Squid SDK is a TypeScript ETL toolkit for building blockchain data indexers, supporting Ethereum-like chains, Substrate, and Solana, with data sourced from the SQD Network's decentralized data lake via its Portal API. It provides fast binary codecs, type-safe decoded data access, reorg handling, persistence to databases like PostgreSQL, and auto-generated GraphQL APIs.

Use cases

  • index ethereum transactions and events into postgres
  • build a graphql api for on-chain defi data
  • track token transfers and swaps on solana
  • replace the graph subgraph with a custom indexer
  • stream blockchain blocks for analytics dashboards
  • build a backend for a dapp that reads on-chain state
  • index substrate chain events from polkadot
  • feed on-chain data to ai agents or trading analytics

When to choose

  • you need a code-first, type-safe indexer toolkit rather than a declarative indexing app
  • you want high-throughput blockchain data streaming from SQD Network's Portal instead of slow RPC calls
  • you need multi-chain support (EVM, Solana, Substrate) in one framework
  • you want auto-generated GraphQL APIs over indexed data

When to avoid

  • you only need occasional one-off RPC queries rather than full-chain indexing
  • you prefer declarative subgraph-style indexing with minimal code (TheGraph or Ponder may fit better)
  • your project is not in the TypeScript/Node.js ecosystem
  • you don't want any dependency on SQD Network or Portal infrastructure
