James Bayly: Escape the Data Dark Ages

James Bayly, CEO of SubQuery, discusses the challenges of decentralizing data infrastructure and how his company is working to build a decentralized data network. Bayly explains that many of the core infrastructure solutions are still quite centralized and that decentralized data networks could offer more reliable and safe access to data. He also discusses how such a network would be structured and how users would be rewarded for participating. SubQuery allows you to index data off the chain and into a traditional database, making it possible to query and sort data in a way that isn't possible with blockchains alone. This makes for a better user experience and more intuitive applications.
