Messari April 2024 Update

:woman_astronaut: Summary

Data Share Service Theme -

The Messari team is dedicatedly crafting and advancing the Data Share Service project, focusing on developing a cutting-edge platform that provides enterprise-grade on-chain data. This initiative is aimed at enhancing data-driven decisions in the cryptocurrency space for institutional and advanced retail users.

Our goal is to create a comprehensive platform that addresses all data requirements necessary for assessing the fundamentals of a crypto project. This analytical objective is critical not only for consumers like Messari but for anyone seeking to make well-informed decisions in the crypto market.

We are collaborating closely with engineers from Pinax to integrate Firehose as a reusable and modular component within the new Data Share Service, providing baseline raw on-chain data. Additionally, we are working with the team at Edge&Node to determine on using Data Fusion as the possible optimal data computation solutions that will support our needs for data decoding and model transformation.

Subgraphs Theme -

After developing nearly 100 protocols comprising over 230 subgraphs, we initiated our first extensive subgraph maintenance cycle. The product and engineering teams at Messari conducted thorough reviews of all completed subgraph projects, identifying a prioritized list of maintenance tasks to be undertaken. As part of this process, we evaluated our support structure and have now appointed a dedicated product manager to monitor, communicate, and prioritize requests from the community.

As we tackle these high-priority maintenance tasks, we are also in the process of establishing the next set of priorities for subgraph development.
