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…
