Introduction

Accessing Solana’s on chain data just got a whole lot easier. As part of our growing collaboration with SQD and the Soldexer team, SubQuery is now powering high-performance blockchain data analytics on Solana. This partnership represents more than just technical integration - it’s a leap forward for decentralised blockchain infrastructure.

Soldexer, known for simplifying Solana indexing through the SQD protocol, now supercharges SubQuery’s indexer SDK. Together, we’re delivering production-ready APIs and blazing-fast indexing services that unlock complex on-chain data, perfect for crypto tracing, on chain analysis, and real-time dApp development.

In 2024, Solana became the top blockchain for new developers, surpassing Ethereum for the first time since 2016. This highlights Solana's appeal to builders seeking high throughput, low fees, and a streamlined development experience. The shift was driven in part by strong adoption in Asia, particularly India, which led to global onboarding of new crypto developers. 

Our collaboration ensures they can now focus on building rather than battling low-level data infra. Whether you're working on DeFi, NFTs, Web3 gaming, or big data crypto applications, the SubQuery and Soldexer combo removes friction and accelerates your path to market.

And this is just the beginning. We're already exploring deeper integrations with SQD and Soldexer across other verticals. More is on the way as we expand our mission to deliver scalable, decentralised blockchain analysis tools to every Solana builder.

> “By combining SubQuery forces with Soldexer’s data streams we’ve made it dead simple for Solana devs to access structured blockchain data. We’re excited to support one of the most active and innovative ecosystems in Web3.”  

— Ian He, Co-Founder & CTO of SubQuery

How SubQuery Partnered with SQD

To bring powerful and efficient indexing support to the Solana ecosystem, SubQuery partnered with SQD, integrating their advanced data streaming servicer to streamline data access. 

The SubQuery SDK utilises a dedicated data RPC to filter data through blockchains, but with a data-heavy chain like Solana, this could take some time. Soldexer has recently launched as a solution to address the challenges in accessing Solana data, relying on SQD’s network of more than 2000 worker nodes to provide the bandwidth and scale necessary to serve Solana devs. 

To achieve optimal performance, SubQuery developed a dedicated adapter that connects to Soldexer’s data streams, eliminating the need to query every block directly via RPC. The result? A significant boost in indexing performance and a massive reduction in RPC requests, making your blockchain data analytics pipeline smoother than ever.

Indexing Made Easy for Solana Developers

Solana might be the fastest blockchain, but building on it shouldn’t feel like a race against complexity. That’s why SubQuery and Soldexer teamed up to make indexing on Solana as smooth as deploying a smart contract.

With SubQuery’s decentralised blockchain infrastructure and Soldexer’s tailored Solana solution, developers now have access to powerful APIs that eliminate the need for custom backend logic. Whether you're analysing logs or deploying a new DeFi protocol, this is your ultimate blockchain analysis stack.

Save Costs, Earn Rewards with the Consumer Rewards Programme

To support builders across all our supported chains (including Solana), SubQuery has recently launched a powerful Consumer Rewards Programme, allocating 60 million $SQT to reward blockchain developers who deploy their indexers on the SubQuery Network. By deploying your indexer on SubQuery Network, you can reduce infrastructure costs and earn rewards just for contributing to decentralised data.

Whether you’re conducting on chain analysis, building dApps, or improving UX through fast queries, SubQuery helps you scale while rewarding your contribution.

Common Questions About SubQuery Indexers on Solana

1. What does this integration change for Solana devs?

It dramatically improves indexing speed, reduces RPC load, and provides ready-to-use APIs for developers. You no longer need to build and manage your own custom Solana indexer backend.

2. How can I get started?

You can start with our Quick Start Guide, explore the example Solana project on GitHub, or reach out to our team directly on Discord.

3. Is this indexing solution decentralised?

Yes. SubQuery Network is a fully decentralised protocol, and by combining it with Soldexer’s distributed data layer, developers get a robust, scalable, and censorship-resistant indexing stack.

4. Can I earn rewards for using this?

Absolutely. Deploy your project to the SubQuery Network and you can earn from the ongoing 60M $SQT Consumer Rewards Programme.

Conclusion

Solana is scaling, and so are the demands of its developers. Through this collaboration with SQD and Soldexer, SubQuery is removing the pain points of data access and unlocking the next generation of blockchain data analytics.

Whether you're indexing smart contracts, tracing crypto wallet flows, or building the next big dApp, SubQuery and Soldexer are your go-to infrastructure providers. Join the network. Build faster. And earn while doing it.

About Solana
