Cardano Foundation supports BloxBean’s launch of Analytics Store for easy data access
Getting useful data out of a blockchain has always been harder than it should be. BloxBean just made it significantly easier for Cardano developers by launching the Analytics Store, a new module within its Yaci Store project that exports the chain’s full on-chain history into open, portable Parquet files.
The Cardano Foundation is backing the effort directly, contributing engineering resources to help ensure the tool is production-ready.
What the Analytics Store actually does
The Analytics Store bridges that gap by continuously synchronizing data from PostgreSQL into partitioned Parquet files using an in-process DuckDB engine. It takes the messy, infrastructure-heavy work of indexing and querying blockchain data and turns it into lightweight, analysis-ready exports that any data tool can consume.
Parquet is a columnar storage format widely used in data engineering. It works natively with tools like Python’s pandas, Apache Spark, and essentially any modern analytics stack. By exporting Cardano data in this format, BloxBean is meeting data analysts where they already live, rather than forcing them to learn blockchain-specific tooling first.
The module also supports automatic syncing and optional DuckLake catalog management, meaning the exported data stays current without manual intervention. Deployment options include Docker, standalone JAR, or embedding directly into existing applications, with support for both mainnet and testnets.
From community project to production infrastructure
Yaci Store started as a community-driven project. It has since evolved into a modular, high-performance Java-based Cardano indexer that BloxBean develops with direct support from the Cardano Foundation.
Version 2.0.0 dropped on February 3, 2026, introducing native capabilities for ledger and governance state derivation. That release was significant because it meant the tool could derive critical blockchain state natively, without relying on external components to fill in the gaps.
The Analytics Store module launched on June 14, 2026, building on that foundation. The Cardano Foundation uses Yaci Store in its own Rosetta Java implementation, and it powers analytics tools like SundaeSwap Scooper Analytics.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners
Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.
If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.
The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.

Corning (GLW.US) receives initial "Buy" rating from Jefferies! AI factories driving a fiber optic rush, with a potential global supply gap of up to 30%
For Corning, the recent profit growth mainly comes from the expansion of AI clusters. As the number of optical links crossing cabinets and campuses increases, customers need to deploy more optical fibers within limited conduit and cabinet space, thus driving demand for high-density optical cables and connection systems.
