The Graph

Tempo, a blockchain designed for stablecoin payments, now supports The Graph's Subgraphs for data indexing. This integration allows developers to: - **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 covers both Tempo's Moderato testnet and Mainnet, enabling developers to query on-chain payment data through clean APIs. Use cases include payment tracking dashboards, cross-border compliance monitoring, automated payroll verification, and settlement analytics. The Graph's indexing infrastructure, already deployed across 70+ networks, now provides payments-focused data tools for fintech teams building on Tempo.

**The Graph token ($GRT) is expanding its multi-chain presence through Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).** The token is now bridgeable across: - Arbitrum - Base - Avalanche Solana integration is planned as the next addition to the bridging infrastructure. **A Liquid Staking Initiative is under development** to simplify delegation processes for users on centralized exchanges, making participation in The Graph's network more accessible to a broader audience.

The Graph is launching an expanded product suite that extends beyond its core Subgraph offering. The new services aim to capture a larger addressable market by supporting more data services and use cases. **Key Points:** - Protocol economics redesigned to distribute growth benefits across all participants - Expansion builds on The Graph's open-source foundation, which has attracted 75,000+ developers - New suite maintains the open standards approach that has driven ecosystem-wide improvements The move represents a strategic shift from a single-product focus to a broader data infrastructure platform, while preserving the collaborative development model that has defined The Graph's growth.

Substreams is moving toward full protocol integration through Horizon, focusing on real-time data streaming for high-throughput blockchains. **Target Markets:** - DeFi protocols - AI infrastructure - Large-scale analytics platforms - Financial institutions **Supported Chains:** - Solana - Base - Binance The integration aims to serve organizations requiring immediate data access on fast-moving blockchain networks, addressing the growing demand for real-time blockchain data in both crypto-native and traditional finance sectors.

A new Token API now provides pre-indexed token data across 10 blockchain networks, eliminating the need for platforms to build their own indexing systems. **Key Features:** - Production-ready data infrastructure - Support for 10 chains with plans for expansion - Designed for wallets, explorers, marketplaces, and analytics tools **What This Means:** Developers can now access standardized token information without investing resources in custom indexing solutions. The API handles the technical complexity of tracking token data across multiple chains, allowing teams to focus on building user-facing features. This infrastructure layer addresses a common pain point in web3 development, where each platform previously needed to maintain its own data indexing systems.

**The Graph's Subgraphs reached new maturity in 2026** with improvements in quality, cost efficiency, and AI compatibility. **Key developments:** - MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) integrations now enable natural language queries of blockchain data - Onchain data accessible through Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT - Eliminates need for GraphQL knowledge, manual query writing, and data formatting **Practical applications:** - Compare lending rates across 40+ DeFi protocols and multiple chains - Monitor Aave deployments across 7 chains conversationally - Access $1.7B in prediction market data through simple conversation The MCP server acts as middleware between AI assistants and The Graph's 15,000+ Subgraphs, handling data retrieval and formatting invisibly. Developers can now prototype dashboards and query live data by describing what they need in plain language.

**Graph Horizon officially launched in December 2025**, marking a fundamental shift in how The Graph handles blockchain data. Instead of relying on a single approach for all use cases, **The Graph now supports multiple purpose-built data services** - including subgraphs, streams, and analytics - all operating within one unified economic and security framework. This modular architecture allows different data services to coexist while being secured by the same GRT-powered protocol. The approach enables The Graph to scale across various data types and use cases without compromising on decentralization or security. Horizon represents The Graph's evolution into a comprehensive protocol for the world's data layer, supporting current needs while remaining flexible for future data services.

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 to make blockchain data queryable without custom infrastructure. The protocol now bridges the gap between blockchain data indexing and AI agent functionality, enabling automated access to onchain information across multiple chains.

**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 decentralized data infrastructure for routing operations - Access open-source tools for customization The engine utilizes **Substreams** technology, which provides real-time data indexing at scale. This infrastructure has been adopted by leading web3 and AI applications for its ability to deliver precise, high-volume data processing without performance degradation. Fynd's quick-setup approach aims to lower barriers for developers building routing solutions in the decentralized ecosystem. The open-source nature allows for community contributions and custom implementations. [Learn more about Substreams](https://substreams.dev/)

A new blockchain data tool called **graph-aave-mcp** now connects Claude AI with live Aave protocol data across seven chains. **Key capabilities:** - Simulate health factors during price crash scenarios - Track liquidation events in real time - Compare supply and borrow rates across different deployments - Monitor governance proposals through conversation The tool is powered by The Graph Protocol's indexed data and requires just one npm install to access every major Aave deployment. **Who benefits:** - Risk analysts can model scenarios conversationally - DeFi researchers gain real-time market insights - Builders can prototype dashboards by describing requirements - Content creators can query live data while writing The tool eliminates manual GraphQL queries, unit conversions, and stale data snapshots—users simply ask questions in plain English.
