SQD.ai (Subsquid Network) is a high-performance decentralized on-chain data lakehouse and modular query engine designed for AI-native developers, dApps, and autonomous agents. Founded in 2021 in Zug, …Switzerland, the platform streams structured blockchain data from over 100 blockchains via a network of thousands of worker nodes. The system transforms raw events into institutional-grade datasets accessible through ultra-low-latency APIs and open‑source SDKs. By replacing traditional RPC providers, SQD dramatically lowers data costs—up to 90% savings—while maintaining permissionless access and composability. Initially bootstrapped with financial incentives that attracted over 1,700 validation nodes storing more than 2.4 petabytes of data, it evolved through its Surge and rollout phases to bring commercial users and revenues on‑chain via its Portal interface. In early 2025 SQD launched Tokenomics 2.0, enabling SQD token holders to earn stable rewards by lending tokens to data consumers and aligning value capture with network usage. SQD has partnered with Fetch.ai, integrating real‑time on‑chain data streams into autonomous AI agents that automate DeFi decisions and complex workflows. A strategic partnership with io.net expanded decentralized compute capacity, enhancing indexing and data throughput. In mid‑2025 Heinrich Beteiligungsholding AG rebranded to SQD.AI Strategies AG, acquiring SQD tokens via OTC and public markets, and plans raising up to €50 million in 2025 to hold and stake tokens—an institutional signal underscoring SQD’s pivotal role in the agentic economy. The company also appointed industry veteran Howie Altman as Institutional Strategy lead and advisor David Attermann via M31 Labs to accelerate enterprise adoption. The network now serves hundreds of dApps, supports agent frameworks like ElizaOS, and continues broadening its decentralized footprint. SQD’s vision is to be the “emergent database network” for the AI agent economy—an Airbnb‑style, collectively owned catalog of on‑chain knowledge providing composable context and insight at scale. With key products in live streaming (“hot blocks”), decentralized indexing, open SDKs, and enterprise APIs, it aims to become foundational infrastructure for tokenized assets, ZK proofs, analytics, and automated agents interacting autonomously across chains. Its growth trajectory includes full decentralization of node operations, permissionless Portal access, on‑chain revenue capture, and strategic integrations. SQD focuses on reducing information asymmetry in crypto, empowering developers and agents with richer, real‑time data, while enabling token holders to govern and benefit from its emergent data economy. The platform’s holistic stack, open ethos, and architectural rigor position it as a leading innovation bridging blockchain indexing and AI-driven automation. Read More
