Overview

Goldsky is a high-performance data indexing provider for Sei EVM that makes it easy to extract, transform, and load on-chain data to power both application and analytics use cases. Goldsky offers two primary approaches to indexing and accessing blockchain data: Subgraphs (high-performance subgraphs) and Mirror (real-time data replication pipelines).

​
Getting started

To use Goldsky, you’ll need to create an account, install the CLI, and log in.
  1. Install the Goldsky CLI: For macOS/Linux: 
    curl https://goldsky.com | sh
    For Windows: 
    npm install -g @goldskycom/cli
    Windows users need to have Node.js and npm installed first. Download from nodejs.org if not already installed.
  2. Go to your Project Settings page and create an API key.
  3. Back in your Goldsky CLI, log into your Project by running the command goldsky login and paste your API key.
  4. Now that you are logged in, run goldsky to get started: 
    goldsky

​
Subgraphs

Sei EVM subgraphs can be deployed on Goldsky in 2 ways:
  • Via CLI from a local subgraph configuration file. If you are familiar with developing subgraphs already, you’ll be familiar with this approach; after defining a subgraph locally (with a subgraph.yaml file, a schema.graphql file, and the necessary mappings to translate raw event data into the entities defined in the schema), you can deploy subgraphs to Goldsky (once the Goldsky CLI is installed) using goldsky subgraph deploy <name>/<version> --path . For more, read the step-by-step guide.
  • Via instant subgraphs, where you can pass through a contract address and the ABI for that contract. This is a quick-start option that automatically generates the underlying subgraph configuration files on your behalf, making it easy to extract blockchain event data and serve it as an API endpoint without complex setup. Use the --from-abi flag in the command above instead of --path. For more, read the no-code subgraphs guide.
Sei EVM is currently available on mainnet using the chain slug sei. Unfortunately, due to the nature of Sei’s testnet and devnet, they don’t return a genesis block starting at block number 0, so they cannot be indexed on Goldsky at this time.

​
Mirror

Subgraphs indexed on Sei EVM mainnet by Goldsky can be “mirrored” into another database, as flat files, a Kafka topic, or using SQS. To learn more about mirroring subgraph data into your own infrastructure, visit the dedicated page on subgraph-based Mirror pipelines.
