# What's next for account-centric indexing?

As new smart contracts and data protocols emerge, account-centric indexing evolves accordingly, extending support to include new assets, social protocols, credentials, and other developments. We are committed to enhance account-centric indexing's capabilities from the following two dimensions:

1. **Modularity:** Standardizing and modularizing the adapter design provides a consistent and scalable approach to supporting new contracts. It serves as a venue for contract developers to publish their work to end users, who then have easy access to new contracts and protocols added and supported across the network. 
2. **Horizontally scalability**: our protocol network is highly composable, allowing for on-chain data indexing units to be as small as hosting a single account or as large as hosting an entire blockchain’s data. This design ensures horizontal scalability and decentralization without compromising performance. As an example, devices as small as personal cell phones hosting one account, effectively acting as a “personal data pack”, or as large as a distributed database cluster hosting full Ethereum mainnet data (currently \~10TB in total as of end of 2023), can be seamlessly supported to join the Hemera network.
