The Graph Rolls Out 2026 Roadmap for Substreams Network Expansion
The Graph Rolls Out 2026 Roadmap for Substreams Network Expansion
🗓️ The Graph's 2026 Plan
The Graph announced its 2026 roadmap for Substreams, the protocol that reduces Ethereum history processing from weeks to hours through parallel processing.
Key milestones:
- Q1: Reth and Besu instrumentation for expanded chain coverage
- Q2: Horizon-based P2P data service with GraphTally payments
- Q3: Mainnet rollout and Provider Selection Oracle
- Q4: Probabilistic verifier for data integrity and Substreams REO
The upgrades transform Substreams into a fully permissionless data service with trust-minimized payments and verification mechanisms. The technology already supports high-throughput chains including Solana, Base, and BSC with sub-second latency.
Substreams addresses blockchain indexing bottlenecks by connecting directly to nodes rather than relying on RPC calls, enabling parallel data streaming across multiple channels simultaneously.
At scale, sequential blockchain indexing hits a wall. Substreams solves this with parallel processing, composable modules, and sub-second latency on chains like Solana, Base, and BSC. In 2026, Substreams moves The Graph Network as a fully permissionless data service, with
Traditional financial institutions are building on blockchains. They need data infrastructure that meets compliance requirements, handles high throughput, and runs reliably at scale. Substreams was built for this.
Substreams compresses Ethereum history processing from weeks to hours. That is the baseline. In 2026, The Graph adds: ➡️ Q1 Reth and Besu instrumentation for broader chain coverage ➡️ Q2 Horizon-based P2P data service with GraphTally payments ➡️ Q3 Mainnet rollout and Provider

The Graph Network Enables AI Agents to Query Blockchain Data in Plain English
The Graph Network has made every indexed blockchain dataset accessible to AI agents through natural language queries. **Key capabilities now live:** - AI assistants can query any indexed protocol, wallet, or onchain activity in plain English - No custom integration code needed for each AI model - The existing data layer connects directly to the agent layer This development builds on The Graph's five-year mission of making blockchain data queryable without custom infrastructure.
Fynd: Open Source Router Launches with 5-Minute Setup
**Fynd**, a new open-source routing engine, has launched with a promise of rapid deployment. Built on **Tycho** and powered by **The Graph Substreams**, the platform enables users to: - Spin up configurable routers in under 5 minutes - Leverage Substreams technology for fast, scalable data processing - Access open-source infrastructure for custom routing solutions The tool targets developers seeking quick deployment of routing infrastructure without extensive setup time. By utilizing The Graph's Substreams, Fynd offers real-time data indexing capabilities at scale.
Tempo Integrates The Graph's Subgraphs for Stablecoin Payment Indexing
**Tempo**, a blockchain built for stablecoin payments, now supports **The Graph's Subgraphs** for data indexing. Developers can now: - Track stablecoin transfers in real-time - Reconcile balances and monitor settlement flows - Build compliance dashboards using GraphQL APIs - Access payment data without custom backend infrastructure The integration brings The Graph's proven indexing technology—already deployed across 70+ networks—to Tempo's payments-focused chain. Both Tempo's Moderato testnet and Mainnet are now indexable. **Use cases include:** - Payment tracking dashboards - Cross-border compliance monitoring - Automated payroll verification - Settlement analytics for tokenized deposits This provides fintech teams building on Tempo with production-ready data infrastructure for stablecoin payment applications.
The Graph Showcases Enterprise Blockchain Data Stack at Digital Asset Summit
At the Digital Asset Summit in New York, **The Graph** addressed a critical institutional challenge: transforming raw blockchain data into audit-ready, production-grade formats. The protocol presented its three-tier solution: - **Subgraphs** - Indexed APIs for structured data access - **Substreams** - High-performance data pipelines - **Amp** - Enterprise-grade SQL access across multiple chains Amp represents The Graph's latest evolution, offering institutions verifiable, compliant, real-time blockchain data with multichain access, composable SQL queries, and flexible deployment options (hosted or on-premises).
Spritz App Leverages The Graph's Token API for Decentralized Cross-Chain Data Access
**Spritz app integrates The Graph's Token API** to access real-time token data across multiple blockchains. Key features: - **Reliable cross-chain data access** without centralized dependencies - **Eliminates single points of failure** through decentralized infrastructure - Provides consistent token information across different networks The Graph's Token API recently added: - No-code AI agent capabilities - Batch queries for multiple wallets and contracts - New DEX endpoints for swaps, pools, and liquidity data This integration allows Spritz to maintain uptime and data accuracy while avoiding reliance on centralized data providers.
