Subgraph and Transparency

Subgraph and Blockchain Data

The Rush Games dapp utilizes a subgraph to index and query live data from the blockchain. The subgraph acts as a data layer between the blockchain and the frontend application, providing an efficient and flexible way to access and retrieve relevant data.

Built using The Graph, a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying blockchain data, the subgraph defines a schema that specifies the data entities and their relationships. It maps the blockchain events to these entities using mapping functions written in AssemblyScript.

The subgraph is configured to index data from various smart contracts within the Rush Games ecosystem. It listens for relevant events emitted by these contracts, such as game outcomes, player actions, and token transfers. The captured data fields are transformed and stored as entities in the subgraph based on the defined schema.

By indexing the data in a structured format, the subgraph enables efficient querying and retrieval of historical data, player statistics, and other pertinent information. The frontend can query the subgraph using GraphQL, a powerful query language, to fetch the required data and present it to the users.

Leveraging a subgraph offers several advantages:

1. Enhanced Performance: Querying data from the subgraph is significantly faster compared to directly querying the blockchain, as the data is indexed and optimized for retrieval.

2. Real-time Updates: The subgraph continuously syncs with the blockchain, ensuring that the data is always up to date. This minimizes latency in fetching the latest game outcomes, player stats, and other real-time information.

3. Scalability: The subgraph can handle large volumes of data and complex queries, making it suitable for dapps with high traffic and extensive data requirements.

4. Flexibility: The subgraph schema can be easily extended or modified to accommodate new data entities or relationships as the dapp evolves, providing flexibility in data modeling and querying.

By employing a subgraph, the Rush Games dapp ensures a reliable and efficient way to secure and access live data from the blockchain. This enhances the overall user experience, enables powerful data-driven features, and facilitates seamless interaction between the frontend and the underlying blockchain data.
