As blockchain applications scale and user demand increases, the need for reliable, high-speed access to on-chain data has become essential. StreamingFast, a dedicated Web3 infrastructure provider, is addressing this challenge with advanced data extraction and indexing tools built specifically for next-generation decentralized applications.
A Streamlined Approach to Blockchain Data
StreamingFast delivers a modern approach to blockchain data processing through two open-source flagship technologies:
Firehose
Firehose converts blockchain history and live blocks into a continuous data stream, removing the need for traditional node polling or slow RPC sync methods. This flat files-based streaming architecture offers greater throughput, fast delivery, and higher resilience.
Substreams
Substreams builds atop Firehose by allowing developers to create modular, composable, and reusable data pipelines. These modules can filter, transform, or aggregate on-chain data and seamlessly route the output to databases, analytics engines, dashboards, or long-term storage systems. With a streaming-first approach, this results in significantly faster indexing for any data-driven Web3 service.
Together, these tools offer an efficient, scalable, and developer-friendly alternative to conventional blockchain data access.
Expanding Presence Across the Web3 Ecosystem
Founded in 2018, StreamingFast has grown into a key player in blockchain data infrastructure. The project gained major recognition after receiving a core developer grant from The Graph Foundation in 2021, leading to Firehose and Substreams being integrated into The Graph’s indexing stack, and as standalone offerings to The Graph data consumers.
This collaboration positioned StreamingFast as a foundational component for analytics platforms, subgraphs, and large-scale blockchain data services used across both the Web3 ecosystem and tradfi organizations that rely on this data.
Specializing in high-throughput chains, StreamingFast is able to offer unique endpoints to solve deep pain points. Their Solana Account Changes endpoint eases the development burden of utilizing Solana data in applications and datastores.
Recent Updates Strengthening the Platform
Throughout 2025, StreamingFast has continued expanding chain support (boasting more than 45 chains currently supported on The Graph Market) and enhancing its tooling. Some of the recent notable updates include:
- Launch of Substreams RPC v3 (Oct 2025) — enabling developers to work with .spkg packages directly for smoother integrations.
- Newly supported chains – In recent months alone, support has been added for Monad, Injective EVM, TRON (native + EVM), World Chain and Katana (with others in active development)
- Improved documentation and tooling — including better code generation and clearer technical guides.
These updates reflect StreamingFast’s continued commitment to broadening its multi-chain infrastructure and improving developer experience.
Why StreamingFast Matters
With Web2 companies and Web3 applications relying increasingly on a wider dataset coming from a large number of ever-faster blockchains, StreamingFast provides critical value through:
- Real-time blockchain data streaming
- Faster, parallelized indexing
- Multi-chain expansion
- High-performance, reliable backend infrastructure
- Expanded endpoint offerings
From analytics dashboards to cross-chain scanners and monitoring systems, StreamingFast supports a wide range of data-intensive applications.
Conclusion
StreamingFast is rapidly emerging as one of the most important infrastructure providers in Web3. Through its streaming-first architecture, strong multi-chain support, and consistent development updates, the project is helping define a new standard for how blockchain data is accessed and indexed. As demand for real-time blockchain insights continues to grow, StreamingFast’s role in the broader ecosystem is set to become even more significant.
