EDITED
We may need professional access to Etherscan to query on-chain data that isn’t indexed in The Graph.
There are also going to be some use cases where we want to query data on-chain without relying on/creating a dependency on the Graph.
Is it work it to do $300 a month (so $3600 a year) versus basic plan going to do any work for us? https://etherscan.io/apis
Future
We will also want the ability to query other chains:
- xDAI: https://blockscout.com/xdai/mainnet/graphiql
- Arbitrum: https://explorer.offchainlabs.com/ (may want to look at alternates)
Eventually we could consider other blockchains (Solana, Wax, whatever Axie runs on…). We aren’t ready for that…but could be interesting.
