Paris- Chiliz Chain, the leading blockchain for the sports and entertainment industry, announced the integration of The Graph, a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying blockchain data, on October 8. This integration will provide developers with efficient access to blockchain data, enabling the creation of powerful decentralized applications (dApps), and marks a significant milestone in fostering a robust SportFi ecosystem on Chiliz Chain.
The Graph functions as a crucial indexing layer for Web3 applications, allowing developers to build and publish open APIs, known as subgraphs, which can be queried using GraphQL. Supporting data indexing across many chains—including Ethereum, NEAR, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, and now Chiliz Chain—The Graph is an indispensable tool for developers aiming to create powerful and scalable dApps in the sports and entertainment sector.
This integration will offer developers on the Chiliz Chain several key benefits, including:
-
Enhanced data accessibility: Developers can easily access and query blockchain data from the Chiliz Chain, streamlining the development process and reducing time-to-market.
-
Improved dApp performance: The Graph's efficient indexing capabilities can help improve the performance and scalability of dApps built on the Chiliz Chain.
-
Increased developer productivity: By providing a standardized and user-friendly way to access blockchain data, The Graph can help developers focus on building innovative applications rather than spending time on data retrieval.
This advancement is closely aligned with Chiliz's mission of bringing blockchain technology to the sports and entertainment industry, supporting the vision of a more engaged and decentralized fan experience.
“Chiliz has always been committed to building a reliable and secure platform that empowers developers to realize their web3 dreams in the sports and entertainment space,” said Alexandre Dreyfus, Founder and CEO of the Chiliz Group. “Collaborating with The Graph provides top-notch indexing and querying support, further strengthening the foundation for development on Chiliz Chain and enhancing our ability to serve sports teams, leagues, and fans worldwide.”
Felix von Hanstein, BD & Partnerships at Edge & Node said, “Web3 use cases are growing in The Graph ecosystem, as marked by The Graph’s integration with Chiliz Chain, a pioneering blockchain in the sports and entertainment sector with a globally distributed community. This integration makes it easier for developers on Chiliz Chain to build and access fast, performant dApps, while also expanding The Graph's adoption within new industries. Together, we're empowering developers to create scalable, decentralized solutions that will shape the future of the sports.”
