Break through blockchain complexity and get right to the data analysis. TL;DR: Pinax datasets simplify blockchain data access and analysis by handling the technical complexities behind the scenes. Our datasets address key challenges like extraction complexity, heavy data volume, and tool incompatibility by providing pre-processed blockchain data in easily queryable formats. Users can access historical chain data from multiple blockchains…
TL;DR: Matthew from Pinax presented on scaling Substreams, explaining how to set up and monitor tier 1 and tier 2 nodes for processing blockchain data. The architecture involves tier 1 nodes that are chain-specific and tier 2 nodes that are blockchain-agnostic. The setup requires monitoring through Prometheus and Grafana, with proper hardware sizing depending on specific Substreams workloads and complexity….
TL;DR: Rem from Edge & Node continues presenting GIP-0070, which proposes changes to The Graph’s protocol economics. The proposal aims to address three main goals: maintaining network balance, enhancing incentive alignment, and sustaining continuous improvement. Key changes include introducing network payments and network rewards to replace indexing rewards, implementing dynamic query fee cuts, and establishing a new curation mechanism that…
TL;DR: The Graph Networks Registry is a repository that consolidates and standardizes network information for blockchains supported by The Graph. Before its implementation, core dev teams and others faced challenges with fragmented data and manual updates, leading to inefficiencies and inconsistencies. The registry now serves as a single source of truth that enables developers, indexers, and delegators to access reliable…
TL;DR: Key points introduced during the open discussion about GIP-0081: Indexing Payments:- The motivation for this proposal is to design a developer-friendly way to get subgraphs indexed.- Indexing agreements will stipulate the subgraph to be indexed and the price per unit of “work done” indexing.- The proposal includes two clauses to protect the gateway: a maximum amount for initial syncing…
Learn how to use our Ethereum dataset with Snowflake to analyze blockchain data for insights like daily active users and top contracts. TL;DR: Discover how to analyze blockchain data efficiently using datasets from Pinax. Learn how our solution simplifies access to Ethereum data through Parquet files and managed databases like Snowflake, enabling SQL queries for extracting valuable insights like daily…
TL;DR: Yaniv introduced GRC-20, a new standard for knowledge graphs that can be used across applications. Christophe shared the current implementation, including three major components: a sink that uses Substreams to read on-chain events, Neo4j for storing entities, and a GraphQL API server for exposing data to consumer apps. Indexers will be able to choose which spaces they want to…
TL;DR: Pinax’s week in Bangkok started with side events like the Staking Summit, Datapalooza BKK, and the Decentralised Data Summit. The main event, Devcon SEA 2024, brought together 12,500 innovators from 130 countries at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, featuring six stages and numerous workshops. The conference emphasized collaboration over marketing, with notable discussions around decentralized science and connections…
TL;DR: Ricky shared his progress on indexer operations automation tools, including an Indexer Management Interface and a Curation Signal Allocation Optimizer. He showed several demo videos, including deleting subgraphs, quality of service metrics, and real-time ISA score. The session outlined a seven-step roadmap, with the ultimate goal being the integration of knowledge/note taking, AI agents, and a coding environment, all…
TL;DR: In 2024, Pinax expanded its blockchain data infrastructure to support 60+ chains and became a top-ten indexer on The Graph Network. We made significant technical contributions including saving Ethereum blobs and launching datasets on Snowflake Marketplace. Pinax also strengthened its community presence by tripling event participation, producing educational content, and expanding outreach to Asian communities. This past year, Pinax…
