🔗Indexer Nodes

Currently, KIP Protocol offers a choice to developers: they can choose to query on-chain events via a database server maintained by the protocol or via a Subgraph. Each requires node providers to ensure its prompt and effective functioning.

WebSocket Proxy Nodes

These nodes provide access to KIP data servers that are used to store on-chain events for users of the central KIP ecosystem contracts.

Indexer Nodes

Currently KIP developers who prefer not to use the ecosystem servers must instantiate a Subgraph of their own to record on-chain emits. In the longer run, however, our aim is to provide an independent decentralized indexing service and even – potentially – a data-storage app-chain.
