The Graph upgrades tooling for Solana devs to accelerate dApp deployment

The Graph, a decentralized protocol specializing in blockchain data indexing, has announced significant upgrades to enhance the decentralized applications (dApps) ecosystem on Solana.

In a press release dated September 16, The Graph revealed that it has enhanced its tools on the Solana network, providing developers with more options to access and utilize indexed data.

Enhanced Access Through Substreams-Powered Subgraphs

The introduction of substreams-powered subgraphs is a key feature of these upgrades, enabling faster indexing for dApps. This technology allows developers to leverage pre-built solutions from partners like Messari and Top Ledger, streamlining the development process.

Developers can now access Solana blockchain data more easily, without the need for advanced knowledge of substreams or the Rust programming language. This flexibility supports both remote and local coding environments, allowing for quicker project synchronization.

Strengthening Solana’s Web3 Ecosystem

These improvements position developers to maximize the benefits of Solana’s robust network amid the rapid growth of web3. Nick Hansen, head of growth at The Graph Foundation, emphasized the advantages of Solana, including its high throughput and low transaction costs, as well as the expanding DeFi landscape.

By providing these upgraded tools, The Graph aims to empower the Solana community, enhancing the overall potential for decentralized applications and fostering further innovation in the blockchain space.

“The meteoric rise of developer and user activity on Solana has created a huge demand for open, decentralized data that is true to the values of web3. The Graph’s latest tooling upgrade and enhanced support will ensure the Solana community can get even more value out of web3’s decentralized data layer.”

In addition to benefiting Solana developers, the new tools from The Graph are expected to be invaluable for data analysts and the wider web3 community.

Since its launch in 2018, The Graph has established itself as a pivotal player in the web3 landscape. Developers have successfully deployed decentralized applications (dApps) utilizing subgraphs across over 70 blockchains, including prominent networks like Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Avalanche. This extensive reach underscores The Graph’s importance in facilitating data access and indexing for a diverse range of blockchain projects.
