According to BlockBeats, on September 17, The Graph Protocol, a Web3 data blockchain protocol, announced the launch of new tools and resources designed to improve how developers interact with Solana data. The foundational modules of The Graph Protocol now offer enhanced support for Solana, aiding developers in leveraging fast, reliable, and organized on-chain data to accelerate development processes. These new modules cover most of Solana's DeFi projects, including DEX, NFT, AMM, and lending protocols. They provide critical access points to Solana data, enabling developers to quickly access indexed data in key areas of the Solana ecosystem.
The new modules utilize a new Codegen tool and GUI to simplify the developer experience (DevEx), allowing for the rapid and easy development of subgraphs locally or through GitHub Codespaces with all dependencies pre-installed. Subgraphs can now synchronize several orders of magnitude faster using the substream engine that supports graph nodes, reducing synchronization time from weeks to just a few hours. Developers can immediately access multiple subgraphs supported by Substreams, which are built and maintained by renowned teams and deployed on a decentralized network. The new, more detailed documentation and step-by-step guides enable developers to get started quickly and avoid unnecessary pitfalls. With substreams on Solana, all data can now be easily parsed.
