What is Argos?
Argos offers scalable access to indexed transaction data and account history on Solana.
As on-chain data continues to grow, reading live data becomes challenging, and accessing historical account states is nearly impossible. Argos addresses this by leveraging market dynamics to identify essential data to index and utilizing DePIN to manage the load efficiently.
Argos is composed of 4 main blocks
- Our open-source indexer
- A permissionless marketplace for transaction snapshots and account history
- Our on-demand transaction replayer using our cloud infrastructure to create account history from transaction snapshots
- Our archive pool allowing anyone to join, index hot data, and get rewarded
Argos makes it easier to build on Solana
Using the indexer, newcomers will get the best infrastructure to scale their front end without the hassle of owning their own RPC node.
The Argos marketplace will offer any project a new monetization channel by making their on-chain public data available.
