Off Chain

Transitioning from our foundational on-chain architecture, we acknowledges the potential inconvenience of directly querying blockchain events due to the inherent complexity and volume. To address this, we are currently in the process of building our custom indexers called 'docks'. Docks act as off-chain indexers, designed to ingest all on-chain events and process them into an easily queryable format within a relational database. This process involves a filtration stage where invalid events—such as reactions to non-existent posts—are systematically identified and eliminated.

The transformation of raw blockchain events into a structured database format allows for seamless data retrieval directly on the user's client. This off-chain data handling mechanism not only significantly enhances user experience by enabling customisable feeds and facilitating advanced features like recommendation algorithms but also introduces an unprecedented level of flexibility in data interaction.

Docks are meant to be operated by developers aiming to create a Kade client, decentralising the network's infrastructure further and fostering an ecosystem where developers have the tools to innovate and customise user experiences.
