Web3 Infrastructure Oracles, Indexing, Storage & RPCs
The essential backbone that powers real apps: data feeds, verifiable indexing, decentralized storage, and reliable node access.
⏱ — min read
🧱 Foundations
🧩 Composable Patterns
1) Oracles (Chainlink, Pyth)
Data FeedsPrice feeds, VRF randomness, automation/keepers, and cross-chain messaging, plus the risk controls that matter.
2) Indexing & Querying (The Graph)
SubgraphsSubgraphs, mappings, GraphQL queries, and the decentralized network roles (indexers, curators, delegators).
3) Storage (IPFS, Arweave, Filecoin)
Content AddressingContent addressing with CIDs, permanence models, pinning/gateways, and safe NFT metadata practices.
4) RPCs & Nodes
AccessNode types, JSON-RPC tips, multi-provider reliability, private tx paths, and production monitoring.
Further Learning
References- Oracles: bounds/TWAPs, staleness checks, circuit breakers
- Indexing: historical snapshots, reorg handling, matchstick tests
- Storage: content-addressed URIs, pinning SLAs, integrity hashes
- RPCs: quorum reads, health checks, private orderflow
