The Graph

**The Graph Token API Beta** now supports Solana DEX data and historical pricing across **60+ AMMs**. **Key features include:** - Price tracking across Raydium, Jupiter, Meteora, and Pump.fun - Token price charts for specific pools - Swap tracking across major Solana programs - Complete transaction history for accounting This update makes onchain data more **accessible and standardized** for developers building price charts, portfolio apps, and trading tools.

**The Challenge**: Every new blockchain creates fresh indexing complications for developers. **The Vision**: What if all blockchain networks could be queried using the same standardized approach? **The Concept**: Treating blockchain data like a traditional database could simplify access across multiple chains. Key benefits: - Eliminates chain-specific indexing requirements - Standardizes data access methods - Reduces development complexity This approach could transform how developers interact with multi-chain ecosystems, making blockchain data as accessible as conventional databases.

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/)

The Graph has launched a new initiative offering **free Subgraph Studio integration** for eligible blockchain networks. Eligibility criteria includes: - L1s must rank in top 100 for TVL, users, or protocols on DeFiLlama - L2s/L3s require minimum $10M TVL on L2beat - Pre-mainnet chains showing strong potential may qualify Benefits include: - Free access to onchain data via subgraphs - 100,000 monthly queries at no cost - 24/7 decentralized support across Discord, Telegram & Slack Interested chains can apply through the official typeform application.

The Graph has expanded its blockchain support by integrating Japan Open Chain (JOC) into Subgraph Studio. Key points: - JOC is an EVM-compatible public blockchain - Designed specifically to meet Japan's regulatory requirements - Provides infrastructure for enterprise and developer web3 services - Joins over 40 other supported chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base Developers can now build subgraphs to organize and query JOC data through The Graph's decentralized infrastructure.
