**Enterprises face a critical challenge**: balancing the need for cutting-edge innovation with rock-solid reliability. Traditional solutions often force companies to choose one over the other. However, a new approach is emerging that could solve this dilemma. **Open source technology backed by distributed infrastructure networks** offers a promising solution: - Provides the innovation benefits of open source development - Delivers enterprise-grade reliability through network redundancy - Eliminates single points of failure common in centralized systems This model allows enterprises to access rapidly evolving technology while maintaining the stability their operations require. The combination of **community-driven innovation** and **distributed infrastructure** creates a robust foundation for enterprise adoption. Companies no longer need to sacrifice reliability for innovation - or vice versa.

**Current database systems fail blockchain users.** Traditional databases weren't built with blockchain data as a priority, creating significant gaps in accessibility and functionality. **The problem is clear:** - Existing databases don't prioritize blockchain data access - Users struggle with fragmented data retrieval - Current solutions create unnecessary complexity **Change is necessary.** The blockchain ecosystem needs databases designed specifically for decentralized data, not retrofitted traditional systems. This fundamental shift could streamline how developers and users interact with blockchain information across all networks.

The Graph launched its **Token API Beta** that connects AI agents like Claude to real-time blockchain data through natural language queries. Key features: - Uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) for seamless integration - Enables natural language queries for onchain token data - Powered by Substreams for real-time updates - Designed for analytics and token-aware AI agents Developers can now build AI applications that access fast, reliable crypto data without complex blockchain queries. The integration allows Claude AI to understand and respond to questions about token metrics, prices, and onchain activity using simple conversational language.
