Overview: Goldsky Indexers
Goldsky is a high-performance blockchain data indexing platform that empowers developers to access real-time smart contract data from the XRPL EVM without the need to build and maintain complex infrastructure. With support for GraphQL queries, developer-friendly tooling, and robust indexing capabilities, Goldsky enables rapid development of responsive frontends, analytics dashboards, and alerting systems.
What is an Indexer?
An indexer is a service that continuously monitors and processes blockchain events and state changes from smart contracts. It structures this data into a searchable format, making it available to frontends and backends through a query interface like GraphQL.
Goldsky does all of this automatically — ingesting events, decoding logs, and exposing structured data without requiring you to manage your own data pipelines, RPC nodes, or custom infrastructure.
