The Graph Introduces Standardized Subgraphs

**The Graph** is making its presence known at multiple major Ethereum events in Buenos Aires this November. The protocol will participate in: - **EF Devcon** (Nov 17-22, 2025) - **ETHGlobal Buenos Aires** hackathon (Nov 21-23) - **Ethereum Worlds Fair** DeFi district ETHGlobal offers **$500K+ in prizes** and free hacker house spots for 150 builders. The hackathon brings together top builders and emerging projects across the Ethereum ecosystem. Buenos Aires provides the perfect backdrop - a city celebrated for its creativity, culture, and cuisine while developers build next-generation applications.

**The Graph's Builders Office Hours is currently live** with Marcus Rein and notlikepaka showcasing four major new Subgraph features. **Key Features Being Demonstrated:** - **Subgraph Dev Mode** - Local development with instant updates, no IPFS or redeployments needed - **Composition** - Modular design allowing developers to reuse existing Subgraphs like building blocks - **Aggregations** - Transform data into hourly/daily trends without manual processing - **Declarative eth_calls** - Parallel contract reads for faster syncing These updates make Subgraphs easier to build, faster to sync, and more scalable for AI data workflows. **Join the live session:** - [Discord Event](https://discord.com/events/438038660412342282/1394284410852868282) - Follow [@GraphDevs](https://twitter.com/GraphDevs) on X *Bring your questions and see the new stack in action.*

**The Graph Foundation** has appointed **Derek Meyer** as the newest member of The Graph Council. Derek is the Founder of **Data Nexus**, where he has spent three years developing solutions that bridge blockchain data and infrastructure. **Key Details:** - The Graph Council comprises web3 pioneers - Members help shape the network's future direction - Focus on aligning long-term vision with technical execution This appointment strengthens the council's expertise in blockchain data infrastructure as The Graph continues to evolve its decentralized protocol.

**Major enterprises are already using blockchain infrastructure** that has processed over 1.2 trillion queries across networks. The shift represents a fundamental change in how companies view blockchain technology - moving from experimental to operational infrastructure. **Key developments:** - Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies driving blockchain adoption - Focus on updating century-old financial systems - Competitive pressure forcing rapid adoption Companies recognize that blockchain offers foundational solutions for modernizing global financial operations. Those who delay implementation risk falling behind competitors in the global economy. The question has evolved from *whether* blockchain will transform enterprise operations to *which companies* will need to catch up to early adopters.

**The Graph's GRT token is now officially a Cross-Chain Token (CCT)**, enabling secure transfers across multiple blockchains. **Key Features:** - Powered by Chainlink CCIP for secure cross-chain functionality - Currently supports Arbitrum, Base, and Avalanche - Solana integration planned for phase 2 - Makes The Graph network accessible across major ecosystems This expansion allows developers to use GRT wherever they're building, potentially increasing adoption of The Graph's blockchain data services across the multi-chain ecosystem.
