SQD (Subsquid) has partnered with popular YouTube animator Carbot Animations (2.4M subscribers) to explain its major network upgrade, Portal, through an accessible animated video. The 2-minute-40-second video, "SQD Portal: The Movie," uses a charming, Spongebob-esque style to demystify complex Web3 data concepts like decentralization, RPC, and APIs for a non-technical audience. It portrays the Portal as a vortex transporting a cartoon squid to different worlds, illustrating the upgrade's benefits: providing developers instant access to massive amounts of raw blockchain data without needing to run their own nodes or rely on slow, expensive centralized providers. The video emphasizes data as a public utility, not a corporate-controlled asset. The collaboration has been well-received, successfully making a technically challenging concept understandable and engaging.
