Substreams: Massively Faster Indexing Performance for Subgraphs

Note: This post was created by The Graph and originally posted on The Graph Blog

The Graph ecosystem has grown substantially over the past year, with five Core Developer teams now working full-time to enhance The Graph’s indexing and query capabilities for the world. StreamingFast, the first additional team to join as a Core Dev after Edge & Node, brings both an incredible pool of talent and powerful technology to further the protocol. One of the most exciting innovations is coming to fruition soon: substreams.

StreamingFast (formerly dfuse) was founded in 2018, providing high performance, cross-chain centralized indexing services. Interactions with the Edge & Node team convinced StreamingFast that decentralization is the most effective and scalable way to build for the future. Subsequently, StreamingFast accepted a grant from The Graph Foundation and, in June 2021, joined as a Graph Core Developer team to work full-time on The Graph ecosystem. This decentralized version of M&A was the first of its kind (but not the last).
