Indexing Kite AI with Subgraphs

Subgraphs are the most common way to index Kite AI contracts and events.

Goldsky supports two deployment paths, depending on how much control you need.

Option 1: Deploy a Custom Subgraph (Full Control)

Use this option if you want:

• Custom schemas
• Derived entities
• Complex mappings or transformations

Requirements:

• subgraph.yaml
• schema.graphql
• Mapping files (AssemblyScript)

Deploy command:

goldsky subgraph deploy <name>/<version> --path .

Option 2: Instant Subgraphs (Quick Start)

Use instant subgraphs if you want:

• Fast setup
• Minimal configuration
• Event-level indexing from an ABI

You only need:

• Contract address
• ABI file

Deploy command:

goldsky subgraph deploy <name>/<version> \
  --from-abi <ABI_PATH> \
  --network <CHAIN_SLUG>

Goldsky automatically generates:

• subgraph.yaml
• Schema
• Event mappings

Kite AI Network Configuration

Use the following chain slugs when deploying subgraphs for Kite AI:

These slugs are required for:

• Subgraph deployments
• Instant subgraphs
• Mirror pipelines

Common Kite AI Use Cases

Builders commonly use Goldsky on Kite AI for:

• Agent payment flows & settlement tracking
• ERC-20 / native token analytics
• Protocol-level metrics (TPS, volume, usage)
• Explorer backends & dashboards
• Agent reputation, activity, and lifecycle analytics

Goldsky pairs especially well with agent-native apps that require:

• Low-latency reads
• Deterministic historical queries
• Scalable analytics without running infra
