The Challenge SORA Faced
SORA was looking at better functionality to their client applications when they stumbled upon OnFinality, and instantly recognised OnFinality’s comprehensive suite of services as the solution to their features requests.
SORA wanted to provide an advanced search feature for their internal team as well as their community to search for specific information on the blockchain.
They were also looking for a third-party solution that would be able to help them handle large spikes in traffic as their network continued to scale.
How OnFinality Helped SORA
The onboarding to OnFinalty was easy and tailored to SORA’s specific requirements, allowing the SORA team to get started on OnFinality in a matter of clicks.
“The onboarding was very quick. Of course, we had some specific cases from the beginning and explicitly indicated those as features requests straight away, but eventually all those were fulfilled blazingly fast.”
— William Richter, Head of Ecosystem, SORA
OnFinality provided access to full archive nodes for SORA to query the entire history of the network, making it a breeze for SORA and their community to search for specific information on the blockchain.
Run full-time by experts in indexing, OnFinality was able to ensure the index is always up to date and accurate.
“OnFinality is literally the only infrastructure solution for obtaining historical on-chain information for our client applications, providing us all the insight we need into our blockchain to make important decisions.”
— William Richter, Head of Ecosystem, SORA
Moreover, as a third-party provider, OnFinality is designed to handle large volumes of data, making it the ideal option for SORA to scale beyond its millions of users with a peace of mind.
The Results
OnFinality’s easy, reliable and scalable infrastructure services helps increase blockchain availability for SORA and provides comprehensive analytics for the team to make mission-critical decisions. This has allowed SORA to save time and money while scaling faster than ever.
“Finally API service is significantly lowering the entrance barrier for developers. As not only the user community is growing every day, but also the developer one, we are planning to rely on OnFinality’s services to enable much faster development on our blockchain.”
— William Richter, Head of Ecosystem, SORA
