Operating between layer-1 blockchains and decentralised apps (dApp), our service allowsdevelopers to focus on their core use case and front-end, without needing to waste time on building a custom backend for data processing.SubQuery allows every Substrate/Polkadot team to process and query their data. The project is inspired by the growth of data protocols serving the application layer and its aim is to help Polkadot/Substrate projects build better dApps by allowing anyone to reliably find and consume data faster. Today, anyone can query and extract Polkadot network data in only minutes and at no cost. |  | Venture - Series Unknown | Nov 28, 2022 |  |
