IPFS and NFT Metadata: Content Identity, Pinning and Retrieval
Use content-addressed metadata without confusing an identifiable object with guaranteed storage, trusted content or a complete NFT ownership record.
Read the guideAvoiding Double Counts in Blockchain SQL Joins
Join transactions, transfers and prices without multiplying rows, and verify aggregation grain before trusting wallet or market totals.
Read the guideWindow Functions for Blockchain Activity Analysis
Use SQL window functions for running totals and ordered comparisons while preserving event grain, exact quantities and deterministic ordering.
Read the guideGraphQL Cursor Pagination for Blockchain Records
Design GraphQL connections with stable cursors, deterministic event ordering and explicit range context so clients can resume a blockchain scan.
Read the guideParquet vs JSON for Blockchain Data Exports
Choose columnar or record-oriented exports based on query patterns, schema needs and exact quantity handling rather than file extension alone.
Read the guidePartitioning Blockchain Tables by Network and Range
Choose table partitions around query and retention boundaries, while keeping stable event keys and avoiding assumptions that partitions enforce completeness.
Read the guideDurable Checkpoints for Incremental Blockchain Scans
Checkpoint accepted ranges only after durable processing, and use restart tests to prevent skipped pages or duplicate effects in incremental scans.
Read the guideBackpressure in Real-Time Blockchain Data Consumers
Bound queues and consumer concurrency when event arrival exceeds processing capacity, while preserving durable progress and explicit overload behaviour.
Read the guideThe editorial approach
Useful questions.
Traceable explanations.
Each guide starts with a concrete developer question and separates technical observations from the interpretation an application adds. Worked examples use illustrative values; references point to standards and technical documentation.
