Hypercharged Data Indexing for zkSync rollups: Meet Traceye

Traceye has expanded its data indexer support for zkSync Hyperchains. This integration is another major step in expanding Traceye’s rollup-specific offerings, such as Polygon CDK chains and Arbitrum Orbit L3s. Standalone Layer2 and Layer3 zkSync hyperchains can now leverage Traceye as their dedicated, custom, and scalable data indexer designed to simplify indexing and querying of both the historical and real-time data for developers. Let’s dive deeper into Traceye’s comprehensive offering for zkSync Hyperchain data indexing and understand how it accommodates lightning-fast and secure data indexing. 

What zkSync Hyperchains can benefit from Traceye’s data indexer?

Traceye data indexer offers high-speed and unparalleled data indexing for all types of permissionless and public zkSync Layer2 and Layer3 chains. Be it a use-case specific or general-purpose hyperchain, each of them can set up their own dedicated indexer with Traceye for a streamlined zkSync Hyperchain data indexing.

For example, a permissions zkSync chain can use Traceye’s dedicated indexer to leverage it for data indexing within the network to maintain privacy and ensure the safety of sensitive data. Meanwhile, a public Zksync rollup chain has the flexibility to either use the data indexer for its network-specific indexing operations or utilize the node infrastructure to launch custom subgraphs that can accommodate a vast developer community. On Traceye, a wide range of subgraphs can be maintained, such as token subgraph, DeFi subgraph, bridge, or explorer-based subgraphs that can index data specific to application requirements. 

How Traceye offers systematic data indexing for zkSync hyperchains?

1. Zero-hassle dedicated indexer launch: 

Traceye features a low-code deployment tool that replaces the complex method of creating a subgraph, example- building from source code. Anyone, with tech skills or basic subgraph knowledge can now launch a dedicated data indexer for their zkSync hyperchain and continue to perform advanced configurations in a hassle-free way. Like, you can enable webhooks, elastic search, or data pruning features in just one click. Similarly, you can set up a robust monitoring system to keep track of your indexer node and subgraphs for superior performance. Traceye has added an abstraction layer for every process which users find challenging.

2. Webhooks for Real-time data streaming:

Based on application-specific needs, zkSync hyperchains may often need hands-on access to PostgreSQL’s indexed database as well as real-time data. While indexed data can be retrieved using Traceye’s dedicated indexer, real-time data streaming requires you to subscribe to an add-on service. Once enabled, you can quickly add custom entities to fetch live custom data. 

3. Optimization with index and ledger data pruning:

The index and ledger data pruning feature of Traceye is built to ensure the top-notch performance of your Graph node and subgraphs deployed on it. ZkSync Hyperchains can use this pruning method to retain blockchain data for a specific block count, let’s say the first 8,000 blocks, and delete older data for older blocks. Hence, pruning optimizes the database and clears space for the latest data. Through index data pruning, an indexer can prune data directly from the network’s metadata, whereas ledger data pruning is enabled for subgraphs using cron.

4. Elastic  search for direct database access: 

While GraphQL APIs are a preferred means to retrieve data from distributed databases, some zkSync Hyperchains seek direct database access. Traceye data indexer facilitates direct DB access through elastic or custom search functionality. For ease, Traceye allows you to simultaneously retrieve data via GraphQL queries and the custom search option, streamlining the whole data indexing and management process.

5. Real-world data query with custom entities: 

Next-gen zkSync Hyperchains require a combination of on-chain and real-world data. However, this approach of retrieving data from distinct ecosystems and managing their separate database is complex plus resource-intensive. With Traceye, access to off-chain data is simple as you just need to set up a dedicated indexer and provide it with a subgraph schema that includes custom entities. Upon successful enabling, your zkSync Hyperchain can start indexing relevant data from various exchanges, gaming platforms, marketplaces, and applications. 

6. Support for leading web3 indexing protocols:

As required, Traceye allows zkSync Hyperchain projects to launch dedicated indexers for leading data indexing protocols such as The Graph and Subquery Network. Set up your indexer in a low-code way, enable add-ons, customize the schema, and manage its subgraphs on Traceye’s data indexing infrastructure optimized for performance, boundless scalability, and uptime. 

7. Flexibility to launch multiple subgraphs:

Each graph node that you launch on Traceye can accommodate multiple use case-specific subgraphs. For example, your graph node can support DeFi, NFTs, and gaming subgraphs according to your ZkSync chain’s data needs. Plus, you have the choice to personalize the subgraph schemas, which you can do through modification in the YAML file and the subgraph schema during development.

8. BI-powered Analytics dashboard: 

Traceye’s BI analytics tool is designed to break down complex blockchain data into easy-to-understand formats using insightful charts, graphs, and tables. Regardless of your Hyperchain’s niche, be it for gaming, DeFi, or general-use chain, you can use BI engine to create comprehensive, custom data reports and analyze them on an interactive dashboard. Also, you embed these data-backed graphs & charts into your preferred interface. 

9. Infra for permissionless hyperchains:

If you are building a permissionless zkSync Hyperchain, you can leverage Traceye’s shared infrastructure offering to add support of your chain on the platform and thereby allow developer community and dApps to index your chain’s data. Opting for this, you get access to an extremely cost-efficient and simplified means of getting desired traction for your network without any heavy lifting. 

10. 24/7 monitoring and support: 

Dedicated subgraph monitoring & 24/7 support are some of the main offerings of Traceye that ensure your data indexer and its subgraphs will benefit from top-notch performance and 100% availability. Further, to keep you updated, Traceye provides you access to a graphical monitoring dashboard compatible with all portable devices. That means you can analyze the real-time performance of the graph node and subgraphs on the go. If there is an issue, the dashboard will produce alerts, though these are solved automatically to avoid hassle. 

Additional Benefits of using Traceye as your data indexer
