Blockchain Indexer: Fast and Reliable Web3 API for Cardano
Building and maintaining a blockchain indexer can be a complex and time-consuming task, especially for developers who are new to blockchain technology. Maestro is a blockchain infrastructure company that provides easy-to-use APIs and tools that abstract away the complexities of the blockchain, making it easier for developers to focus more on building dapps and less on the underlying systems to support them
By using Maestro’s blockchain indexer, developers no longer have to spend time and resources on building and maintaining a complex blockchain indexing pipeline. Maestro’s high performance indexer offers enterprise-grade scalability, security, and reliability at a reduced cost. This can help accelerate the development process and allow developers to focus on building the core features of their DApps.
Blockchain Indexer
A blockchain indexer is a key piece of infrastructure required to power most Web3 dapps. It gives access to on-chain data quickly, reliably and accurately. In the context of a distributed ledger, this is easier said than done.
For example, The Graph is a popular blockchain indexing protocol for querying networks like Ethereum and IPFS. It plays a key role in streamlining data availability for many Web3 applications.
Data availability on Cardano is particularly difficult due to its unique protocol design and the pervasive occurrence of block rollbacks. This poses a big challenge for dapp builders as they are often faced with a tradeoff between data latency and accuracy.
You can either get the most up-to-date “live” data and risk data integrity issues from rollbacks, or attempt to avoid rollbacks by imposing a block buffer at the expense of retrieving slightly outdated data.
Maestro’s blockchain indexer has been designed to address these specific challenges. It can handle rollbacks gracefully and in real-time, giving users live data without sacrificing data integrity. Let’s take a closer look at its different components:
Indexer — Specialized data processing pipelines to extract, match and process on-chain information, including rollbacks.
Storage — A datalake to store different types of data in an optimal way.
Access — A REST API that enables comprehensive and performant querying.
Practical use cases:
Access to live and accurate on-chain data is a key in providing optimal user experiences, such as in time-sensitive DeFi applications, browser wallets, blockchain explorers, and bridges.
