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…
TL;DR: Yaniv introduced GRC-20, a new standard for knowledge graphs that can be used across applications. Christophe shared the current implementation, including three major components: a sink that uses Substreams to read on-chain events, Neo4j for storing entities, and a GraphQL API server for exposing data to consumer apps. Indexers will be able to choose which spaces they want to…

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…
