The Graph

**Migration Made Simple** The Graph announced that users can now migrate from Alchemy's hosted subgraphs to their decentralized network in just minutes. **Key Benefits:** - Data remains **open and verifiable** - **Permissionless** access maintained - Seamless transition process **Perfect Timing** This migration update comes as The Graph prepares for their major **Horizon mainnet launch on December 9th** - representing years of protocol development and community feedback. The timing aligns with The Graph's recent 5-year anniversary celebration, highlighting their evolution from initial subgraphs to becoming the foundation for the next decade of decentralized data infrastructure. **Get Started** Developers can access the complete [migration guide](https://thegraph.com/docs/en/resources/migration-guides/migrate-from-alchemy/) to begin the transition process immediately.

**The Graph core dev team** is collaborating with major players including **Coinbase**, **Google Cloud**, and **Ethereum Foundation's dAI teams** to establish foundational standards for agentic infrastructure. Key developments include: - Contributing to **x402 standard** for payments - Working on **ERC-8004** for agent discovery **Ampersend AI** integrates these innovations into a unified operational system featuring: - A dedicated wallet for agents - A management dashboard for humans - Seamless budget and policy management - Autonomous access to blockchain data services This infrastructure enables AI agents to independently access services like The Graph's blockchain data while maintaining human oversight and control.

**The Graph is attending Solana Conference Breakpoint** in Abu Dhabi from December 11-13. The protocol will showcase: - Advanced data access solutions - Lightning-fast indexing capabilities - Robust infrastructure for Solana ecosystem The Graph aims to bring enhanced data infrastructure to Solana's high-performance blockchain, focusing on speed and reliability for developers building decentralized applications. *Builders can connect with The Graph team at the conference.*

**The UAE's formation** offers lessons for web3 durability through aligned systems. **Key requirements** for lasting web3 infrastructure: - Transparent data access - Predictable execution - Decentralized architecture **The Graph's contribution:** - Open standards for blockchain data indexing - Reproducible and verifiable data pipelines - Agent-ready infrastructure development These foundational efforts are positioning web3 for institutional adoption and shaping the internet's next evolution.

**x402 protocol** is bringing the forgotten HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code back to life after 30 years of dormancy. **Key Features:** - Machine-native billing standard for AI agents - Enables per-request payments without accounts or API keys - Supports payments for data access, compute, and API queries - Backed by Coinbase and Cloudflare **How it works:** 1. Agent requests paid resource 2. Server responds with HTTP 402 + payment details 3. USDC payment processed through facilitator 4. Access granted instantly upon verification **The Graph Integration:** The Graph's data infrastructure provides the verifiable, queryable blockchain data that x402 transactions require. Their GraphTally already implements similar microtransactions at the protocol layer. **Combined Impact:** - x402 = open payment rail for agents - The Graph = open data rail for decisions - Together = autonomous systems that think, pay, and verify This creates a **machine-driven economy** where AI agents can autonomously transact using stablecoins across multiple chains including Base, Solana, and Polygon.

**The Graph Foundation** sponsored SmartCon's inaugural VC Demo Day, connecting emerging web3 projects with venture capital investors. The event showcased: - Real blockchain projects seeking funding - Technical talent from the web3 builder community - Investment opportunities in decentralized infrastructure **Derek Meyer** from The Graph's Technical Council served as a judge, evaluating projects alongside other industry experts. The sponsorship aligns with The Graph's mission to **support the next generation** of web3 developers and infrastructure builders.

**The Graph has joined the Ethereum Protocol Advocacy Alliance (EPAA)**, a coalition of major DeFi protocols representing over $100B in onchain assets. **Key alliance members include:** - Aave - Curve Finance - Lido Finance - Uniswap Foundation - Aragon Project - Spark Protocol **The EPAA advocates for four core principles:** - Protocol neutrality - Onchain transparency - Flexibility for innovation - Global permissionless access **Why The Graph joined:** As a protocol that makes trusted onchain data accessible, The Graph wants to ensure future financial regulations are informed by actual builders rather than external parties. The alliance works with advocacy partners including the European Crypto Initiative and DeFi Research Collective to influence policy development.

**The Graph has launched Amp**, the world's first enterprise blockchain-native database designed specifically for finance, analytics, and compliance. **Key Features:** - Transforms encoded onchain data into **real-time, structured datasets** - Purpose-built for compliance, auditability, and speed - Verifiable and audit-ready data lineage - Unified SQL access across multiple blockchains - Real-time streaming and batch processing - Flexible cloud or on-premises deployment **Enterprise Focus** Amp represents a significant evolution from The Graph's previous Subgraph technology. While The Graph made blockchain data usable, **Amp makes it enterprise-grade**. The database allows builders to create and run smart contract datasets locally with zero setup, targeting institutional adoption in the era of fast chains.

**The Graph shipped major updates in Q3 2025, expanding its data infrastructure across multiple fronts.** **Token API Gets Solana Support** - Added Solana token and DEX endpoints with SPL balances, metadata, and pricing - Covers major protocols like Raydium, Jupiter, Meteora, and Pump.fun - **AI-driven spam scoring** improves trust for wallets and marketplaces - New batch queries enable efficient multi-wallet analytics **Developer Tools Enhanced** - **Subgraph Dev Mode** launched with local-first Graph Node runner - Instant redeploys without IPFS dependency - Foundational Stores reduce indexing costs on Ethereum and Solana - Simplified billing and team management on The Graph Market **Infrastructure Expansion** - **Horizon testnet** validates multi-service blockchain architecture - **TRON support** added for real-time data streaming - Chainlink CCIP integration enables cross-chain data flows **AI Integration Progress** - MCP integrations allow AI systems to query onchain data directly - Compatible with Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT Developers can now access unified data across Ethereum, Solana, and TRON through a single protocol powered by $GRT tokens.

**The Graph Protocol's Builders Office Hours is currently live**, featuring Marcus Rein and Denis from Pinax Network. The session focuses on: - How **The Graph's Token API integrates with AI agents** - Powering blockchain data access within **OpenAI's ChatGPT 5** - Practical applications for tracking blockchain assets through AI This technical deep dive demonstrates the **convergence of blockchain data and AI technology**, showing developers how to leverage The Graph's infrastructure for AI-powered applications. The live stream is available on the GraphDevs account for those interested in blockchain data integration.
