Hemera Builder's Program is Out Now!

October 31, 2024|
4.9 billion data points. 378 million unique addresses and developers are struggling to make sense of it all. The blockchain data landscape is massive and messy - but what if there was a way to instantly understand any user's complete web3 journey?

The Challenge: Making Sense of Web3 User Activity

As the web3 ecosystem expands, users interact with multiple chains, protocols, and dApps daily. Each interaction leaves a trace, but traditional indexing methods treat these traces as isolated events rather than part of a user's cohesive journey.

Hemera: Your Account-Centric Indexer

Hemera transforms how developers access and understand on-chain user activity. Through our Account-Centric Indexing, we convert complex blockchain data into meaningful user insights – from trading patterns to social interactions – all accessible through simple, customizable User-Defined Functions (UDFs).
Think of UDFs as your personal data extractors running alongside our indexer network. Write a simple script, deploy it, and voilà – you've got clean, organized user data ready for your application.

Announcing the UDF Builders Program

Today, we're launching our Builders Program to support developers in creating these powerful data extractors. Whether you're building a DeFi dashboard, a social platform, or any web3 application, we're here to support you with:
  • Developer Grants
  • Technical Mentorship
  • Ecosystem Support
No more complex data computations. No more scattered insights. Just clean, meaningful user data ready for your next big idea.
