Shiden Blockchain Data Indexing API

Shiden Quick Facts

The Shiden Network is a scalable and interoperable infrastructure for Web3.0. Since the Shiden Network is built with Parity’s Substrate framework, it can be a future Kusama parachain that also acts as a scalable smart contract platform. The Kusama Relaychain, by design, does not support smart contracts. This allows the Shiden Network the opportunity to fill in this gap. Scalability is obviously one of the most crucial demands dApp developers have. Ideally, the developers can build whatever applications on the Shiden Network without having to consider its scalability. The Shiden Network is built on the Kusama parent chain.
