The Graph Foundation Awards Bounties to Hackathon Winners
The Graph Foundation Awards Bounties to Hackathon Winners
The Graph Foundation has awarded bounties to the winners of the ETHIstanbul hackathon who used subgraphs or Substreams to build new dapps for web3. Winners include zkmap, GenieAI, CanaryBay, Degen Drink, and Nazar, who developed innovative projects such as a proof-of-location system, an AI marketplace, an on-chain registry of warrant canaries, a multi-chain drink dispenser, and a tool for exploring ERC-4337 transactions. These projects are pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology.

The Graph Addresses AI Centralization Risks with Decentralized Data
**The Graph** is tackling a critical challenge in AI development: the inherent centralization risks that come from training models on centralized datasets. Key developments: - Launch of Token API Beta enabling AI models to access real-time blockchain data - Integration with major AI platforms including Claude and Cursor - Substreams technology providing scalable, decentralized data streams The initiative aims to make blockchain data more AI-accessible while preserving decentralization principles. The Graph's infrastructure allows AI systems to tap into continuously updated onchain data, reducing dependency on centralized sources. *Learn more about Token API Beta at [thegraph.com/token-api](https://thegraph.com/token-api/)*
The Graph Expands Network Support with Multiple Chain Integrations
The Graph continues expanding its blockchain data indexing capabilities with several new integrations in Q2 2025: - **ApeChain** joins The Graph ecosystem, enabling builders to access blockchain data via Subgraphs - **Sonic** completes CIP integration, allowing developers to query Subgraphs on the decentralized network - **Metis L2**, **Mega ETH Testnet**, and **Manta Network** are now supported in Subgraph Studio - **Lens Chain** and **Stellar** network integrations provide enhanced data access for SocialFi applications - **Viction Layer-1** developers can now utilize Subgraphs for reliable onchain data These integrations enable fast, reliable blockchain data access for dapp development across multiple networks.
The Graph Integrates Autonomys Network for Decentralized AI Infrastructure
