SubQuery Integrates with Astar Network to Provide Data Indexing Solution
We’re excited to announce the integration with the data indexing solution on Polkadot, SubQuery. SubQuery is an open-source project that allows developers to index, transform, and query Substrate chain data to power their applications. This integration enables dApps projects on Astar to use SubQuery’s data indexing solution to augment the protocol’s data handling capabilities.
SubQuery transforms and organizes data from Polkadot and Substrate projects, and then provides that data for developers to use for a wide array of projects (wallets, explorers, custom chains, or any other dApp). SubQuery provides an open-source SDK, which provides the instructions on how any Indexer should traverse the blockchain, what data to collect, and how it should be shown to users.
With the recent major 2 updates of SubQuery, it has become significantly easier for the developers to build an application on Astar Network. The first piece of an update is that example projects for the developers to instantly start building on SubQuery are available now. (Starter projects are available here) The second piece is that dictionary projects specifically for Astar to ensure indexing is able to massively improve the indexing performance of dApp’s SubQuery Project. (Dictionary project for Astar is available here)
To get started with building an application on Astar Network using SubQuery, please refer to the docs here.
Sota Watanabe had a talk with SubQuery Network about How & Why blockchain teams are using SubQuery. Check out the video below.
About SubQuery
SubQuery’s mission is to help others create products that allow us to move to a decentralised future faster. SubQuery is a blockchain developer toolkit and the backbone of web3 infrastructure. A SubQuery project is a complete open-source API to organise and query data from chains over GraphQL. SubQuery powers the next generation of dApps and tools with web3 data. Currently, anyone can already use SubQuery to extract and query blockchain data in only minutes and at no cost but in a centralised way. The SubQuery Network proposes to enable this same scalable and performant solution, but in a completely decentralised way.

About Astar
Astar Network is a dApp hub on Polkadot that supports Ethereum, WebAssembly, and layer 2 solutions like ZK Rollups. Astar aims to be a multi-chain smart contract platform that will support multiple blockchains and virtual machines. Polkadot Relay Chain doesn’t support smart contracts. That’s why it’s important for the ecosystem to have a parachain that enables this for all developers who want to build in the Polkadot ecosystem. Astar is here to provide the best solution for all developers by supporting EVM and making a parachain where EVM and WASM smart contracts can co-exist and communicate with each other.
