SubQuery's blockchain data indexing in web3 has taken another leap forward with our latest innovation— the multichain rewind feature.

This highly anticipated feature not only enhances multichain indexing to match the flexibility of single-chain indexing but also introduces support for unfinalised blocks across multiple networks. Developers can now seamlessly rewind and reprocess data across chains, unlocking new levels of efficiency.

The Problem: A Bottleneck in Multi-Chain Indexing

Before, changing something in a multi-chain project meant redoing the entire indexing process from scratch. This was slow and frustrating for developers, causing delays. It was a big problem for teams building fast-moving Web3 apps that needed constant updates.

The Solution: Multi-Chain Rewind

SubQuery’s multi-chain rewind eliminates this bottleneck by allowing projects to selectively rewind to a specific point in time, without the need for a full reindex. 

This advancement significantly reduces development friction and enhances the overall efficiency of blockchain data indexing.

Key Benefits of Multi-Chain Rewind

Efficient Data Updates

• No need to reindex from scratch—simply rewind to the relevant point in the blockchain and apply necessary changes.
• Saves considerable time and computational resources.

Indexing Unfinalised Blocks

• Supports indexing of unfinalised blocks on multi-chain projects, reducing the delay between block production and data availability.
• Enables near real-time data querying, a critical feature for DeFi, gaming, and other high-frequency applications.

Enhancing SubQuery Network Compatibility

• Brings multi-chain projects closer to full feature parity with single-chain indexing.
• Paves the way for future enhancements such as:
  • Schema migrations
  • Proof of index
  • Seamless integration with the SubQuery Network

A Feature Built for Developers

This update directly addresses a major pain point raised by multiple teams in the Web3 space. The ability to rewind selectively within a multi-chain project ensures that developers can work more efficiently, iterate faster, and maintain optimal performance across their applications.

With multi-chain rewind, SubQuery continues to push the boundaries of blockchain data indexing, reinforcing its position as a leader in decentralised data infrastructure. This feature marks a major milestone towards a more seamless and scalable multi-chain future.
