Phala Network on SQD

Validated at ingestion

Phala Network data is validated by SQD Network workers before it reaches the Portal. Validation is performed across the network rather than by a single ingestion node, so a faulty upstream source can't poison the dataset.

Decoded, schema-typed

Phala Network data served as decoded, schema-typed tables, ready to query. Your indexer queries the data directly without writing SCALE parsers.

Full historical archive

SQD's Phala Network archive covers historical state in one endpoint. Real-time on the roadmap.

Open-source SDK

Both the Squid SDK and the Pipes SDK are open-source. Connectors for Postgres, ClickHouse, MongoDB, SQLite and Parquet, plus a custom-target hook. Run your Phala Network indexer on your own infrastructure or on SQD Cloud.

Build with Phala Network data

Frequently asked questions

How does SQD compare to running a Phala Network RPC node?
A Phala Network RPC node serves raw bytes for recent state and rate-limits per request. SQD's Portal pre-indexes the full Phala Network archive into decoded, schema-typed tables (blocks, transactions, logs) and serves them as a single streaming endpoint. You skip the multi-day node sync, archive storage, monitoring, and scale-out work, and pay only for the data you stream.
What does SQD cost for Phala Network data?
The public Portal endpoint at portal.sqd.dev/datasets/phala is free for development with no API key. Production workloads run on the SQD Portal with tiered pricing based on the network and request volume. See the pricing page for current tiers, or contact us for an enterprise quote.
How is SQD's Phala Network data different from Subscan?
Block explorers are read-optimized for human browsing of single blocks or addresses. SQD is built for programmatic indexing: stream millions of Phala Network blocks into your own database, run analytical queries across the full history, and back production applications with decoded data. Output is structured tables, not HTML pages, and there are no per-call rate limits geared toward UI traffic. If you wanted to build your own Phala Network explorer, the SQD Portal is what you would back it with.
Can I self-host SQD's Phala Network indexer?
Yes. Both the Squid SDK and the Pipes SDK are open-source. You can run a Phala Network indexer on your own infrastructure pointing at the SQD Network or the Portal. SQD Cloud also offers managed hosting if you'd rather not operate it yourself.
Can I export Phala Network data to a data warehouse or pipeline?
Yes. The Pipes SDK streams Phala Network data from the Portal into Postgres, ClickHouse, MongoDB, SQLite, Parquet, or a custom target you implement. See the SDK docs for the connector reference.
Does SQD validate Phala Network data?
Every Phala Network block ingested into SQD is validated by the SQD Network workers (hash chain, parent reference, and where applicable finality) before it reaches the Portal. Validation is performed across the network, not by a single ingestion process, so a faulty upstream node can't poison the dataset.
Does SQD support real-time Phala Network data?
Phala Network historical data is available through the Portal archive. Real-time streaming for Phala Network is on the roadmap, contact us to flag your use case for prioritization.
