Enhance Data Indexing and Query Performance Using Subsquid

[Atunde-SS]

Issue Description

As the Polymer Blockchain network continues to grow and integrate more dApps, the demand for efficient data indexing and retrieval will becomes increasingly critical. To address this, I propose leveraging Subsquid's decentralized query engine and data lake capabilities to enhance the Polymer network's data processing efficiency, particularly for dApps that require real-time data access and historical data analysis.

Proposed Solution

Subsquid provides a powerful ecosystem for batch extraction of large volumes of data from blockchain networks. It offers high-level libraries for extracting and filtering data, which can be thought of as Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) pipelines. These capabilities could be particularly beneficial for the following areas of the Polymer network:

1. dApp-Specific APIs: Utilize Subsquid's Squid SDK to build custom indexers that serve dApp-specific APIs. This would allow dApps on the Polymer network to sync quickly with historical data and switch seamlessly to real-time data, enhancing user experience and dApp responsiveness.

2. Data Analysis and Forensics: Implement data pipelines using Subsquid's technology to prepare, transform, and load large volumes of on-chain data. This would enable advanced data analysis and forensics, aiding developers and analysts in understanding on-chain activity and making informed decisions.

3. On-Chain Activity Monitoring: Create highly customizable data sources for dashboards and on-chain activity monitoring. By integrating Subsquid's indexing capabilities, Polymer can provide more granular and up-to-date insights into network transactions and events, which is essential for network security and optimization.

Expected Outcome

By integrating Subsquid's technology into the Polymer network, we can expect:

• Improved data indexing speed and accuracy.
• Enhanced query performance for both historical and real-time data.
• A more robust and developer-friendly environment for building and maintaining dApps.

Interesting idea. According to your proposal, each Dapp needs its own squid, right (Squid is tied to that specific Dapp)?
