GRC-20 Needs Developer Feedback!

Help shape the future of GRC-20, the new data spec being tested as the future of data interoperability by following these three steps:

1. Read the GRC-20 announcement and watch Yaniv Tal’s workshop on GRC-20.

2: Read the GRC-20 spec.

3: Share your thoughts on these questions in The Graph Forum:

Does the current GRC-20 spec...

• have the best way of representing IDs?
• have the right native types?
• need parquet files?
• make the right tradeoffs regarding validation?

EthGlobal Bangkok Winners

Congratulations to the incredible winners of ETHGlobal Bangkok 2024, who showcased groundbreaking projects powered by The Graph’s. Here’s a look at the top teams and their projects!

🏆 Grand Prize – Best Use of The Graph: Perkly

Perkly bridges Web2 shopping with Web3 rewards by offering tokens, NFTs, lucky draws, and dynamic perks like Flash Fridays. The team deployed multiple subgraphs with advanced features like time-series data and full-text search. Built by Eugene, Aden, and Jeng.

🥈 Runner-Up: Noodles.fun

Noodles.fun lets users speculate on creators’ visibility on X and purchase direct exposure through featured posts. They leveraged Scaffold-ETH with Enums for efficient calculations. Built by @PautardR @MaxMartelo @mickael_btc and @AnthonyGourraud

🥉 3rd Prize: DegenOS

DegenOS is a decentralized OS offering six Web3 tools like DeFi metrics, token swaps, and social lookups, powered by Uniswap data indexing. Built by @prathmeshr14, @mBinCrypto, @SuriPuri23 and @KaushtubhAgraw1

🥉 3rd Prize: Tontine Money

Tontine reimagines community savings in emerging markets, helping users save, earn rewards, and build financial habits via MiniPay and Telegram. @slovaye, @thibault_mthh, @abena_eth, Gabriel and Pierre

🏅 Best Substreams: Miracam

Miracam mints verified image NFTs using hardware-generated signatures and encrypted wallet-controlled storage for privacy. The team used Substreams to enrich on-chain metadata. Built by @janellenjj, @junyaoc_eth, @yikkai95 and @NgYongFeng98

The Scaffold-ETH Subgraph Extension

Did you know that Scaffold-ETH has an extension designed specifically to enable subgraphs?

Join Edge & Node DevRel Kevin Jones in this Scaffold-ETH workshop to learn how to build with Scaffold-ETH and its subgraph extension. NOTE: The subgraph extension segment starts at the 55-minute mark.

Subgraph Composition is Coming…

Subgraphs as a datasource?

Subgraphs built on top of other subgraphs?

Yes please!

Take a sneak-peek at a beta repository featuring subgraph composition and stay tuned for launch.

Delete Your Unused Subgraphs

We can now clean up our subgraph dashboard by deleting unused subgraphs! Give it a go and tidy up your workspace.

The Graph Developer Survey

Building The Graph Network is a collaborative effort, and the core devs would love to hear your feedback!

Thanks for reading and happy building! 💌
