Introduction

Solana’s high-speed, low-cost blockchain has become a magnet for builders chasing scale without compromise. However, despite Solana running for over two years, accessing its data has remained a prime challenge for builders. With the help of a trusted partner (to be revealed soon), this is about to change. Now, blockchain developers building on Solana can supercharge their dApps with SubQuery’s lightning-fast indexing. Discover how it saves time, boosts performance, and simplifies data access.

After announcing in March that SubQuery was bringing its infrastructure tools to Solana, starting with RPCs and closely followed by indexers, we’re excited to share that builders can now seamlessly access and organise Solana blockchain data through flexible, production-ready APIs—perfect for blockchain analysis—without the need to wrangle low-level RPC calls or build indexing logic from scratch.

With over 3,200 monthly active developers and 7,600+ new builders joining in 2024 alone, Solana has become one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in Web3. We are excited to support this thriving blockchain developer base with our high-performance infrastructure tools.

Whether you're building DeFi, NFTs, or on-chain games, SubQuery empowers rapid development, iteration, and innovation for any kind of Web3 app.

With SubQuery’s open-source SDK, managed service, and thorough documentation, Solana teams can scale faster while offloading infrastructure complexity. Projects can go from idea to live product in record time without sacrificing performance or reliability.

How We Achieved Solana Indexing Support

To deliver fast and reliable indexing support for the Solana ecosystem, SubQuery has taken a major leap forward in empowering blockchain developers, with the help of a trusted partner (soon to be revealed).

Solana’s high-throughput, data-heavy architecture presents unique challenges for any indexer working with complex blockchain applications. By collaborating with an expert in Solana infrastructure, SubQuery was able to dramatically enhance performance and scalability for indexers across the network. This integration removes the need to scan every block directly via RPC, enabling faster indexing and a significant reduction in infrastructure load. The result is a game-changing improvement for any blockchain developer building Web3 applications on Solana, allowing them to deploy scalable, high-performance dApps with minimal friction. Stay tuned — more details about this powerful partnership will be revealed soon.

Why SubQuery Is the Best Way to Index Blockchain Data

SubQuery makes it easier than ever for blockchain developers to build fast, scalable, and flexible data solutions. Here's why:

Rapid API Creation: Build custom APIs for your dApp or smart contract in minutes—no complex backend required.
Flexible & Extensible: Import libraries, make external API calls, and customise your logic however you like.
Run It Your Way: Deploy on your own infrastructure, earn rewards by deploying to our decentralised network, or even use one of our hosting partners - the choice is yours!
Optimised for Speed: Multi-threaded store and reduced DB writes result in faster sync times—ideal for on-chain analysis and quick feature rollouts.

Decentralised RPC Available for Solana Blockchain Developers

*Building on Solana? This is your ultimate dApp tech stack. From on-chain data to off-chain insights, SubQuery powers both RPC and indexing so your Web3 app can scale with speed and precision*

Decentralised RPC available for Solana devs

Don’t forget about our decentralised RPC as well. With over 3,000 active monthly developers, Solana's growing ecosystem demands reliable, scalable endpoints. SubQuery delivers just that with our decentralised Solana RPC, which provides Solana blockchain developers with high-speed, censorship-resistant access through a global network of independent node operators.

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. That means now is the ideal time to build an indexer with SubQuery to reduce your infrastructure costs and earn rewards simply by contributing to a decentralised data network that powers blockchain applications and Web3 apps. Whether you're performing on-chain analysis or building production-ready tools, SubQuery helps you save costs while scaling with confidence.

Common Questions About Blockchain Indexing and SubQuery

What does a blockchain indexer do?

A blockchain indexer extracts, processes, and organises on-chain data into a format that's easy to query—essential for analytics, dashboards, and dApp functionality. With SubQuery, developers can create custom indexers in minutes without needing to build complex backend infrastructure.

Why is indexing important for Web3 apps?

Indexing enables fast, structured access to blockchain data, which dramatically improves app responsiveness, user experience, and developer agility. It's critical for apps like DeFi dashboards, NFT explorers, and on-chain games.

What is a decentralised RPC, and why does it matter?

A decentralised RPC (Remote Procedure Call) endpoint distributes traffic across many independent nodes, preventing single points of failure and censorship. SubQuery’s decentralised RPC for Solana ensures uptime, performance, and trustlessness.

How can I earn rewards with SubQuery?

Blockchain developers can join the 60 million $SQT Consumer Rewards Programme by deploying indexers on the SubQuery Network. This reduces infra costs and incentivises meaningful contributions to Web3 data infrastructure.

Conclusion

Blockchain developers on Solana can now build faster and easier with SubQuery. Get lightning-fast indexing in addition to decentralised RPC access, and clean on-chain data without the hassle. Whether you're working on DeFi, NFTs, or games, SubQuery helps you save time, cut costs, and ship faster. With the ongoing 60M $SQT Consumer Rewards programme, it’s never been a better time to start building.

About Solana

Solana is a high-performance blockchain built for speed and scalability, offering ultra-fast transaction times and minimal fees—making it a top choice for both developers and users. Launched in 2020, it quickly gained momentum as the go-to platform for emerging sectors like DeFi, NFTs, and on-chain gaming.

What sets Solana apart is its ability to scale without compromising on decentralization or security—solving the blockchain trilemma in a way few others have managed. This unique balance has helped Solana carve out a leading position in the next generation of Web3 infrastructure.
