It is our pleasure to announce full support for the newly released Astar zkEVM mainnet. SubQuery's indexing capabilities empower developers to efficiently manage and query on-chain data, expediting development processes and facilitating rapid iterations, ultimately advancing the goal of onboarding the next billion users to the blockchain.

Astar is a decentralised blockchain platform that aims to provide scalable and secure infrastructure for Web3 applications. It focuses on enabling developers to build and deploy dApps with high throughput and low latency.

Developers on Astar can now harness SubQuery's versatile, high-speed, open, and decentralised data indexing solution. This empowers blockchain developers with crucial tools to efficiently manage and query on-chain data for their protocols and applications.

SubQuery simplifies the intricacies of backend operations, providing developers with a tailor-made API. This enables them to focus on product development and enhancing user experiences, without the need to allocate resources towards constructing their indexing solutions.

We’re always striving to provide developers with the most comprehensive and efficient indexing experience possible, including the open-source SDK, tools, documentation, and developer support that the SubQuery ecosystem provides. Astar 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. 

Furthermore, with the upcoming launch of the SubQuery Network, we are poised to provide Astar developers with yet another decentralised indexing solution.

“First and foremost, I extend heartfelt congratulations to Astar for the successful deployment of their mainnet. It's indeed a significant milestone, and we are thrilled to collaborate and support developers on the Astar zkEVM platform. Together, let’s build more groundbreaking innovations in the blockchain space."

— Sam Zou, Founder and CEO of SubQuery

Why Use SubQuery?

SubQuery makes it easy to build a custom API for your dApp or smart contracts in minutes, providing clean indexed data to any service. The excellent SubQuery developer experience is flexible, with the ability to make external API calls or import external libraries from within your mapping functions, and better controls to run your projects in your own infrastructure with automated DOS (denial of service) mitigation controls. Additionally, we have yet to make plans to sunset our managed service.

SubQuery is designed to be fast. This adds up when you’re indexing millions of ledgers, and is something to consider when choosing your indexer. SubQuery achieves this by using multi-threading and optimisation of the store to reduce costly database writes. With faster sync times, developers can iterate faster and deliver features to market quicker.
