StreamingFast ⏫(@streamingfastio):From 23 hours to under 8 minutes. That’s how long it took to index Uniswap V4 on Ethereum, subgraph vs Substreams, in a benchmark run by BuildersDAO (@GraphBuilders). 182x faster, on 75 parallel workers. On Base: 94 hours down to 2h 06m. Push to 300 workers and it’s 56 minutes — 100x. We just built the SQL sink straight into the Substreams CLI: one binary, pass a package and the mode is auto-detected. Migrating is painless: cursors and schemas are unchanged, so no re-sync. The Substreams skill for AI coding agents knows the new commands too. Full breakdown + benchmark tables, and thanks to The Graph’s BuildersDAO for running this experiment:
