-use Subgraphs.\\ Developers will gain immediate access to Substreams-powered subgraphs as StreamingFast will launch the first Substreams-powered subgraph on The Graph network. ● \\Foundational Substreams Modules.\\ Gain access to several foundational modules developed by StreamingFast, these modules offer critical access points to raw Stellar data, enabling developers to quickly bootstrap their projects across key areas of the Stellar ecosystem. ● \\Comprehensive Documentation and Guides.\\ Detailed documentation and step-by-step guides enable developers to start fast and avoid unnecessary pitfalls.

Success for Stellar (immediate): Make Stellar data easier than ever to be indexed and expand access to the largest community of web3 developers. Success for Stellar (long-term): To enable long-term indexing and querying via multiple Indexers, indexing rewards must be activated. The Graph Foundation will assess and then guide Stellar’s proposal through the steps to activate indexing rewards on a new chain. Success for The Graph/StreamingFast: Number of bytes processed by the Substreams engine or Subgraph queries made on The Graph network.
StreamingFast and Stellar will jointly plan a co-marketing campaign amplified across The Graph’s channels. Additionally, resources will be allocated as follows: StreamingFast to send a representative to host a The Graph <> Stellar technical workshop, with such workshop being mutually agreed upon by both parties in advance, and conducted either in person or online; To monitor Stellar ecosystem channels for feedback and questions; To onboard ecosystem partners interested in leveraging The Graph’s stack.
Lifetime subgraphs/APIs: 90K+ Lifetime developers: 53K+ Lifetime queries: 1.1 trillion+ Over 7K dapps have consumed data through The Graph The Graph ecosystem serves 900M+ queries per day right now in the depths of this market activity, but has served 1.5B-2B in recent times across 44K+ APIs Tens of thousands of developers use The Graph across 40+ networks for applications such as Uniswap, Synthetix, KnownOrigin, Art Blocks, Gnosis, Balancer, Livepeer, DAOstack, Audius, Decentraland, and many others On the network, there are 450+ Indexers serving subgraph queries, 11,300+ Delegators, and 2,500+ Curators
While the traction information shared above referred to all the data compiled since the beginning of The Graph with the bulk of it happening on the Hosted Service, in 2024 the Graph migrated all Hosted Service activity towards its on-chain decentralized service. This is the publicly available information for now:
Weeks 1 to 2:
Test the archive node to identify any unique behaviors with the API.
Deliverable:
**Success Metrics:**The Firehose is successfully producing accurate Stellar full blocks.
Weeks 2 to 4:
Deliverable:
Success Metric: We usually do one or two quality assurance passes during that time.
Week 5-8: Deliverable:
Weeks 8 to 52:
Deliverable:
StreamingFast to do on-going maintenance for the Firehose replication protocol into the chain's codebase. StreamingFast tracks any changes and releases binaries when you change code and when StreamingFast changes code. This includes releasing Firehose/Substreams binaries for the protocol, maintaining Substreams modules for the block model of the chain, and releasing binaries for the blockchain node with instrumentation if need be. Measure of success: Stellar developers can successfully launch a Substreams or Substreams-powered Subgraph onto The Graph in under 10 minutes. Budget (Integration & Maintenance): US 100,000 - can be paid quarterly over the course of the 52 weeks Budget (Hosting): US 50,000 - can be paid quarterly over the course of the 52 weeks
The StreamingFast team, leading this integration into The Graph network if approved, consists of 15 members that are some of the world’s experts at processing and indexing blockchain data.
