The Graph, a decentralized protocol for blockchain data indexing and access, has introduced key upgrades aimed at enhancing the decentralized applications ecosystem on Solana.
A press release shared with crypto.news on Sept. 16 states that The Graph (GRT) has upgraded its tooling on Solana (SOL) network to offer new ways for developers to access and leverage the blockchain.
With the upgrades, developers now have more options to access indexed Solana data. The substreams-powered subgraphs allow those building on the smart contracts platform to tap into pre-built solutions from providers like Messari and Top Ledger.
Leveraging Substreams-powered subgraphs
In The Graph’s ecosystem, substreams-powered subgraphs offer technology that enables faster indexing for decentralized applications. Benefits include a dev-environment where dapp developers can use coding tools both remotely and locally.
Developers on Solana can also utilize this technology to sync projects quickly. Builders can access Solana blockchain data without needing to use substreams or the Rust programming language.
A boost to Solana’s web3 ecosystem
This means developers can get the best out of Solana’s network amid the web3 explosion, noted Nick Hansen, head of growth at The Graph Foundation. He highlighted features like high throughput, low fees, and a growing ecosystem of DeFi projects.
“The meteoric rise of developer and user activity on Solana has created a huge demand for open, decentralized data that is true to the values of web3. The Graph’s latest tooling upgrade and enhanced support will ensure the Solana community can get even more value out of web3’s decentralized data layer.”

Apart from Solana developers, data analysts and the broader web3 community are also likely to find the new tools crucial.
The Graph, launched in 2018, has grown into one of the key blockchain projects in the web3 space. Developers have deployed dapps built with subgraphs on more than 70 blockchains, including Ethereum (ETH), Arbitrum (ARB), and Avalanche (AVAX).
