How Fantasy.Top relies on SQD to provide a seamless social gaming experience

Fantasy.Top is a social betting game where players purchase influencer card packs and wager on their performance on Crypto Twitter during weekly tournaments.

Game Mechanics

Fantasy.Top combines Web2 infrastructure with blockchain elements. Players buy NFT card packs of influencers and bet on their social media performance. The platform needed to blend centralized game management with cryptocurrency payments and NFT-based cards.

Why SQD Was Chosen

The development team previously relied on The Graph for indexing but encountered limitations. They required greater flexibility for integrating both on-chain and off-chain data. As the founders noted, they wanted autonomy — “we wanted to write our own DB, and this was only possible with SQD.”

Core Implementation

SQD handles all on-chain indexing for the Blast blockchain. When players open card packs, the system fetches external data, generates random influencer selections, and writes results to their database — all within seconds. SQD also monitors payment transactions and ensures fair card distribution by tracking influencer supply levels.

Development Experience

The team praised SQD’s reliability and support, stating that the indexer has performed smoothly and the team remained super responsive and helpful during development.
