The Graph Launches Token API Beta with Solana Support

**The Challenge**: Every new blockchain creates fresh indexing complications for developers. **The Vision**: What if all blockchain networks could be queried using the same standardized approach? **The Concept**: Treating blockchain data like a traditional database could simplify access across multiple chains. Key benefits: - Eliminates chain-specific indexing requirements - Standardizes data access methods - Reduces development complexity This approach could transform how developers interact with multi-chain ecosystems, making blockchain data as accessible as conventional databases.

**The Graph has significantly expanded its network support in 2025**, adding integration for major blockchains including: - **Solana** - High-performance blockchain support - **Soneium** - Sony's blockchain platform - **Abstract Chain** - New layer-2 solution - **Unichain** - Uniswap's dedicated chain - **Monad** - High-throughput blockchain - **Tron** - Popular smart contract platform The expansion covers **Subgraphs, Substreams, and Token API**, giving developers unified access to onchain data across multiple networks through a standardized interface. **Key benefit**: Developers can now access blockchain data from diverse ecosystems using familiar tools and standards, regardless of the underlying chain architecture. This growth reinforces **The Graph's position as web3's data infrastructure layer**, making it easier for builders to create cross-chain applications without managing multiple data sources.

**The Graph Token API Beta** now includes **Spam/Scam Scoring v0.1.0**, a new feature that helps detect and filter malicious NFT actors. **Key Features:** - Identifies spam and scam tokens across Ethereum and Base networks - Protects wallets, dApps, and users from fraudulent tokens - Available through The Graph Token API Beta **Additional Updates:** - Expanded SPL endpoints for balances, transfers, swaps, and token metadata - Token OHLC for historical prices coming soon Developers can access the feature through [The Graph's documentation](thegraph.com/docs/en/token-a) to integrate spam protection into their applications.

**The Graph** is participating as a Silver Sponsor at SuperteamKorea's Start Up Village event. The protocol will host a virtual session titled **"Solving the Pains of Indexing on Solana"** led by Giuliano. **Event Details:** - Date: Wednesday, September 17 - Time: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM EDT - Format: Virtual participation available The session focuses on addressing indexing challenges within the Solana ecosystem.

**The Graph's Substreams** offers a breakthrough approach to blockchain data indexing, dramatically outperforming traditional methods. **Traditional vs. Revolutionary:** - Traditional indexing: Like turning one faucet on/off 1000 times to fill a bathtub - **Substreams**: 15 faucets on full blast with direct connection **Key Technical Advantages:** - Direct connection to blockchain nodes (bypasses slow RPC calls) - **Parallel processing** for maximum efficiency - Real-time data streaming capabilities **Why This Matters Now:** Blockchain networks are accelerating block times, creating more time-sensitive data and infrastructure pressure. While most indexing solutions struggle to keep pace, **Substreams is built for high-throughput, low-latency workloads**. As block speeds continue increasing across major chains, infrastructure readiness becomes critical for developers and applications requiring fast, reliable blockchain data access.
