TL;DR: Major indexers, including Pinax and Upgrade Indexer, have completed their TAP migration. Multiple indexers reported issues with Graph Node v0.36.0, including PostgreSQL performance problems and migration difficulties. It was noted that v0.36.0 is not yet ratified for production use. Upcoming sessions will feature Yaniv Tal discussing GRC-20: Knowledge Graph, Ricky on indexer analytics, and Vince covering Kubernetes and Launchpad….
Exciting news for Scroll developers! Pinax has launched RPC, Firehose, and Substreams endpoints for Scroll and Scroll Sepolia. Why This Matters Scroll’s EVM-equivalent zkRollup technology and seamless Ethereum compatibility make it a prime platform for decentralized application developers and blockchain innovators. However, accessing and processing the vast amounts of data generated by the network can be a challenge. Pinax’s new…
TL;DR: The Graph is evolving to transform how we organize and verify on-chain information through knowledge graphs, enabling communities to collectively determine truth and organize knowledge in a decentralized way. Through new tools and standards like GRC-20, we’re moving toward a future where AI systems can access trusted, comprehensive data for training and decision-making. This transformation pushes us closer to…
TL;DR: During IOH #185’s open discussion, the focus was on the Timeline Aggregation Protocol (TAP) migration status, which has reached approximately 82% of queries with two major indexers still pending. A key highlight was the discussion of a zero-downtime upgrade strategy using reverse proxy routing for the Upgrade Indexer, which is critical as it serves as a single point of…
TL;DR: The Graph’s TAP (Timeline Aggregation Protocol) migration deadline is December 3, 2024, with about 34% of indexers already upgraded, representing 81.6% of query volume. The Q&A discussion focused on configuration settings for TAP, particularly around RAV (Receipt Aggregate Voucher) requests and managing unaggregated fees, with experts recommending starting with default values and adjusting based on query volume. Opening remarks…
Discover how we’re building our datasets for exceptional efficiency, ease of use, and performance. TL;DR: Pinax’s datasets simplify blockchain data access using Parquet files and S3. This combination provides efficient storage, accelerated query performance, and seamless integration with various analytics tools. Raw blockchain data is structured using SQL schema, making it readily available for analysis. Our datasets offer a user-friendly…
Pinax was in Shanghai to help The Graph take students through an on-chain data workshop. TL;DR: Pinax helped The Graph present an on-chain data workshop at Fudan University during Shanghai Blockchain Week, introducing students to web3 and AI technologies. The event featured presentations on decentralized data architecture, on-chain data streams, and subgraph building, and included a hackathon. Pinax was on…
Exciting news for Solana developers! Pinax has launched the beta version of its Firehose and Substreams endpoints for Solana. Why this matters Solana’s high-speed and low-cost transactions make it a prime platform for decentralized applications (dApps). However, accessing and processing the vast amounts of data generated by the network can be a challenge. Pinax’s new endpoints aim to change that…
TL;DR: Vince introduces Talos Linux, a lightweight and secure Linux distribution designed for Kubernetes, demonstrating its installation, configuration, and management capabilities. He shows the Talos Forge tool he created to convince another indexer to try Kubernetes and KubeSpan for creating hybrid clusters. The Q&A addresses topics like control plane setup, bare metal deployment, and comparisons with other tools like Launchpad….
TL;DR: An inspector in The Graph ecosystem discovered and reported an indexer submitting incorrect Proof of Indexing (POI) for unsynced subgraphs. The arbitration process resulted in a slashing penalty for the disputed indexer. This case highlights the crucial role of vigilant community members in maintaining the reliability and fairness of The Graph Network. Imagine uncovering faulty behavior in a decentralized…
