October 2023 Monthly Recap

Over the past month, our tireless team has been on a mission, relentlessly pushing the boundaries of Web3. We've achieved remarkable milestones, supporting over 110 networks now, adding indexing support for Stellar's Soroban and Klaytn, and establishing groundbreaking partnerships with OKP4 Protocol and BitSong. The SubQuery journey is gathering momentum

In October, we embarked on an exciting journey with the launch of our Zealy and Galxe Campaigns, accompanied by our very first USDC Giveaway on Zealy. Brace yourselves for a slew of upcoming campaigns on these platforms, with enticing rewards for our faithful community members and newcomers! 🚀

As tradition dictates, our monthly update will be served in three delectable sections: Community, Core Product Development, and the SubQuery Network

New partnerships: OKP4 Protocol, BitSong, and Folks Finance

As SubQuery continues to expand its data indexing support within the web3 ecosystem, we were delighted to announce our latest partnerships with OKP4 Protocol, BitSong and Folks Finance.

OKP4 Protocol, BitSong and Folks Finance are using SubQuery Projects to manage their project and make updates as required. Many other leading teams take advantage of SubQuery’s enterprise-level hosting to receive dedicated databases, automated deployments, and geographic routing to multiple clusters around the world for performance and uptime.

"SubQuery and the OKP4 ecosystem unite to forge a potent alliance. Leveraging rapid, trustworthy, and decentralized graphQL APIs, this integration enables developers to build next-generation applications for users and exploit the vast quantity of digital resources in the OKP4 protocol."

— Christophe Camel, CTO, OKP4

Core Product Development

A new in-memory cache for developers

The in-memory cache is an injected class granting access to a temporary store of data that can be accessed and shared between mapping handlers. This feature is helpful for commonly accessed data in scenarios where data persistence is not necessary, but the data is required to be accessed inside projects across subsequent calls of handlers.

The First Indexer to Support Stellar’s Soroban Smart Contract Network

This October, we were the first indexer to provide support for Stellar’s new Soroban smart contract network. Soroban is the new developer-friendly, Rust-based smart contract platform built on Stellar that will allow smart contracts to access Stellar’s wide variety of on-chain assets and worldwide on and off-ramps.

Developers on Stellar can now benefit from a superior SubQuery indexing experience, including access to the open-source SDK, tools, documentation, and developer support that the SubQuery ecosystem provides. They are also supported in SubQuery’s enterprise level managed service, which provides enterprise level infrastructure hosting and handles millions of requests each day.

James was even in-person at Stellar’s Meridian conference to demonstrate SubQuery’s Stellar support directly to indexers in a packed room late in September.

We’ve also extended our indexing support for Boba Network, Astar’s zKatana, Agoric, zkSync Era and Klaytn.

SubQuery Hits 110+ Network Integrations

We are over the moon to have hit the milestone of over 110 supported networks for SubQuery. By abstracting backend intricacies, we empower developers to focus on what matters most: product development and user experience.

To celebrate this milestone, SubQuery is offering a special 3 months of free Managed Service deal to the next 5 users/teams who register and deploy a project to the SubQuery Managed Service. Read more about this promotion here.

SubQuery’s Multi-chain Indexing Gets Managed Service Support!

Today we’ve raised the bar for SubQuery’s Managed Service by offering robust support for multi-chain indexing through a new updated user experience. Customers of SubQuery’s Managed Service can now benefit from extended multi-chain indexing support, allowing them to manage each indexer for each chain independently in the UI.

For example, you can use Multi-chain indexing to index data from both sides of a cross-chain bridge. You could capture XCM transaction data from all Polkadot parachains or monitor IBC messages across Cosmos Zones in a single project, with a single database, and a single query endpoint. We even provide example guides for how you can use multi-chain indexing to index Snapshot voting records, multi-sig wallet setup through SAFE, and even Galxe voting NFT rewards. To learn more about multi-chain indexing, read the documentation here.

Other Updates and Releases with the SubQuery Network

New endBlock filter. This allows you to better handle runtime or smart contract upgrades, or to insert data into your database at project initiation.
Improvements to the speed of the reindex query

SubQuery Network

Nodle Launches on Kepler and Decentralises their dApps

Nodle completed the decentralisation of their production dApps by switching projects to the SubQuery Kepler Network. This strategic move represents the maturity of SubQuery's decentralised network as one of a few production-ready decentralised data networks in the market today.

> “Moving to SubQuery’s decentralised network was a pretty straightforward process, we’re already seeing substantial improvements to the indexing backend when running on Kepler.” - Eliott Teissonniere, CTO and CoFounderat Nodle

Already Nodle is observing massive performance improvements from the decentralised networks, with Kepler taking less than 20% of the time to index and serve data to their applications. Users based in different regions also observe faster response times, thanks to SubQuery’s globally distributed network of indexers.

Interested in migrating and publishing your projects to SubQuery’s decentralised network? Find out how.

Public Access to Kepler Network

In recent months, we've embarked on an exciting journey of testing, scaling, and introducing powerful features to elevate SubQuery's Kepler Network and these dedicated efforts have fortified Kepler's capabilities. Check out the latest stats on Kepler here.

Kepler is now ready to embark on its next phase. While previously accessible exclusively to invited indexers and specially designated ambassadors serving as Delegators, we're now expanding access to everyone. If you've done KYC during any SubQuery event before, you can now get kSQT on the Kepler Swap.

Other Updates and Releases with the SubQuery Network

New version of the explorer project list page.
Added plan status on Indexer plan list.
Updated indexer information on My Delegations.
Improvements to state channel syncing logic
