Today we’re excited to announce our indexing support for the BNB Smart Chain (commonly known as BSC), hot on the heels of our recent Ethereum and Polygon integration announcements.

We’re particularly excited for BNB Smart Chain (formerly known as the Binance Chain) due to the huge amount of dApp development that is occurring there. BSC is a blockchain platform developed by the popular cryptocurrency exchange Binance. It was launched in 2019 with the goal of providing a fast, low-cost alternative to the Ethereum network for decentralised applications (dApps) and smart contracts. BSC uses the Binance Coin (BNB) as its native cryptocurrency and has gained popularity among developers and users due to its fast transaction speeds and low fees.

SubQuery’s flexible, fast, open, and decentralised data indexing solution provides blockchain developers with the tools needed to easily organise and query on-chain data for their protocol and applications. Abstracting the backend, SubQuery provides a custom API and lets developers focus on product development and user experience rather than building their own indexing solutions.

We're always striving to provide developers with the most comprehensive and efficient indexing solutions possible. Despite being a beta release, SubQuery has already proven to be faster than The Graph on Ethereum and its layer-2s, offering BNB Smart Chain developers another decentralised alternative with the impending launch of the SubQuery Network. That's why we're thrilled to announce our latest integration with one of the most exciting Layer-2 scaling solutions in the Web3 space.

“Our team at SubQuery has joined forces with the vibrant Web3 community of BNB Chain. As developers ourselves, we're thrilled to collaborate with a team that shares our passion for creating solutions that enhance user experience and drive adoption. With our powerful data indexer now integrated with BNB Smart Chain, we're confident that this partnership will pave the way for a range of new and innovative decentralized applications. We can't wait to see the magic that developers will create with our lightning-fast indexer." - Sam Zou, Founder and CEO of SubQuery

BNB Smart Chain developers will benefit from the superior SubQuery indexing experience, including the open-source SDK, tools, documentation, and developer support that the SubQuery ecosystem provides. BNB Chain is also supported in SubQuery’s enterprise level managed service, which provides enterprise level infrastructure hosting and handles hundreds of millions of requests each day.

Since our founding in 2021, SubQuery has established itself as the leading data indexing solution for non-EVM chains and has achieved rapid growth by serving hundreds of millions of queries each day to leading projects within Cosmos, Polkadot, Algorand, NEAR, Avalanche, and Moonbeam. The success in Polkadot spurred SubQuery to integrate with other Layer-1 blockchains to become a truly universal solution, which will extend to other EVM chains and Layer-2 scaling solutions, like Arbitrum in the future.

SubQuery is currently focused on decentralising and tokenizing the protocol to build the SubQuery Network. The SubQuery Network will index and service data from projects to the global community in an incentivized and verifiable way and support indexing BSC projects, and those from any other supported Layer-1 from the outset.

The BNB Smart Chain integration is live and ready to be used in production by projects across the network. We’re working closely with a few select customers to test and optimise this integration - if you would like to join SubQuery as a BNB Smart Chain launch partner or receive help migrating from The Graph, please reach out to sean.au@subquery.network.

About SubQuery

SubQuery is a blockchain developer toolkit facilitating the construction of Web3 applications of the future. A SubQuery project is a complete API to organise and query data from Layer-1 chains. Currently servicing Ethereum, Polygon, BNB, NEAR, Polkadot, Avalanche, Algorand, Cosmos and Flare projects, this data-as-a-service allows developers to focus on their core use case and front-end without wasting time building a custom backend for data processing activities. In the future, the SubQuery Network intends to replicate this scalable and reliable solution in a completely decentralised manner.
