Overview
Subsquid has unveiled a new feature called Subsquid Cloud Multichain Indexing. This capability enables developers to index and serve data from smart contracts on any number of chains through a unified GraphQL API.
The Multichain Challenge
Web3’s future hinges on embracing multichain architectures, which offer scalability, interoperability, and innovation. However, managing data spread across different blockchains has traditionally been difficult, requiring developers to maintain separate indexing pipelines for each chain.
How It Works
The Subsquid Cloud’s multichain indexing allows developers to configure independent processors that operate against a shared schema. This approach facilitates rapid data retrieval, enabling the creation of decentralized applications that work seamlessly across multiple blockchains.
Each processor handles data from a specific chain while contributing to a unified data store, eliminating the need for complex cross-chain data aggregation logic in the application layer.
Getting Started
Developers can explore multichain indexing through several resources:
- An example repository demonstrating the functionality
- Detailed documentation on multichain features
- A quickstart guide for new developers
- The Subsquid Cloud managed service at app.subsquid.io
