Hemi and SQD are laying the foundation to support the next generation of data-rich Bitcoin-enabled DeFi applications.

Hemi is teaming up with SQD to leverage a decentralized data infrastructure for cost-efficient onchain data access. That means faster indexing, cleaner data flows, and fewer bottlenecks for Hemi developers.

SQD is a decentralized data access layer that eliminates the need to rely on RPC nodes for querying blockchain data. It features a decentralized data lake with over 2,800 worker nodes, a robust query engine, and an SDK designed to give developers permissionless access to blockchain data across a growing list of over 200 networks, including EVM chains, Substrate-based ecosystems, as well as networks such as Solana, Tron, and Fuel.

With this integration, as Hemi’s onchain data reflects a range of Bitcoin-aware and Ethereum-aware events, SQD reduces the barriers to accessing it efficiently for Hemi dApps. Developers building on Hemi with SQD can use it to index raw data and build custom pipelines tailored to specific dApp needs. SQD also supports crosschain indexing, allowing builders to freely fetch data from multiple chains via a single indexer, thereby streamlining crosschain development without compromising decentralization or performance.

Together, Hemi and SQD are delivering a composable data architecture to developers, lowering the barrier for robust analytics, user dashboards, wider protocol integrations, and more.
