Case Study: ChainSafe using SQD to power fast EVM deployments

Fact Sheet

Company Overview: ChainSafe is an R&D and web3 infrastructure company focused on protocol engineering, interoperability, and web3 gaming. They provide open-source solutions for game development, including a Unity SDK, In-Game Marketplace Tool Kit, and Decentralized Loot Boxes.

Supported Chains: Ethereum, Polygon, Binance, Avalanche, Base (and associated testnets)

Critical Feature: Multichain indexing

SQD Applications: Indexing marketplace contracts, tracking NFT swaps, and importing NFTs from external ecosystems

Multichain Development Support

ChainSafe emphasizes making their tools chain-agnostic and engine-agnostic. However, finding indexing partners covering all their target blockchains proved challenging. The team considered building their own solution before discovering SQD.

Why SQD

ChainSafe valued SQD for being the most comprehensive and flexible option available. Key advantages included:

  • Easy integration and high configurability
  • Speed and performance
  • Ability to collect data across multiple chains with a single indexer
  • Support for custom libraries within the codebase

“SQD allows us to use custom libs in the codebase, which gives us a high level of flexibility”

Implementation

The team found implementation straightforward, crediting the boilerplate for providing a quick starting point. They currently index NFT transfers, marketplace contracts, and NFT swap data across five major EVM networks and their test environments.

Partnership Experience

“The SQD team has been a pleasure to work with…well supported throughout our initial integration”

ChainSafe praised SQD’s willingness to add blockchain support as their offerings expanded.
