TL;DR: Join Indexer Office Hours #132 to learn about the latest updates on The Graph protocol, including support for Ronin mainnet, decimal Smart Chain integration, auto grafting feature, and more.
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another Indexer Office Hours!
We’re excited to be back to discuss indexing with you. We’ll be covering a variety of topics, including:
- Repo watch: We’ll look at the latest repository developments in indexing and discuss them.
- Protocol watch: We’ll explore the latest Graph protocol updates and how they affect your indexing experience.
- Project watch: We’ll highlight some of the most interesting projects using The Graph and what they’re building.
- Open discussion: We’ll open the floor for questions and discussion so you can get your questions answered by our team of experts.
You can learn more about our office hours, including how to join and what to expect, at The Graph’s Indexer Office Hours Notion page.
So, whether you’re a seasoned indexer or just starting, we hope you’ll join us for office hours. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

- How does market power impact the decentralization of The Graph ecosystem?
- What are some potential solutions to mitigate the risks of market power?
JIP 58
- JIP 58 is a new proposal allowing indexers to allocate to subgraphs on all chains, not just those with indexing rewards.
- Some indexers have expressed concern that this could lead to centralization.
- Justin from Edge & Node, a proposer of JIP 58, discussed the proposal and answered questions from the community.
L2 rewards bump
