Couldn’t make it to the Solving the Pains of Indexing on Solana talk at the @SolanaConf yesterday?
Here’s a quick recap of what the @streamingfastio PM brought to the table:
1⃣ Indexing’s role in Solana
Substreams on The Graph helps developers extract, transform & serve on-chain data at scale - beyond traditional limitations. This unlocks custom filtering, fast reads, and permissionless access across Solana.
2️⃣ What Solana infra still needs
• Archive node to backfill account state from genesis
• Stable IDL versioning for backward compatibility
• Unified IDL decoding standards
These changes could make Solana much more developer-friendly.
3️⃣ Enterprise onboarding
Most enterprises don’t want to maintain complex infra. Substreams on The Graph provide general-purpose infra for any read use case - reducing cost, complexity, and time to market.
4️⃣ How The Graph handles Solana’s high TPS
With Substreams, we built a blazing-fast, parallelized streaming engine tailored for Solana’s speed. It supports real-time data with 1.5s block times and handles re-orgs with ease.
Substreams are powering real-time indexing for Solana’s builders, at scale ⚡️
