The Graph Introduces Amp: A Revolutionary Blockchain-Native Database

The Graph’s core development team, Edge & Node, has unveiled Amp, a pioneering blockchain-native database designed to transform the way financial institutions, banks, and fintech companies handle smart contract data. Amp promises trusted, verifiable, and efficient access to blockchain data, facilitating rapid innovation with confidence, according to The Graph.

Introducing Amp: A New Era in Data Management

Amp is engineered to meet the demands of modern financial systems moving towards digital assets and blockchain technology. Traditional databases often struggle with the complexity and speed required by blockchain networks, lacking in verification and interoperability. Amp addresses these challenges by offering a database that is not only fast and efficient but also verifiable and audit-ready.

Utilizing SQL, a familiar data language, Amp unifies data across various blockchains, allowing institutions to analyze, audit, and act on blockchain activity in real-time. It boasts impressive performance metrics, including speeds 5.9 times faster than BigQuery’s public datasets and 2.3 times better storage performance than traditional full node databases.

Designed for Enterprise and Real-World Impact

Amp is built for enterprise-grade applications with SOC 2-aligned architecture, ensuring security and trust. It offers flexible deployment options, from cloud to on-premises, and integrates seamlessly with popular tools like Power BI, Snowflake, and Datadog. This adaptability makes Amp suitable for varied environments, enhancing its appeal to financial institutions looking to scale confidently.

Moreover, Amp’s design supports unified APIs such as REST, GraphQL, and SQL, catering to both streaming and batch workloads. This versatility allows organizations to leverage Amp for a wide range of applications, from cross-chain visibility and corridor analytics to risk and treasury oversight.

Revolutionizing Blockchain Data Infrastructure

Amp sets a new standard for blockchain data infrastructure by replacing outdated pipelines with a high-speed, verifiable data foundation. In benchmark tests, Amp significantly outperformed traditional systems, offering 100 times better data freshness and over 4,300 times improved backfill performance. This ensures that institutions can innovate without the bottlenecks that typically slow down blockchain adoption.

A Future-Proof Solution for Digital Asset Markets

As the financial markets evolve towards regulated digital assets, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets, Amp is positioned to provide the necessary trust and auditability. Its future-proof architecture supports the agentic economy, where AI agents and smart contracts rely heavily on verified onchain data. Amp bridges the gap between blockchain reliability and enterprise governance, ensuring institutions can operate seamlessly in the digital asset landscape.

The Graph, known for its powerful indexing and query protocol, continues to lead the way in making blockchain data accessible and usable at an enterprise scale. With Amp, The Graph aims to redefine financial data infrastructure, offering a robust foundation for the future of decentralized finance.
