Subsquid Labs GmbH requests funding to cover maintenance costs for its public Subsquid Archives and the Giant Squid API. These services provide crucial infrastructure for the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems by offering access to on-chain data in GraphQL format for numerous parachains. Subsquid Archives serve as a data source for various projects, including wallets, explorers, and dApps, enabling efficient data exploration and query execution.
