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…
blockchain indexing
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…
TL;DR: Rem from Edge & Node discussed the proposal for evolving The Graph protocol economics. The proposal aims to better meet participant needs, with this discussion focusing on consumers and providers (indexers), particularly aligning incentives with value delivery and transitioning to a demand-driven network. A key change involves having gateways play a larger role in matching indexers to consumer demands…
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….
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…
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…
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…
TL;DR: The open discussion focused on Kubernetes, led by Guillaume and Matthew from Pinax. They covered topics such as testing Kubernetes apps with kind, bootstrapping clusters with FluxCD, and using Helm with Flux to deploy Launchpad charts. The discussion also touched on bridging LXC containers to Kubernetes and using Crossplane for managing external endpoints. Opening remarks Hello everyone, and welcome…
