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…
TL;DR: The open discussion focused on Blast, an Ethereum L2 based on the OP Stack:- Blast offers native yield for ETH and stablecoins, automatically rebasing account balances.- Gas revenue sharing allows dApps to claim gas fees spent on their contracts.- Running a Blast node is similar to other OP Stack chains, with some specific requirements and considerations. Opening remarks Hello…

The discussion also touched on bridging LXC containers to Kubernetes and using Crossplane for managing external endpoints. Opening remarks Hello everyone, and welcome…
Explore updates on Substreams tools, Graph Horizon, and the Subgraph Service. TL;DR: Core Dev Call #31 highlighted three key updates for The Graph: – Substreams Codegen: New tools to simplify Substreams-powered subgraph development. – Graph Horizon (GIP-0066): A modular protocol for diverse data services. – Subgraph Service (GIP-0068): Major improvements to subgraph indexing. Core Dev Calls are meetings where core…
TL;DR: The open discussion section covered three main topics:- Gustavo from Semiotic Labs presented updates on indexer-rs and TAP, including new configuration options and features for indexer-service and indexer-agent.- Ricky from Edge & Node shared a tutorial on data analytics for indexers, demonstrating tools for automating indexer operations and analyzing subgraph performance.- Guillaume and Matthew from Pinax introduced a Kubernetes…
TL;DR: The open discussion focused on the Firehose chart developed by the GraphOps team for Launchpad, a Kubernetes toolkit for indexers. Carlos from GraphOps presented on Kubernetes basics, Helm charts, and the Firehose-Ethereum chart, demonstrating its deployment flexibility. The team invited indexers to try Launchpad and send any feedback their way. Opening remarks Hello everyone, and welcome to episode 178…
TL;DR: Indexers discuss moving to the new payment system (TAP), that they need to wait for the next indexer agent release before moving, and why not everyone should move at the same time. They also talked about the state of indexer documentation and the need to have one place to retrieve up-to-date information that aligns with releases. IOH welcomed two…
TL;DR: In episode 176 of The Graph Indexer Office Hours, key topics included indexers sharing their experiences with switching to the Timeline Allocation Protocol (TAP), troubleshooting issues with the indexer-agent during upgrades, and configuring ingress endpoints for the public indexer URL. Participants also delved into managing subgraph deployments across multiple nodes, utilizing indexing rules, and bringing to light an off-chain…
TL;DR: The Graph has released Timeline Aggregation Protocol (TAP), a new payment system that minimizes trust and allows for multiple gateways. The release includes a new indexer-service-rs, which replaces the current indexer service and offers improved stability and performance. Indexers are encouraged to migrate to TAP soon, with the old indexer service expected to be deprecated in a few months….
