One thing I learned about: On-chain data indexing.
DApps require real-time on-chain data (e.g. DeFi, Games, Analytics).
But, blockchain data is hard to search and query:
- Immutable, linear, append-only
- The Ethereum Archive node is 12TB+
- Running nodes is a job
Indexers restructure and serve the data in a queriable format.
