Native Substrate indexing for cross-chain DeFi analytics
How Hydration Built a Cross-Chain DeFi Hub with SQD

The Problem

Hydration is a Substrate-based DeFi protocol offering an omnipool design for cross-chain liquidity. They needed reliable indexing of Substrate-specific data — including pallet events, extrinsics, and cross-chain messages — to power their trading interfaces and analytics dashboards.

Why Hydration Chose SQD

As a Substrate-native chain, Hydration needed an indexer with first-class Substrate support. SQD’s native Substrate processors and custom schema capabilities made it the natural choice for their specialized DeFi data requirements.

Results

  • Native Substrate data indexing without workarounds
  • Real-time liquidity and trading analytics
  • Custom schemas for omnipool-specific data structures
