Cover Image Envio Developer Community Update September 2025

Welcome to our September Developer Update.

This month, we shipped major new features in v2.28.0 and v2.29.0, introduced Block Handlers and the new _meta query, and rolled out significant performance improvements that make indexing even faster and more efficient. We were on the ground at Pragma, ETHGlobal New Delhi, and Sonic Summit in Singapore, explored how AI is shaping blockchain data, and showcased Envio’s indexing support for MegaETH along with how we power tools like Liqo, a liquidations leaderboard.

We also kicked off new hackathons with MetaMask and Monad and confirmed our partnership for Encode London next month. Let’s dive in!

⚡ Big Releases: v2.28.0 → v2.29.0​

V2.28.0​

For a visual walkthrough, check out our Shipper Log v2.28.0 on YouTube.

Official _meta query​

HyperIndex now exposes an official _meta query that returns indexing metadata per chain, making it simple to monitor progress and track sync status.

2× faster and cheaper historical sync​

Block range selection for log queries has been improved, cutting the number of required requests for some RPC providers in half, making historical sync up to 2x faster. HyperSync responses are now smaller, faster, and simpler, reducing ingress costs while improving performance.

Big performance boost for large factories​

Indexers handling large numbers of addresses now sync significantly faster. In testing, an indexer with over 2 million addresses synced in about two days instead of four.

Subgraph migration Cursor rules cheatsheet​

A new Cursor rule example in our repo helps you quickly migrate existing Subgraphs to HyperIndex.

⚠️Potential breaking change​

We’ve refactored internal tables to focus on a single public entry point: _meta. Internal tables such as chain_metadata, event_sync_state, persisted_state, end_of_block_range_scanned_data, and dynamic_contract_registry are now hidden from Hasura, and their internal representations have changed.

If this impacts your setup, reach out, and we’ll help you migrate smoothly.

🆕Block Handlers​

You can now run logic on every block or at defined intervals, unlocking new use cases like aggregations, time-series data, and bulk updates using raw SQL.

Example:

import { onBlock } from "generated";

onBlock(
  {
    name: "MyBlockHandler",
    chain: 1,
    interval: 10,
    startBlock: 10_000_000,
  },
  async ({ block, context }) => {
    context.log.info(`Processing block ${block.number}`);
  }
);

Read our docs to learn more about block handlers and the powerful use cases they enable, like:

  • Time intervals
  • Preset handlers
  • Multichain mode
  • Different intervals for historical vs. real-time sync

Be sure to check out our Example Indexer to see Block Handlers combined with Preload Optimization, Effect API queries, and Traces indexing to track all contracts deployed on Mainnet.

Liqo Brings Real-Time Liquidation Insights Across Major DeFi Protocols​

liqo

Track major real-time liquidations in style with Liqo, a powerful liquidation leaderboard tool powered by Envio. The new leaderboard gives you a clear view of the most active liquidators across top protocols like Aave, Morpho, and Euler, with support for Twyne coming soon.

It makes exploring liquidation activity across multiple chains and protocols easier than ever, all from one place.

Shoutout to Saurav for their contributions to the sleek UI upgrade.

MetaMask Smart Accounts Hackathon with Monad and Envio​

metamask hackathon

The MetaMask Smart Accounts Hackathon, in collaboration with Monad and Envio, is now live and will run from September 19 to October 20. Builders are invited to create next-level applications on Monad with a focus on account abstraction and user experience.

Envio is putting up $5,000 for builders:

• $2,000 for Best Use of Envio

• $3,000 in bonuses

In total, $15,000 in prizes are up for grabs.

More details on Hackquest.

Envio at Pragma and ETHGlobal New Delhi​

ethglobal new dehli

The team was in New Delhi for Pragma and ETHGlobal, spending the week with builders, founders, and partners across the ecosystem. Every dapp relies on indexing, but most existing solutions are slow, siloed, and unreliable.

We shared how HyperIndex and HyperSync change that, bringing high performance, multi-chain infrastructure that scales with the modular ecosystem. The result is faster dapps, richer analytics, and a reliable data backbone developers can build on with confidence.

Big thanks to ETHGlobal, the organisers, partners, and everyone who stopped by to chat with us in New Delhi.

Envio Supports MegaETH Builders with Lightning-Fast On-Chain Data Access​

megaeth support

100k+ TPS, 10+ ggas p/s & <10ms blocks? Envio is built for it. Our indexing framework supports developers building on MegaETH with efficient access to both real-time and historical data.

With Envio, you can sync millions of events up to 2000x faster than RPC, making data access easy, fast, and fully customizable even at massive scale. Our performance and mainnet readiness make Envio the ideal choice for builders looking to ship real-time and performant applications on MegaETH.

The State of AI in Blockchain Data: Neon x Envio​

neonevm ama

Blockchain generates endless streams of data, and powerful indexers like Envio make it usable. But what happens when AI steps into the picture?

We joined Neon and Subsquid for a live panel to dig into how AI is reshaping the way data is accessed, organized, and understood in Web3. The conversation explored how intelligence layers can boost indexing workflows, change how developers build with on-chain data, and what the future looks like as AI becomes part of the core data stack.

Join Envio at Encode London This October​

encode london 2025

We’re excited to be partners at the Encode London Hackathon and Conference, taking place from 24–26 October at the Encode Hub in Shoreditch, London. This three-day event brings together builders, researchers, and industry leaders for hands-on hacking, talks, and workshops focused on AI and Web3. Our team will be on the ground all weekend supporting builders, so keep an eye out for us throughout the event.

Plus, we’ll be hosting a speaking slot and putting up a couple of bounties with prizes, more details coming soon!

Developer Workshop Series: Exploring Aave with Envio​

We’ve kicked off a 16-part developer workshop series, starting with a session focused on exploring Aave data using Envio. The series is designed to help developers get hands-on with real on-chain data, showing how to query, index, and build with Aave using Envio.

More workshops are on the way, so be sure to subscribe this YouTube channel

to follow along and catch every session.
