Why Use SubQuery?

SubQuery makes it easy to build a custom API for your dApp or smart contracts in minutes, providing clean indexed data to any service. The excellent SubQuery developer experience is flexible, with the ability to make external API calls or import external libraries from within your mapping functions, and better controls to run your projects in your own infrastructure with automated DOS (denial of service) mitigation controls. Additionally, we have yet to make plans to sunset our managed service.

SubQuery is designed to be fast. This adds up when you’re indexing millions of ledgers, and is something to consider when choosing your indexer. SubQuery achieves this by using multi-threading and optimisation of the store to reduce costly database writes. With faster sync times, developers can iterate faster and deliver features to market quicker.

About Archway

Archway is an incentivized L1 blockchain that allows developers to capture the value their dApps create, enabling sustainable economic models. This has never been more important as the global blockchain space stands on the precipice of technological commoditization.

Archway aims to provide developers with a more equitable distribution of value and opportunities to build self-sustainable dapps, while simultaneously benefiting from the value they bring to the network. By introducing two new modules to the Cosmos SDK, the Protocol distributes a portion of gas fees and inflation, as well as a smart contract premium, to developers. Archway provides developers and dapp creators the remuneration avenues they deserve.

Ambur

Ambur is the premier NFT marketplace on Archway and will continue to curate and launch high-quality collections from diverse artists and web3 builders.
