A chain indexer is software that takes blocks and reduces it to new derived data

A rollup is software that takes blocks and reduces it to new derived data in a provable way

A rollup is a great instrument to build an indexer in a provable way. In fact, it's simpler than a general rollup (no sequencer, no concept of "writes", no bridging (unless you want to commit the indexed state to a chain)

Great list. @indexsupply is also cooking something interesting.

In what way is op-stack an indexer? / do you mean reusing Cannon for a fraud-proven merkleized index?

Ponder devex is so good! I need to try Reth-exex but I imagine it’s great as well because Reth.

Have you yried matrix/element? E2ee by default, federated, foss. Liytle rough around the edges but iverall quite nice
