In a significant development for the Aurora ecosystem, SubQuery Network has announced the integration of its advanced data indexing capabilities with NEAR Aurora, a move set to revolutionize the performance of over 200 projects within the Aurora ecosystem. As data is the cornerstone upon which all transactions and operations are built, the SubQuery network aims to enhance emerging blockchain projects with data indexing capabilities to dominate in the future.
SubQuery Boosts Aurora’s EVM Developers
In a blog post, SubQuery has announced its indexing support for Aurora, a next-generation Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible execution layer that operates on the NEAR protocol. This partnership is set to provide a robust environment for EVM developers, allowing them to leverage the speed and scalability of NEAR while developing smart contracts in a familiar setting.
SubQuery, renowned for its flexible, fast, open, and decentralized data indexing solution, is revolutionizing the way blockchain developers organize and query on-chain data for their protocols and applications. By abstracting the backend, SubQuery provides a custom API, enabling developers to concentrate on product development and user experience rather than building their own indexing solutions.
Slava Karkunov, Developer Relations at Aurora, said, “Aurora is building a seamless next-generation Ethereum development experience, and we’re excited to welcome SubQuery to provide fast and efficient indexing support to teams building here. Developers in Aurora are going to benefit from SubQuery’s excellent developer experience and feature-rich indexer that supports indexing both NEAR and Aurora data together. Just like how getting started on Aurora is as easy as changing the RPC endpoint, migrating your SubQuery projects is just the same.”
Data indexing, at its core, is a method of organizing data to optimize speed and performance when querying databases. In the context of blockchain, where millions of transactions are processed and recorded across multiple nodes, efficient data indexing is not just a luxury but a necessity.
SubQuery’s Enterprise-Level Managed Services Support Developers
With the number of transactions on blockchain networks increasing exponentially, the ability to quickly retrieve specific data is crucial. Advanced data indexing significantly reduces the time taken to search for data, enabling faster transaction verification and improved overall network performance.
Developers working with Aurora stand to gain from the exceptional indexing experience offered by SubQuery, inclusive of its open-source SDK, tools, comprehensive documentation, and dedicated developer support within the SubQuery ecosystem. Furthermore, Aurora is incorporated into SubQuery’s enterprise-grade managed service, which delivers robust infrastructure hosting and manages hundreds of millions of daily requests.
Sam Zou, Founder and CEO of SubQuery, said, “We are also excited with our collaboration with Aurora, where SubQuery’s open-source SDK will allow the 200+ projects in the Aurora ecosystem to be able to index data very quickly to power the creative dApps that are being built. SubQuery’s multi-chain feature also means that data can be indexed from chains outside of the NEAR/Aurora ecosystem, providing an even richer data set for Aurora developers and their users.”
Drawing from extensive customer experience across various verticals in Ethereum, Polygon, Polkadot, Cosmos, Algorand, NEAR, and Avalanche, including wallets, networks, explorers, NFT, DeFi, scanners, and more, SubQuery has successfully developed the leading indexer for developers in the web3 space.
Currently, SubQuery is channeling its efforts towards decentralizing and tokenizing its protocol to establish the SubQuery Network. This network is designed to index and service data from projects to the global community in a verifiable and incentivized manner. It will support indexing for Aurora projects, and those from any other supported Layer-1 from the get-go.
