Abstract
- Canton Network Indexer — three-tier indexing infrastructure for Canton: public network data (Scan API), party-scoped private contracts (Ledger API/PQS), and cross-party aggregation with RBAC - Fills a gap no existing indexer (The Graph, SubQuery) can address due to Canton's sub-transaction privacy model - Working PoC with 24/24 passing tests: party isolation, lifecycle queries, observer access, JWT auth - 16-week roadmap, 3 milestones, 625,000 CC milestone-based funding
Milestones
| Title | Due date | Target | Amount (CC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| MVP (Weeks 1–6) | — | — | — |
| Multi-party + Tier 1 (Weeks 7–10) | — | — | — |
| Aggregation + production (Weeks 11–16) | — | the product gets embedded into the default developer workflow, and early users emerge from teams that were already looking for the solution. The Graph reached 15K+ active subgraphs primarily through embedding into the standard developer toolchain (scaffold-eth, starter kits) and shipping pre-built subgraphs for popular protocols. SubQuery grew by providing ready-to-use indexed datasets for ecosystem projects. Neither relied on outbound marketing as the primary driver. | — |
