A Message from Rodrigo Coelho, the New CEO at Edge & Node
The Graph’s first hire, Rodrigo Coelho has been appointed as the new CEO of Edge & Node. Rodrigo would like to share this message with all devs in The Graph Builders Newsletter:
The Graph is the backbone of a truly decentralized internet, and I’m honored to lead Edge & Node in advancing this vision. We’re not just supporting dapps—we’re empowering builders to unlock new possibilities for data, interoperability, and permissionless innovation. The future of web3 goes beyond subgraphs; it’s about reimagining how information flows and how value is created across the entire ecosystem.
graph-cli Enhancements: v0.94.0 & v0.95 Released
- v0.95 Release: Enhances error handling, added Sourcify for ABI lookups, and expands subgraph configuration options.
- v0.94.0 Fixes: Resolves `graph init` issues from v0.93.x.
9 Time & Money Saving Subgraph Optimizations
There are a total of 9 time and money-saving subgraph optimizations shared in a recent .
Let’s take a look at #3: “Leverage Immutable Entities”
Best For: Event-heavy applications like token transfer trackers or transaction analytics dashboards.
Immutable entities are ideal for storing data that doesn't change, such as on-chain events. They improve both indexing and query performance by eliminating unnecessary updates and filters.
How to Define Immutable Entities:
Add the (immutable: true) directive to your schema. See the above 🔼 image for an example.
Read this and this to learn more about the performance improvements of using Immutable Entities, then to improve your experience with subgraphs!
$0 Chain Integrations: Expanding Decentralized Access
The Graph continues its zero-cost chain integration initiative, making decentralized indexing more accessible. If your chain seeks integration, !
Soneium Mainnet: The Graph from Day One
On January 14th, Soneium launched its mainnet, and The Graph was integrated from day one. Developers can now utilize The Graph’s indexing solutions to create data-driven, decentralized applications on Soneium. Stay tuned for further updates!
Expanding Network Support
January introduced seven new blockchain networks to The Graph’s ecosystem, bringing the total to nearly 100(!) chains:
- Sonic
- Hemi
- EXPchain Polyhedra
- Soneium
- Japan Open Chain
- Lumia
- Mint
Onwards!
