The Graph

The Graph ecosystem wrapped up a successful presence at the UDC Upbit Conference in Seoul. **Key highlights:** - Strong engagement from Korean blockchain community - Panel discussion on **"The Trust Problem in Onchain Insights: What Data Can We Believe?"** - Featured Pranav Maheshwari, Director of Integrations at Edge & Node - Team connected with attendees at The Graph booth The conference showcased developments in **blockchain data verifiability** and provided networking opportunities for ecosystem members. *The Korean web3 community's enthusiasm made the event particularly meaningful for The Graph team.*

**Celo Sepolia testnet is now live** with immediate support from The Graph protocol. Developers can now: - Index and query Celo data through Subgraph Studio - Build applications on the new testnet with decentralized data access - Start development without waiting for additional infrastructure This follows The Graph's pattern of **day-one support** for Celo networks, previously seen with the Celo L2 mainnet launch. The integration enables seamless blockchain data access for developers building on Celo's testing environment.

**The Graph Token API Beta** now allows users to access blockchain token data through simple natural language queries. **Key Features:** - Natural language processing for token data queries - Integration with popular AI tools like Cursor, Claude, and Cline - Support for Solana token transfers and balances - Full NFT and token coverage on Avalanche - OHLC price data from Uniswap V4 - Enterprise-grade infrastructure **Use Cases:** - Analytics enhancement - AI agent training - Portfolio tracking - Dashboard development - Wallet UI integration The API uses **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** to connect with LLMs and AI assistants, making blockchain data more accessible to developers and analysts.

**The Graph Builders Basecamp** offers a practical learning path for Web2 developers transitioning to web3. Key features: - Short, hands-on missions designed specifically for Web2 developers - Focus on **faster, more composable** web3 workflows - Space-themed NFT rewards as proof of progress - Gamified approach to learning blockchain development fundamentals The platform teaches core web3 concepts through real-world building exercises rather than theoretical lessons. Developers complete missions to gain practical experience with smart contracts and blockchain indexing. **Perfect for developers** ready to explore web3 without overwhelming complexity.

The Graph's decentralized knowledge graph system is positioning itself as a crucial infrastructure for AI development. Here's why it matters: - **Open Data Access**: The Graph provides transparent and permissionless data access, essential for AI advancement - **Decentralized Knowledge**: Information remains composable and accessible, unlike traditional closed systems - **Future Impact**: New AI models are expected to develop using The Graph's growing knowledge graph infrastructure The protocol's approach challenges current AI data paradigms by ensuring open access and transparency, potentially reshaping how AI systems evolve and access information.

The Graph Foundation has announced winners of the ETHGlobal Cannes hackathon, awarding $10,000 in total prizes across three categories: - **GRC-20-ts Library Category** ($1000): Cosmiq won for their AI platform building web3 apps from prompts - **Hypergraph Framework Category**: • 1st Place ($3000): Hypermaps - LLM mind-mapping tool • 2nd Place ($2000): Livus - health data ownership platform - **Graph Token API/Subgraphs Category**: • 1st Place ($2500): CCTUP - cross-chain transaction management • 2nd Place ($1500): circules_subgraph - trust-based token flow visualizer All winning projects demonstrated innovative uses of The Graph's technology for data indexing and knowledge management.

The Graph's decentralized network continues to evolve as a fundamental infrastructure for web3 development. Here's what you need to know: - **Subgraphs**, **Substreams**, and **Token API** form the core tools for processing blockchain data - The protocol, powered by $GRT, enables developers to build more efficient and scalable applications - The Graph serves as the essential data layer across multiple blockchain networks, making raw data accessible and usable Developers can start exploring The Graph's tools at [The Graph Documentation](https://thegraph.com/docs/)

The Graph has launched Substreams, a solution addressing Solana's data indexing challenges. The technology enables: - Real-time indexing for high TPS chains - Instant historical backfills - Automatic reorganization handling - Historical account data access - Pre-built decodings Key infrastructure improvements include: - Archive node support for genesis account state backfill - Enhanced IDL versioning - Standardized decoding protocols The system processes data with 1.5s block times and eliminates RPC bottlenecks, making it enterprise-ready. Developers can now extract, transform, and serve on-chain data at scale without traditional limitations. [Read the full blog post](thegraph.com/blog/solana-ind)

**Manta Network**, a modular L2 solution, has integrated with Subgraph Studio, enabling developers to access blockchain data efficiently. This follows recent integrations with Lens Chain for SocialFi applications and Viction Layer-1. Key Updates: - Manta Network integration live for developer access - Lens Chain support added for SocialFi development - Viction Layer-1 now available in Subgraph Studio Developers can now build advanced dapps with reliable onchain data access across these networks. Visit [Subgraph Studio](https://thegraph.com/studio/) to start building.

The Graph has expanded its blockchain data indexing support to include Fraxtal blockchain. This integration enables developers building on Fraxtal to: - Access real-time onchain data through Subgraphs - Power frontend applications with reliable blockchain data - Query Fraxtal blockchain data directly via Subgraph Studio Developers can begin exploring Fraxtal data immediately through [The Graph Studio](https://thegraph.com/studio/)
