Superchain Network, which also brands itself as the “Open Index Protocol," is a decentralized indexer. The platform organizes on-chain data and allows decentralized application (dapp) developers and users to access the data in seconds.
According to Superchain, applications will need a way to interpret and make use of information as demand for block space continues to grow.
“We believe in unconstrained ownership: no centralized entity should be involved in the relationship between humans and data,” said Maxim Legg, co-founder and chief technology officer at Superchain Network. “With Superchain there is no need to delegate custody or trust to centralized aggregators for access to decentralized data.”
Superchain joins other data indexing protocols such as The Graph and Moralis, who both raised eight-figure rounds last year.
“Incumbents in the indexer space are trying to decentralize Web2 APIs,” said James Corbett, co-founder and CEO at Superchain Network. “Superchain takes a fundamentally different approach. Our data is open and ownable by our users, unlocking use cases that are not possible with GraphQL.”
Superchain is currently offering early access for market makers, quant traders, data scientists and dApp developers.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
