BNB Chain Reduces Block Time, Challenges Data Indexing Solutions
⚡ Your Indexer Might Be Toast
BNB Chain is halving its block time, leading a trend of faster blockchain data generation. This shift creates new challenges:
- More frequent time-sensitive ETH calls
- Increased likelihood of chain forks
- Greater pressure on existing infrastructure
Traditional indexing solutions may struggle with these changes. Substreams offers a solution with:
- Real-time data streaming
- High-throughput processing
- Low-latency performance
- Scalable architecture
Visit substreams.dev to prepare your infrastructure for faster block speeds.
Wondering what's been going with blockchain data indexing recently? Chains like @BNBCHAIN are cutting their block times in half, pushing new data onchain faster than ever, and many others are on the way. Faster blocks mean more time-sensitive ETH calls, more forks, and serious
