Case Study: POAP achieves sub-100ms blockchain query performance with Goldsky

How POAP scaled from hackathon project to Web3 phenomenon

POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol) was facing a critical challenge as its explosive growth threatened to collapse its legacy blockchain data infrastructure. The vendor, Goldsky, was engaged to solve issues of slow query speeds, poor scalability, and a fragile architecture that could not keep up with demand.

Goldsky implemented a custom solution using Goldsky Subgraphs and Goldsky Mirror to transfer data into a high-performance database. This resulted in a dramatic performance improvement, with p90 query response times plummeting to under 100ms, handling over 20 million monthly queries, and achieving 99.99% uptime, allowing POAP to scale effortlessly.
