Our 2026 Roadmap: Scaling SubQuery With Purpose

Thu Mar 05 2026

Today we’re launching the SubQuery 2026 Roadmap.

You can explore the full breakdown of goals and milestones on our website here:

This post is not about listing every feature. It’s about explaining where we’re heading and why.

At a high level, our goal for 2026 is simple: convert the strength of our infrastructure into scalable, monetizable intelligence. That means reducing experimental friction in the protocol while maximizing adoption, incentives, and revenue signals. Everything in this roadmap supports that vision.

There are two clear focus areas this year: the SubQuery Network and AskSubQuery. Together, they represent the infrastructure and the interface of decentralized data.

SubQuery Network: Strengthening the Core and Expanding the Vision

The SubQuery Network has proven that decentralized indexing works. Now the focus shifts from proving it works to making it stronger, smarter, and ready for the next stage of growth.

First, incentives.

A decentralized network only scales if its economics are sustainable. In 2026 we are refining token mechanics, improving reward structures, and introducing more dynamic ways to balance costs for consumers with fair returns for Node Operators. The goal is long term stability. Builders need predictable pricing. Node Operators need reliable incentives. Both matter.

Second, developer experience.

The way developers build software has changed rapidly with the rise of AI coding tools. SubQuery needs to feel natural in that environment. This year we are investing heavily in performance improvements, better tooling, and AI-friendly workflows so building with SubQuery is faster and more intuitive than ever. We are also expanding multi-chain support to stay ahead of emerging ecosystems.

Third, expanding beyond indexing.

Data retrieval is only the starting point. Applications increasingly need analytics, insight, and computation layered on top of raw blockchain data. In 2026 we are moving further into verifiable analytics and advanced compute integrations to support more complex and AI-native workloads. The long term vision is clear: SubQuery becomes the data and intelligence backbone for Web3 applications.

At its core, the Network strategy is about resilience, performance, and evolution.

AskSubQuery: Making Web3 Data Accessible to Everyone

If the Network is the engine, AskSubQuery is how people interact with it.

The strategy here is simple: remove friction and expand capability.

We are introducing clearer subscription plans, streamlined onboarding, and transparent billing so individuals and teams can adopt AskSubQuery with confidence. Access should be straightforward. Pricing should make sense. Usage should be visible.

Beyond access, we are expanding what the platform can do.

AskSubQuery is evolving into a more powerful conversational workspace. That includes better support for integrating external data sources, new tools for organizing and sharing analysis, and deeper real time project intelligence powered by live indexed data.

Our ambition is to make natural language the default way people explore blockchain data. Instead of writing complex queries, users should be able to ask questions and receive reliable, real time answers backed by verifiable on chain information.

This is about making decentralized data usable not just for developers, but for teams, analysts, and decision makers.

The Bigger Picture

The 2026 roadmap is focused and deliberate.

On one side, we are strengthening and expanding the SubQuery Network so it can support more advanced workloads and a growing ecosystem.

On the other, we are scaling AskSubQuery into the primary interface for exploring Web3 data through conversation.

Together, they move us closer to a single goal: positioning SubQuery as the default data and intelligence layer for Web3.

This year is about scalable, monetizable intelligence - a foundation for a more usable, sustainable, and powerful Web3 ecosystem.

We are excited about what this year represents and even more excited to build it alongside our community.

About SubQuery

SubQuery is building the foundational data layer of Web3 — open, scalable, and designed for the AI-driven future.

SubQuery Network provides decentralised data indexers and dRPCs that power thousands of dApps across nearly 300 networks. With AI-assisted tools in the SubQuery SDK and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, developers can easily build, deploy, and scale blockchain data infrastructure.

SubQuery Hermes (Subnet 82) is a Bittensor subnet that connects AI agents directly to blockchain data through GraphQL. By rewarding developers to create and improve these agents, Hermes enables intelligent on-chain applications.

AskSubQuery.xyz provides graphql query MCP as a service. It is also the first product to connect to Hermes Subnet as an Authorized Caller.

With SubQuery, you can unlock intelligence in blockchain data.
