How SatLayer Uses OnFinality Indexing

OnFinality Indexing powers SatLayer with fast data, stable uptime, and accurate rewards on Babylon Genesis.

How SatLayer Uses OnFinality Indexing

SatLayer is building the economic layer for Bitcoin, enabling the world’s most trusted asset to become programmable collateral. Through Cube by SatLayer, its Liquid Staking Token product on Babylon Genesis, SatLayer is extending Bitcoin’s capital efficiency across new financial primitives and incentive systems.

To support Cube and its season-based rewards program, SatLayer requires accurate, real-time blockchain data that can scale with user activity. This is where OnFinality Indexing plays a critical role.

OnFinality delivers Babylon Genesis indexing using SubQuery as the underlying indexing platform, while managing and operating custom subgraphs on top of SubQuery for SatLayer. This setup ensures that rewards data remains reliable, transparent, and production ready as Cube adoption grows.

“OnFinality’s indexing has been a critical part of how we ship and iterate at Satlayer. Fast query responses, consistent uptime, and reliable data access have made it easier for our team to build and scale without worrying about infra bottlenecks”

The Challenge: Indexing Babylon Genesis Data for Rewards

SatLayer’s rewards ecosystem depends on tracking and processing transactional activity on Babylon Genesis. This data powers the SatLayer rewards program, where users earn Sats² points across multiple seasons based on participation and behaviour.

The team faced several challenges:

  • Indexing high-volume transaction data on Babylon Genesis
  • Supporting both historical and real-time indexing for multiple reward seasons
  • Ensuring accurate points calculation and transparent user reporting
  • Operating within a Cosmos blockchain indexing environment, where production-grade tooling can be limited

Without a robust indexing layer, rewards distribution becomes difficult to scale, error-prone, and costly to maintain.

Why SatLayer Chose OnFinality Indexing Built on SubQuery

SatLayer partnered with OnFinality to run a managed indexing stack that combines SubQuery indexing with OnFinality’s operational expertise.

In this architecture:

  • SubQuery provides the core indexing and querying framework
  • OnFinality Indexing manages the infrastructure, deployments, schema updates, and performance tuning
  • Managed subgraphs are customized specifically for Cube by SatLayer and its evolving rewards logic

This approach allows SatLayer to focus on protocol development while OnFinality handles the complexity of indexing, uptime, and data reliability.

Key benefits include:

  • Managed subgraphs optimized for Cube by SatLayer rewards and LST activity
  • Reliable Babylon Genesis indexing for rewards and analytics
  • Flexible schemas that evolve across seasons
  • Fast query performance for user-facing dashboards
  • Dedicated support for Cosmos blockchain indexing workflows

How OnFinality Indexing Works for SatLayer

What data is indexed

OnFinality indexes transactional and protocol-level activity on Babylon Genesis related to Cube by SatLayer. This includes the events and state changes required to compute Sats² points accurately.

Managed subgraphs on SubQuery

Using SubQuery indexing as the foundation, OnFinality operates managed subgraphs that are purpose-built for SatLayer’s rewards logic. OnFinality handles deployments, schema evolution, indexing performance, and data integrity checks.

Rewards calculation and dashboard delivery

Indexed data flows into SatLayer’s internal rewards engine, which evaluates user activity across seasons. The processed results are displayed in the Cube dashboard, enabling:

  • Real-time points tracking
  • Transparent reward attribution
  • A consistent and trustworthy user experience

This architecture ensures that Babylon Genesis indexing remains accurate even as usage scales.

Reliability and Service Quality from OnFinality

For a rewards-driven product, indexing reliability is essential. Missing transactions or delayed queries can directly impact user trust.

By managing the indexing layer end to end, OnFinality Indexing provides:

  • Stable operations across multiple reward seasons
  • Smooth schema updates as requirements evolve
  • Consistent query performance for user-facing dashboards
  • Responsive, builder-focused support

OnFinality’s service quality ensures that SatLayer’s rewards infrastructure remains accurate, transparent, and dependable at scale.

Onfinality’s stats:
Query uptime percentage: 99.98% (supporting always-on dashboards)
Cube LST latency: 0.1645895s
SatLayer latency: 0.07307125s

The Road Ahead for SatLayer

SatLayer continues to expand as the economic layer for Bitcoin, unlocking new use cases for Bitcoin programmable collateral. As Cube grows and new incentive mechanisms are introduced, dependable indexing will remain foundational.

With OnFinality Indexing managing SubQuery-based subgraphs on Babylon Genesis, SatLayer can scale rewards, analytics, and integrations without diverting focus from core protocol innovation.

Conclusion: Production-Grade Indexing for Babylon Genesis

By combining SubQuery indexing with OnFinality’s managed subgraphs and operational expertise, SatLayer has built a scalable data foundation for its rewards ecosystem.

This setup enables:

  • Accurate rewards calculation across seasons
  • Real-time visibility for Cube by SatLayer users
  • Lower operational overhead for the core team

In Cosmos environments like Babylon Genesis, reliable indexing is not just backend infrastructure. It is a critical layer for trust, transparency, and long-term growth.
