Powering the Future of NFTs: A Case Study on Archway

Introduction

Archway's Ambur Marketplace is setting a new standard for NFT platforms by delivering comprehensive data insights and a smooth user experience. As the premier NFT marketplace on Archway, Ambur showcases essential data for NFT collections, including unique owners, attribute rarity, floor prices, transaction volumes, and detailed transaction histories. To support its rapid growth and evolving feature set, Ambur needed a robust indexing solution to efficiently handle and query vast amounts of on-chain data. SubQuery provided the answer.

The Challenge

Before using SubQuery, the team behind Ambur Marketplace faced significant hurdles in accessing on-chain data efficiently. Manually querying data from the blockchain was complex and time-consuming, slowing down development and impacting user experience. They needed a solution that would allow them to quickly index and query the extensive data required for a dynamic NFT marketplace.

Why SubQuery?

SubQuery offered exactly what Ambur needed: a fast, flexible, and scalable solution to index and query blockchain data. By providing a GraphQL API, SubQuery enabled the Ambur team to seamlessly access the on-chain data needed for their marketplace, significantly accelerating front-end development.

The Role of SubQuery in Ambur Marketplace

With a reliable GraphQL API from SubQuery, the Ambur team could quickly integrate on-chain data, allowing users to explore detailed metrics like accounts, items, collections, listings, offers, transactions, minters, marketplaces, item traits, and contract metadata.

To demonstrate the effectiveness of SubQuery’s integration, the following screenshots from the indexer playground showcase some relevant queries.

Floor Price Tracking: Real-time tracking of floor prices, providing critical information for traders and collectors.

Transaction Volume Analysis: Insights into transaction volumes to gauge market activity and trends.

Querying Unique Owners: A detailed view of unique NFT owners, helping users understand distribution and rarity.

These screenshots illustrate how SubQuery's GraphQL API empowers Ambur Marketplace to efficiently present rich and dynamic data to its users.

The Road Ahead for Ambur Marketplace

Ambur is poised to continue leading the way as the go-to NFT marketplace on Archway, curating high-quality collections from diverse artists and web3 builders. With upcoming features like Offers and Pro Trading views, the marketplace aims to improve the signal/noise ratio for NFT projects. Leveraging SubQuery, Ambur will also introduce enhanced collection analytics and marketplace analytics, empowering users with deeper insights and smarter decision-making tools. The platform will continue to launch new collections, all seamlessly integrated with Archway’s unique protocol reward mechanisms and interoperable via IBC.

Conclusion

By leveraging SubQuery, Archway's Ambur Marketplace overcame its data indexing challenges and accelerated its development timeline. The powerful combination of SubQuery's GraphQL API and Archway's innovative blockchain ecosystem has laid the foundation for a dynamic and scalable NFT marketplace. As Ambur continues to evolve, SubQuery remains a key component in delivering rich data experiences to its users.
