Overview:
SQD is a decentralized Web3 data access and indexing protocol designed to provide efficient, low-cost blockchain data solutions for DeFi, gaming, AI, and other Web3 applications. Through a decentralized data lake and open-source tools, SQD enables fast data extraction and processing from over 200 blockchain networks, reducing indexing costs by up to 90%.

Core Features

Decentralized Data Network
Supports 150+ blockchain networks (e.g., EVM, Solana, Tron), providing historical on-chain data like event logs and transaction receipts.

Offers fast, reliable data access via a decentralized data lake, eliminating reliance on traditional RPC nodes.

Low-cost data extraction, with fees as low as $1-5 per TB after mainnet launch.

Squid SDK
Open-source TypeScript toolkit for high-performance batch indexing.

Enables developers to extract, decode, transform, and store data in target databases (e.g., Postgres, S3), with optional GraphQL API deployment.

SQD Cloud
Managed service simplifying indexer development, deployment, and monitoring.

Offers free trial environments and pay-as-you-go pricing, reducing infrastructure maintenance costs.

SQD Firehose & ApeWorx Plugin
Lightweight adapter for running subgraphs on the SQD network, compatible with the ApeWorx framework.

Tokenomics ($SQD)
Function: $SQD tokens are used to pay for data access, incentivizing node operators and delegators.

Model: Deflationary model where protocol revenue reduces token supply; holders can earn stable rewards by lending tokens.

Trading: Available on Base/Aerodrome, enhancing liquidity and accessibility.

Technical Advantages
Up to 100x faster data indexing with guaranteed consistency and reliability.

Supports lightweight indexers and SQL queries, suitable for small networks and large-scale dApps.

Plans to integrate ZK or TEE verification for trusted historical and real-time data.

用例
Powers DeFi, AI platforms, metaverses, and other Web3 applications with complex data pipelines.

Enables AI agents to access structured data quickly via the SQD data lake, optimizing performance.。

里程碑
Initially focused on Substrate ecosystem indexing, later expanded to EVM and Solana.

Mainnet launched on Arbitrum, with over 17,000 developers deploying 60,000+ indexers.

Secured multi-million-dollar funding in 2025 from Apeiron Investment Group and others to accelerate AI agent market growth.

Future Plans
Enable petabyte-scale self-hosted Web3 data access, supporting real-time and non-finalized block data.

Launch Tokenomics 2.0 to align token issuance with network adoption.

Enhance decentralized API performance with AVS and lightweight database tech (e.g., SQLite).

概括：
SQD provides a decentralized, cost-efficient blockchain data solution for Web3 developers through its data network and open-source tools. Its modular design and AI agent support position it as a leader in the growing AI and Web3 markets, aiming to be the go-to network for AI-driven data interactions.
