Big news: the Ponder team has joined the Monad Foundation.
We’re excited to contribute open-source tooling and standards that help applications take full advantage of Monad's performance and decentralization.

Monad is adding support for eth_fillTransaction soon.
Without it, you need separate RPC calls for nonce (eth_getTransactionCount), gas limit (eth_estimateGas), and fee params (eth_gasPrice / eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas). eth_fillTransaction collapses that into one call and returns a fully populated unsigned tx ready to sign externally.
viem already calls eth_fillTransaction when the node supports it, so this is a free speedup for every viem user on Monad.

As I've gotten to know the Monad Foundation and Category Labs teams, I've only grown more impressed by their focus and integrity.
No shortcuts - just consistent execution on a fast and truly decentralized chain.

We're continuing to develop Ponder.
And through contributions at the protocol layer, we have an opportunity to make Ponder better by pushing forward the entire EVM data & indexing landscape.
Huge thanks to the Ponder community for your support as we enter this new chapter!

Today's Ponder release introduces a new indexing mode where each chain runs on a separate worker thread.
The new design offers big benefits across indexing & query performance, and paves the way for better caching, reliability, and DX.

Node.js worker threads are tricky - the CPU overhead of cross-thread messaging often erases any CPU benefit from using multiple threads in the first place.
We worked around these limitations, leading to ~linear speedups with thread count for our fastest projects.

The 0.15 release also improves SQL-over-HTTP live queries, reduces memory usage during cold backfills, and fixes other reliability & correctness bugs.

This release also adds support for offset pagination in the GraphQL API, alongside the existing cursor pagination feature.
Offset pagination makes it easy to build the “jump-to-page” UX common on dashboards & tables.

The perfect end to end Ethereum app is @vercel and @marblexyz.
If you’re doing anything else you’re trying too hard

If you're still using The Graph and want to migrate to Ponder, reach out and we'll help you get started.
Ponder is actively maintained by a world-class team & open-source community, with new releases every week.

Hate to say it, but The Graph feels like an abandoned project.
→ I opened 50 GitHub issues in the past 2 months, most still unanswered
→ Subgraphs keep failing with obscure, impossible-to-debug errors
→ The UX of publishing subgraphs and GRT billing is ... just bad

btw @ponder_sh gud product
nowadays so much faster and flexible to use ponder than to actually set up a full subgraph
today built with it an indexer for token mints then enriches on chain identity with @ethos_network data some other stuff and it was super fast to set up

Ponder now supports WebSockets (eth_subscribe) for new block notifications.
Opt-in to improve realtime indexing latency by ~35% and consume fewer RPC credits.
S/o @opaquefeldspar for the excellent work on this.

By default, Ponder uses HTTP polling with a 1s interval. Reliable, but can become a latency bottleneck.
This benchmark measures (block arrival timestamp - block header timestamp), averaged over 24 hours indexing WETH transfers on these chains.

Released last week in 0.11.16 - let us know what you think!
WebSockets are enabled by default for supported chains on Marble (@marblexyz).
