Paving the road to Data 3.0 one index at a time

If you read content online you’ve probably at least heard of publishing services like Medium and Substack. These are centralized, web2 companies that make money with views; subscriptions, ads, etc. Thankfully, as we transition into the web3 space we are already seeing some promising alternatives. The largest of these web3 publishers is Mirror. The beauty of protocols like Mirror is that they don’t own any of the data. They still have a login, a clean text editor, and shareable links just like...
The Indexing CompanyDevcon VI and the State of EVM Data
By all measures, Devcon VI was a huge success. Over 6000 participants from around the world met in Bogota, Colombia to build, network, and celebrate together in the official Ethereum conference. This is coming about a month after The Merge in which Ethereum switched from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS). That transition worked far better than any could have hoped and has lead to ETH even being deflationary at times 🔥https://ultrasound.money/So what’s next for Ethereum and its ecos...
The Indexing CompanyAccessing Data 3.0: Indexing 101
This is an entry in our long running series, “Accessing Data 3.0”, where we talk about the “whats” and the “hows” of working with data in web3. Enjoy! Remember libraries? The walls of books and the fearless librarians somehow always knowing exactly where everything is. Well, two things: 1) libraries still exist, 2) those libraries are each indexed. Librarians around the world categorize all of the books under their purview into what are known as a “library catalogs”. These catalogs serve as a...

Hot of the presses - we’re happy to present the latest free service from The Indexing Company, Mirror Mirror 🎊
In short, this is a search engine for Mirror.xyz. For those that don’t know, Mirror is a web3 publishing platform akin to Medium in the web2 world. Unlike Medium though, Mirror is merely an interface to help writers put their content out into Data 3.0. That is, everything written on Mirror is ultimately stored on Arweave.
(For those curious, we spoke in more depth on Data 3.0 storage options like Arweave here)
This intentional decentralization of data has important implications:
Writers own their own data - only they can add, modify, and sign their data
Mirror does not control the data - theoretically someone else could come along and build a competitor to Mirror, leveraging the exact same underlying data source
All of the posts from Mirror are publicly available, forever thanks to Arweave
And we at Indexing Co have been able to leverage the 3rd point there to successfully index every Mirror post written - i.e. creating a “mirror” of Mirror if you will 😎 And now that we’ve got a running index of posts (here’s the skinny on how that’s done), we can expose them via an API and ultimately create the simple UI that you see today.
