1. Main goal
A quarter-century of digital transformation has gotten us to the advent of the Data Age. From the introduction of email through to broadband, WiFi, cloud storage, SaaS and big data analytics, the pieces have been moving into place. Now, in the year 2021, we are at the cusp of something new. To thrive in this new age, every organization needs a complete view of its data — real-time insight, with the ability to take real-time action.. The demand for services helping query and process data of blockchains in general and of Polkadot Ecosystem in particular will be huge when Polkadot Ecosystem is totally completed. Since decentralization means data is distributed across the world, the query service of decentralized networks has to be as fast as centralized networks so that Web3.0 dream can be true. Inspired by The Graph, Subquery aims to solve that query problem. They think Polkadot/Substrate teams should not worry about building their own server indexer but should focus 100% to build their DApps.
SubQuery’s aim is to help Polkadot/Substrate projects build better dApps by allowing anyone to reliably find and consume data faster. Their service will allow users to extract, transform, persist, and query data initially, as well as connect and present data in the future. Their aim is to make this a core piece of infrastructure for the Substrate/Polkadot ecosystem, just as The Graph has become for Ethereum.

3. SubQuery Tools
This suite of tools includes @subql/cli, to allow projects to generate their own SubQuery project, defining how the indexer should traverse and aggregate their own network. Secondly, there’s a SubQuery node package that loads the defined SubQuery project created by the CLI and then indexes the network to a Postgres database. Using Hasura, developers can run GraphQL queries right away over indexed tables. With the help of these tools, and the community support material that the team is always improving, anyone can create and run queries easily.
4. SubQuery Projects
Create and deploy Projects that will be hosted by SubQuery and can be shared to the Explorer. Help SubQuery achieve their mission to make the world’s decentralised data accessible. SubQuery Projects is the new place where you can publish your projects to their managed service. Once developers connect their GitHub accounts, developers are only minutes away from sharing their SubQuery project to over 500 users of the SubQuery Explorer. Their own project can be hosted online right next to existing SubQuery projects from Acala and Bifrost.
5. SubQuery Explorer
SubQuery Explorer is an online hosted service that provides access to published SubQuery projects made by contributors around the world and managed by the SubQuery team. With SubQuery Explorer, anyone can query and extract Polkadot network data in only minutes and at no cost. Also, SubQuery Explorer provides a playground for discovering available data with example queries. Users can play around with each SubQuery Graph using this explorer without implementing anything in code.
6. SubQuery Seed Round & Grant Information
On March 12, SubQuery Network announced that they raised a $1.8 million seed round and private sale backed primarily by many big ventures and investors such as DeFi Alliance, D1 Ventures, Hypersphere Ventures, Digital Finance Group (DFG), and The Lao. Furthermore, the team also received a grant from the Web3 Foundation in December 2020.
About SubQuery Network
SubQuery enables better dApps by making decentralised data more accessible. SubQuery allows every Substrate/Polkadot team to process and query their data. The project is inspired by the growth of data protocols serving the application layer and its aim is to help Polkadot/Substrate projects build better dApps by allowing anyone to reliably find and consume data faster. Today, anyone can query and extract Polkadot network data in only minutes and at no cost. SubQuery aims to support all Substrate-compatible networks.
