Flare integrates with Goldsky for faster synchronization of blockchain data
Flare, the blockchain for data, is pleased to announce its integration with Goldsky, a leading real-time data platform. The collaboration will provide developers with essential tools for simplifying dApp creation, streamline access to real-time blockchain data, and enhance developer experience by enabling high-performance indexing.
What are the key features of the integration?
The Goldsky integration brings:
- Subgraphs: Query essential blockchain data with minimal setup and enable faster development of data-driven dApps.
- Mirror: DApps can seamlessly live-stream the state of the Flare blockchain directly into a database, powering rich and data-driven user experiences.
How do these key features simplify dApp creation?
In serving as an official indexer for Flare, Goldsky makes it easier for dApp developers to monitor the state of the Flare blockchain and access real-time data, which eliminates the need for complex infrastructure setups. This live-streamed data, enabled by Mirror, is particularly useful for dApps requiring immediate data updates such as perpetual futures and prediction markets.
Goldsky also simplifies dApp creation with its developer-friendly features. With Goldsky’s scalable subgraphs and flexible data streaming pipelines, developers can build dApps faster and more efficiently, allowing for a smoother development process. It also offers features such as elastic compute for scalable processing, as well as self-healing capabilities to handle blockchain reorgs and save periodic backups.
What is the larger significance to the Flare ecosystem?
The Goldsky integration supports ecosystem growth by providing developers with reliable, high-performance tools that accelerate dApp development. “Goldsky aligns exceptionally with Flare’s plans to further boost the already fast network speeds of 1.8 second block times,” says Co-Founder and CEO of Hugo Philion. “High-performance solutions like Goldsky support Flare’s fast-paced blockchain environment, ensuring that developers can efficiently build dApps that match Flare’s rapid transaction speeds.”
Mirror pipelines enable developers to replicate data in real time, including subgraphs and chain-level datasets like blocks, transactions, logs, and traces, into their own infrastructure. Mirror is Goldsky’s real-time data streaming solution, delivering high-performance access to blockchain event data. Trusted by projects such as Polymarket, POAP, and Unichain, Goldsky powers many of the Web3 dApps you know and love today. By integrating with Mirror, Flare developers gain instant, low-latency access to blocks, transactions, logs, and traces — enabling seamless indexing, analytics, and dApp functionality. This integration eliminates infrastructure complexity, ensuring developers can focus on building and scaling innovative applications across the Flare ecosystem.
"We're proud to be Flare’s primary indexing partner, empowering the next wave of builders in their ecosystem. With dApps like SparkDEX, RainDEX, and Steer Finance already leveraging Goldsky, innovation on Flare is accelerating, and we’re excited to support its continued growth." - Jeff Ling, Co-Founder and CTO
This integration underscores Flare’s continued commitment to providing developers with all the tools they need to create innovative solutions. And to double down on ecosystem support and overall growth, Flare will provide credits to any developers using Goldsky’s services to bootstrap new projects.
