The Graph Integrates Swell Network to Enable Powerful Onchain Data Queries for Builders

The decentralized web is evolving rapidly, and developer tooling is racing to keep pace. One of the biggest roadblocks for Web3 builders has always been accessing reliable, fast, and customizable blockchain data. Whether you’re working on a DeFi protocol, governance coordination, or an AI-driven dApp, structured and efficient data querying is non-negotiable.

Enter Subgraph Studio, a powerful gateway for developers to access blockchain data. The Graph has now expanded its capabilities by integrating with Swell Network, making it easier than ever to build decentralized applications that rely on precise, real-time data. This collaboration opens doors to innovative tooling that serves not just DeFi, but a whole new generation of dApps powered by machine learning, social coordination, and onchain logic.

What Is Subgraph Studio and Why Does It Matter?

Subgraph Studio is a tool developed by The Graph that allows developers to create, test, and deploy subgraphs, open APIs that index and query blockchain data. By turning blockchain data into a structured, queryable format, it makes onchain development smoother and significantly faster. The Studio provides a UI to manage subgraphs and enables creators to define which smart contract events and entities should be indexed. 

Once live, a subgraph can power frontend applications, AI agents, or backend systems, reducing infrastructure complexity and making Web3 apps more accessible to build. With the addition of Swell Network, developers building liquid staking or restaking infrastructure, Swell’s core vertical, now get full support to manage and access their protocol data in near real time.

Why Is Swell Network’s Integration So Valuable?

The Swell Network is a fast-growing liquid staking protocol that helps users stake ETH while maintaining liquidity through restaked assets. This unique infrastructure creates a complex flow of onchain data, from validator registration to restaking yields, governance mechanisms, and user interactions. Before this integration, accessing Swell’s rich onchain data required custom scripts or heavy backend infrastructure. With Subgraph Studio support, developers now get:

• Structured access to Swell smart contracts
• Real-time indexing of events like staking, withdrawals, rewards
• Seamless frontend integration using GraphQL

This means less time on infrastructure and more time building actual product features.

How Can Developers Benefit from This Integration?

Subgraph Studio makes Swell’s data accessible through simple GraphQL queries. Builders can now focus on user experience, logic, and functionality, rather than worrying about the backend legwork. Here’s how this impacts developers directly:

• Faster development cycles: Query staking or reward data without deploying custom nodes
• AI-ready infrastructure: Easily feed structured onchain data into AI agents or ML models
• Custom analytics: Build dashboards, alerts, and admin panels for Swell-based dApps
• Decentralized coordination: Empower DAOs and governance tooling by indexing vote events and proposals

For anyone building on Swell, this is a massive productivity unlock.

What Does This Mean for the Future of Onchain dApps?

The combination of Swell Network and Subgraph Studio signals a major shift in how developers interact with blockchain data. The move toward open, composable APIs marks a step away from siloed data scraping and toward scalable infrastructure design. It also brings AI-driven dApps closer to reality. With easily queryable onchain data, it’s now possible to design applications that react to blockchain events in real time, like restake-triggered bots, governance AI agents, or personal staking dashboards. As Web3 matures, tools like Subgraph Studio will form the backbone of smarter, faster, and more user-centric applications. Swell’s integration is not just a milestone for The Graph, but a leap forward for every developer working in this space.
