A subgraph by @0xProject is live on The Graph’s decentralized network! 🪄

0x is a liquidity aggregator used to power DeFi dapps like @matchaxyz, which enables people to trade on multiple DEXes at once.

How is 0x’s subgraph used on Matcha? ⬇️ 0x uses a subgraph to provide @matchaxyz users with detailed history of their swaps🔀

The 0x subgraph tracks events emitted by the 0x Protocol’s smart contracts, making it easy to compose a history of user activity neatly within Matcha’s user interface💡

Paying for queries on The Graph Network is now as easy as swiping a credit card! 💳

You asked for an easier way to use The Graph & The Graph’s core devs listened.

Now you can pay your query fee balance via debit or credit card, thanks to the new @BanxaOfficial fiat onramp 💱 The default option for billing on the decentralized network involves getting GRT & moving it to your Arbitrum billing balance.

With the new @BanxaOfficial widget, replenishing your billing balance for query fees is seamless.

Simply pay by card—your GRT loads in automatically 🪄

Blockchain utility & adoption is growing 🌱

Blockchains work as public ledgers, transparently recording every transaction.

One major issue with this public record? There’s a lot of data that’s difficult to read & sort.

Here’s how The Graph fixes that ⬇️thegraph.com/blog/introduct… When designing a snappy front-end & UX, data accessibility is key 📊

The early internet was awkward & clunky. It was difficult, if not impossible, to find what you wanted. Then came search engines.

Search engines made the web more convenient thanks to indexed search results.

The subgraph for @slice__so is live on The Graph’s decentralized network! 🍰

Slice is a decentralized commerce protocol that enables on-chain sales of anything—physical goods, digital collectibles & more: slice.so Slice enables users to sell anything (NFTs, services & physical items alike) on-chain & split payment between multiple addresses 💵

Slice uses ERC-1155 tokens as “slices,” or fractionalized NFTs, to represent ownership—which can be transferred or sold on NFT marketplaces.

The Graph's hosted service has completed a beta integration with @bobanetwork 🧋

Now devs can build on Boba using subgraphs! Boba is an Ethereum Layer 2 Optimistic Rollup scaling solution which supports both web2 & web3 data.

What does this beta integration mean?⬇️ @bobanetwork supports Ethereum devs by:
✨ reducing gas fees
✨ improving transaction throughput
✨ integrating VRF (verifiable random function) features
✨ enabling smart contract calls to off-chain RPCs

Boba extends Ethereum capabilities for a faster, less costly experience.

1/ Brand new to web3? Simply learning more? Here’s how you can start participating with The Graph today ⚡

In this thread you’ll learn about The Graph ecosystem & how to start contributing as a Developer, Indexer, Curator, or Delegator.

Let’s get started! ⬇️🧵 2/ What is The Graph?

The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying blockchain networks like Ethereum, NEAR, IPFS, & most widely used EVM-compatible blockchains like Polygon, Arbitrum, & Optimism.

More subgraphs are migrating to The Graph Network ✨

Enter @BeanstalkFarms—a scalable, censorship-resistant stablecoin built on Ethereum🌱

Analytics on the Beanstalk dapp are powered by subgraphs in a fully decentralized way. Read on 🔍🔽 Beanstalk can scale to meet growing stablecoin demand through its credit mechanism.

Instead of relying on a centralized treasury, Beanstalk attracts lenders & rewards them with future Bean mints.

A new path to participate in web3 & The Graph is here🌟

With the launch of the Graph Advocates, every kind of dreamer & doer is welcome to collaborate, learn from one another, & contribute to the future of web3.

Learn more about Graph Advocates & apply: thegraph.com/blog/graph-adv… Graph Advocates, whether brand new to web3 or longtime contributors, will meet members of The Graph ecosystem, expand their knowledge of The Graph & web3 infrastructure, attend & organize events, receive exclusive swag & multiply their opportunities to build & grow in this space.

Last quarter, The Graph community continued to drive web3 adoption & illuminate the many possibilities unlocked by a vibrant, decentralized future.

Let's take a look at stats within The Graph ecosystem over Q4 of last year 🧵 In December alone, The Graph’s hosted service served over 60 billion queries 🔍

In all of Q4 2021, 157 billion hosted service queries were served—more than 1.7 billion queries daily!

Over 450 billion lifetime queries have been served 🤯

The only web3 stack that will survive the test of time is a fully decentralized stack.

A thread ⬇️🧵 The explosion of growth in both web3 usage & development has led to a cobbling-together of highly-centralized services assuming the web3 label.

Many, like @EmilyGorcenski, are noticing, & if not addressed, everyone else will too.

A year after The Graph Network launch, it's home to 150+ Indexers, 2,300+ Curators & 8,000+ Delegators, weaving a lattice of web3 collaboration.

These contributors are using GRT to provide core data services to dapps.

On The Graph Network’s 1st Birthday, let’s recap the year🧵 Usage of The Graph can be viewed as a proxy for web3 development activity.

Developers building & querying subgraphs have consistently grown ~14% MoM (550% YoY) & accelerated in July with the launch of Subgraph Studio. Looking forward to welcoming the next wave of builders! 👨‍💻👩‍💻

Did you miss the latest monthly core devs meeting?

Developer updates, discussion on the Solana integration & the role of The Graph in EIP-4444 were covered. Watch the full meeting here:

Read on for the highlights!🧵 @edgeandnode

Indexers should update to the latest versions of indexer-service & graph-node!

GIP-0020 has been implemented, allowing indexers to quit executing a query without risk of slashing.

Planning is in progress for graph-node to support multiple file data sources.

The Graph Foundation is happy to welcome the leading GraphQL development team @TheGuildDev as a core developer!

The Guild has been awarded $48 million from @graphgrants to contribute to subgraph & protocol R&D to build out API features! #GraphQL 🔍✨🧵

thegraph.com/blog/guild-ann… .@TheGuildDev is a top open-source developer group with experience building GraphQL tooling for top Fortune 500 companies & the open-source community. They create & maintain some of the most widely-used GraphQL tools & are an official GraphQL Foundation core member 👨‍💻👩‍💻

As announced at @SolanaConf, The Graph's hosted service is integrating @solana. The integration, led by @streamingfastio, will use the Firehose, enabling faster indexing.

Working with @ProjectSerum & Solana devs, the ecosystem plans to improve the Solana development experience🧵 The integration will address existing friction points for dapp builders. The Graph will make it easier for developers to:
✅ Query the Solana blockchain
✅ Access historical data
✅ Visualize data analytics

...& more!
