The Graph Builds Web3's Data Infrastructure for Agent-Ready Future

**Migration Made Simple** The Graph announced that users can now migrate from Alchemy's hosted subgraphs to their decentralized network in just minutes. **Key Benefits:** - Data remains **open and verifiable** - **Permissionless** access maintained - Seamless transition process **Perfect Timing** This migration update comes as The Graph prepares for their major **Horizon mainnet launch on December 9th** - representing years of protocol development and community feedback. The timing aligns with The Graph's recent 5-year anniversary celebration, highlighting their evolution from initial subgraphs to becoming the foundation for the next decade of decentralized data infrastructure. **Get Started** Developers can access the complete [migration guide](https://thegraph.com/docs/en/resources/migration-guides/migrate-from-alchemy/) to begin the transition process immediately.

**The Graph core dev team** is collaborating with major players including **Coinbase**, **Google Cloud**, and **Ethereum Foundation's dAI teams** to establish foundational standards for agentic infrastructure. Key developments include: - Contributing to **x402 standard** for payments - Working on **ERC-8004** for agent discovery **Ampersend AI** integrates these innovations into a unified operational system featuring: - A dedicated wallet for agents - A management dashboard for humans - Seamless budget and policy management - Autonomous access to blockchain data services This infrastructure enables AI agents to independently access services like The Graph's blockchain data while maintaining human oversight and control.

**The Graph is attending Solana Conference Breakpoint** in Abu Dhabi from December 11-13. The protocol will showcase: - Advanced data access solutions - Lightning-fast indexing capabilities - Robust infrastructure for Solana ecosystem The Graph aims to bring enhanced data infrastructure to Solana's high-performance blockchain, focusing on speed and reliability for developers building decentralized applications. *Builders can connect with The Graph team at the conference.*

**x402 protocol** is bringing the forgotten HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code back to life after 30 years of dormancy. **Key Features:** - Machine-native billing standard for AI agents - Enables per-request payments without accounts or API keys - Supports payments for data access, compute, and API queries - Backed by Coinbase and Cloudflare **How it works:** 1. Agent requests paid resource 2. Server responds with HTTP 402 + payment details 3. USDC payment processed through facilitator 4. Access granted instantly upon verification **The Graph Integration:** The Graph's data infrastructure provides the verifiable, queryable blockchain data that x402 transactions require. Their GraphTally already implements similar microtransactions at the protocol layer. **Combined Impact:** - x402 = open payment rail for agents - The Graph = open data rail for decisions - Together = autonomous systems that think, pay, and verify This creates a **machine-driven economy** where AI agents can autonomously transact using stablecoins across multiple chains including Base, Solana, and Polygon.
