🎂 Graph's 5th Birthday Brings SF Celebration and Mystery Surprise

**The Graph launches migration guide** as centralized providers sunset their Subgraphs services. Developers can now move from **Alchemy's centralized APIs** back to The Graph's original decentralized solution using the new [migration guide](https://thegraph.com/docs/en/resources/migration-guides/migrate-from-alchemy/). **New features include:** - Dev Mode for easier development - Composition capabilities - Advanced aggregations - Declarative eth_calls The Graph continues shipping updates to its **open-source infrastructure** while competitors scale back services. *Need help migrating? Contact @0xMarianWal or @impranavm_ to get started.*

**The Graph has launched Amp**, the world's first enterprise blockchain-native database designed specifically for finance, analytics, and compliance. **Key Features:** - Transforms encoded onchain data into **real-time, structured datasets** - Purpose-built for compliance, auditability, and speed - Verifiable and audit-ready data lineage - Unified SQL access across multiple blockchains - Real-time streaming and batch processing - Flexible cloud or on-premises deployment **Enterprise Focus** Amp represents a significant evolution from The Graph's previous Subgraph technology. While The Graph made blockchain data usable, **Amp makes it enterprise-grade**. The database allows builders to create and run smart contract datasets locally with zero setup, targeting institutional adoption in the era of fast chains.

**Geo Protocol** has officially spun out from The Graph to become its own independent protocol. Founded by @geobrowser and @yanivgraph after years of building within The Graph ecosystem, Geo focuses on: - **Organizing and verifying knowledge** in an open, composable manner - **Contributing to decentralized data and AI** infrastructure - **Enabling builders** with better tools and protocols The new protocol will continue building on The Graph while expanding the broader ecosystem of decentralized data solutions. This spinout represents a natural evolution for the team, allowing them to focus specifically on knowledge governance and verification systems.

**Arc testnet integration with The Graph's Subgraph Studio is now live.** Arc is Circle's new Layer-1 blockchain designed as an "Economic OS" for the internet. The network aims to bridge programmable money and onchain innovation with real-world economic activity. **Key features:** - Deterministic sub-second finality - Stablecoins as native gas - Opt-in configurable privacy - Purpose-built for global financial systems **Target use cases:** - Lending and financial services - Capital markets - Tokenized asset issuance - Worldwide stablecoin settlement Developers can now build subgraphs on Arc to create fast, performant frontends for their applications. The testnet is already seeing participation from companies across capital markets, payments, and developer infrastructure. Circle envisions Arc as public internet infrastructure where financial apps become as accessible as email, with instant fiat currency movement and compliant private transactions at scale.
