An EVM indexing engine that lets you query chain data with SQL.
### Mini Comparison with TheGraph
It is a great alternative to theGraph [https://thegraph.com/](https://thegraph.com/) if you:
- have a server + relational database setup
- need to manually create side effects for events
- are NOT indexing hundreds of contracts
- don't want to deal with an additional external system
- have written your DApp in RUST (Other Languages soon to come!)
### Examples
[https://github.com/chaindexing/chaindexing-examples/tree/main/rust](https://github.com/chaindexing/chaindexing-examples/tree/main/rust) contains examples that can be quickly tested and replicated. While the actual documentation is being worked on, feel free to use them as templates and open issues if they don't work correctly.
