The Graph : Official Announcements

Exciting news! The Semiotic Labs team has published a white paper detailing how The Graph will introduce two new AI services: Inference and Agent. These services will revolutionize the way AI models and AI-driven dapps are deployed and run on decentralized infrastructures.

The Inference Service allows developers to host AI models with computational support from The Graph's Indexers. The Agent Service enables the creation of autonomous, AI-driven dapps that can interact seamlessly within blockchain environments.

As part of today’s whitepaper release, Agentc - a ChatGPT-like tool built on The Graph’s Uniswap data - is now available as a public demo! Users can experience an AI-powered tool built on The Graph. For the next two weeks, the public demo will allow users to interact with blockchain data in a new and intuitive way.

Check out the white paper for more details:

Democratize Data. Revolutionize web3. Earn GRT 🌅

The Graph Foundation just launched the 4 million GRT Sunrise Upgrade Program – empowering anyone on the internet to revolutionize how the world accesses data.

Complete a variety of fun onchain and offchain missions ranging from contributing to The Graph Network to creating helpful content. Free yourself and others from the data monopolies of the legacy web. Make data autonomy the new normal 📊

🧐 What is the Sunrise Upgrade Program?

The Sunrise Upgrade Program is composed of a variety of creative technical and non-technical missions in support of The Graph’s Sunrise of Decentralized Data – a three-phased plan enabling all subgraphs to upgrade seamlessly to The Graph Network.

The Graph Foundation has allocated up to 4 Million GRT to reward The Graph community (and community newcomers) for their contributions around completed missions in this program.
The successful completion of qualified missions earn individuals GRT rewards.

Pro tip: participants completing missions earlier are able to earn a larger amount of the reward pool.

All are welcome to join the movement. Want to learn more and participate?

If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure to check out Messari’s Q4 2023 on The Graph!

https://messari.io/report/state-of-the-graph-q4-2023

Here’s a preview:

- As of Q4'23, 1509 subgraphs have been published from The Graph’s hosted service to the decentralized network, up 14% QoQ and 144% YoY.
- Indexing rewards decreased by 6% QoQ and 7% YoY in GRT terms, as the GRT annual inflation was below 3% throughout 2023. In USD terms, indexing rewards grew by 24% QoQ to nearly 10 million USD, driven by an increase in GRT/USD exchange rate.
- Demand-side revenue in USD dropped 10% QoQ and 65% YoY, driven by query price optimizations. In GRT terms, demand-side revenue decreased 25% QoQ and 80% YoY.

🌅 The Sunray phase of the Sunrise has begun!

The upgrade Indexer is live, and with that, phase 1 of the Sunrise of Decentralized Data has begun. The Sunray phase marks the first of three in the journey towards the Sunrise of Decentralized Data 🎉

What does the upgrade Indexer mean for The Graph ecosystem?

⛓️ New chains available on The Graph Network ⛓️

Chains that were previously only available on the hosted service are now available on The Graph Network! Web3 devs can publish subgraphs across dozens of chains. This includes popular ecosystems such as Base, BNB Chain, Optimism and 20+ more! This is a huge step toward full support for more networks on The Graph!

⚡ Seamless subgraph updates ⚡

Thanks to the upgrade Indexer, new subgraph versions will be available to be queried virtually immediately after updating.

What else does the Sunray phase unlock in the coming months? 👀

✨ Coming soon: streamlined upgrade interface ✨

Core devs are developing an easy-to-use upgrade interface for upgrading hosted service subgraphs to The Graph Network – enabling every developer building on The Graph to take advantage of the network’s superior quality of service, fast syncing speeds, ultra-reliable uptime & more, thanks to the power of decentralized infrastructure 💪

📊 Coming soon: free query plan 📊

Get started on The Graph Network for free! Ideal for small projects and experimentation, the free query plan allows a substantial number of free queries monthly. Transitioning to a paid plan is seamless when developers are ready to scale their data needs 📊

Simplified and user-friendly, the Sunray phase marks the completion of a major milestone in The Graph's Sunrise of Decentralized Data 🌅
