The Graph

The Sunray phase of the Sunrise of Decentralized Data has started with the launch of the Indexer upgrade. This upgrade allows for the availability of new chains on The Graph Network, including popular ecosystems like BuildOnBase, BNBCHAIN, and Optimism. It also enables seamless subgraph updates, allowing for immediate querying of new versions. Future developments include a streamlined upgrade interface and a free query plan. Developers interested in powering their dapps with The Graph Network can apply for an upgrade grant.

Yaniv Graph, Founder & CEO of Geobrowser, discusses how The Graph’s World of Data Services objective can enable innovation with web3-based AI models backed by verifiable data.

The Graph's New Era roadmap introduces novel ways to access data, including upgrading hosted service subgraphs to The Graph Network. High-volume subgraphs that are not upgraded will be auto-upgraded. The Graph Network benefits from global redundancy and a 99.9% query success rate. The Sunrise of Decentralized Data enables developers to upgrade subgraphs, gives Indexers more query demand, and allows Indexers to serve queries for more blockchain networks. The Sunrise also improves query speed and subgraph updates. Upgrading to The Graph Network provides autonomy for developers and eliminates the need for managing indexing infrastructure.

The Graph has announced that 95% of indexing rewards will now be enabled on Arbitrum, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution. This move allows users to take advantage of increasing rewards, lower gas fees, and faster transaction times.

The Graph Foundation has awarded bounties to the winners of the ETHIstanbul hackathon who used subgraphs or Substreams to build new dapps for web3. Winners include zkmap, GenieAI, CanaryBay, Degen Drink, and Nazar, who developed innovative projects such as a proof-of-location system, an AI marketplace, an on-chain registry of warrant canaries, a multi-chain drink dispenser, and a tool for exploring ERC-4337 transactions. These projects are pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology.

The Graph allows anyone to propose adding support for new chains on the network with their new community-driven Chain Integration Process. KAVA_CHAIN has submitted a proposal to integrate with The Graph Network.

Get ready for Datapalooza! Find out about the speakers, event schedule, and livestream link in this exciting upcoming event.

The inaugural Datapalooza hosted by The Graph Foundation is happening at @EFDevconnect in Istanbul on Nov. 13th. The event will feature expert-led talks and workshops on various topics including R&D, tooling, dapps, analytics, and LLMs. Speakers include Adam Fuller, Vyas Krishnan, Danning Sui, Willian Mitsuda, Hope Yen, Ansgar Grunseid, Vitalik Buterin, and more. Workshops will cover topics such as combining subgraphs, developing substreams, running an indexer, and using Chainlink Functions. The event can be attended in person or livestreamed. Don't miss it!

The Graph's Q3 2023 update highlights several achievements and future plans. Over 3 million GRT in query fees have been processed, the Graph Studio has surpassed 50,000+ lifetime developers, and edgeandnode launched L2 Transfer Tools for network participants. The number of delegators and subgraphs on the network increased significantly. Arweave File Data Sources and Substreams Beta on Arbitrum are now live. The Graph Foundation introduced a new chain integration process. Playgrounds0x emerged as a data analytics platform. Institutional participation is increasing. The ecosystem is preparing for the Indexer upgrade launch as part of the Sunrise plan and new chain integrations are expected.

The Graph has announced a big upcoming announcement on November 7th, signaling a new era for the platform.
