Dune, a blockchain analysis platform, released a schedule for the deactivation of SparkSQL and PostgreSQL. It will be deleted from the data explorer on May 15, editing will be disabled on June 15, and the service will be stopped on July 15.

In the future, queries running on SparkSQL or PostgreSQL will no longer be updated, but the data in them can still be accessed.

Additionally, data ingestion for Polygon, BNB, Optimism, and Gnosis on their respective Postgres instances stopped on April 20th. Meanwhile, in the short term, Spells will continue to run on SparkSQL, but be queried by DuneSQL. The Dune team is already testing a new version of Spellbook that will run entirely on DuneSQL, closing the last remaining compatibility gap.
