The Graph Builders Newsletter #28
gm builders 👋
I am , started as a Volunteer Graph Advocate and now working as a Technical Support Engineer at Edge & Node. I’m stepping in to take over The Graph Builders Monthly Newsletter from .
I'm excited to share new feature updates, product launches, and best tips and tricks I've learned as a support engineer from working alongside builders in the trenches.
Enough about me, now let's dive into April’s developer oriented updates. This past month was all about scale, speed, and smoother dev workflows. From major new chain integrations to powerful Subgraph Explorer upgrades and indexing innovations.
Let’s dive in 👇
🧪 Token API Beta – Now with Historical Data + UniV3
Fast, composable, and AI-accessible.
The Token API Beta 2nd release is here and it’s stacked:
💾 Historical token balances
🪙 Historical token prices
🦄 UniV3 pricing integration
➕ Support for Unichain
💻 Demo Repos:
🧰 Dev Tips: Better Subgraphs, Smoother Experience
7 quick wins to supercharge your subgraph building experience which makes faster indexing, cleaner code, and fewer headaches.
🔍 Explorer Upgrade – What’s Most Queried?
Find the top-used subgraphs instantly.
Now in Subgraph Explorer, sort by “Most Queried” to discover high-demand data sources you can build on. Plus: you can now search by contract address to instantly find subgraphs related to specific smart contracts 🔎
🌐 Solana Sidetracks at Breakout Hackathon – $15K in Prizes
The Graph is powering Solana indexing challenges in Earn’s global Breakout Hackathon! Submit a Solana Substreams for:
🔹 AI Agents
🔹 Real-time Analytics
🔹 Wormhole-specific Substreams
Want some inspiration on how building Substreams looks like, you should definitely look at this by TopLedger.
🚨 🛠️ Subgraph Studio Updates: Keep It Lean & Live
Heads up: The Support Team noticed an increase in user questions around receiving 429s on Dev Query endpoints (api.studio.thegraph.com). What's up with that?
The dev query endpoint in Subgraph Studio now has a rate limit of 3000 queries/day.
Want to avoid this issue in the future? your subgraph to the network.
Additionally, devs can now only have a maximum of 3 subgraphs in 'Deployed' state in Subgraph Studio. However, users can publish as many subgraphs as they want to production on the network or easily archive unused subgraphs in Studio to free up space for new subgraphs.
⚠️ Substreams Powered Subgraphs (SPS) Support Winding Down
Starting May 31, 2025, users will not be able to publish or query Substreams-powered Subgraphs (SpS) in Subgraph Studio (with the exception of Starknet subgraphs, which will be supported until July 15). Users will be able to use older versions of Graph Node to run SpS locally or query SpS through Indexers that offer this service on The Graph Network. If you currently rely on Substreams-powered Subgraphs, we highly recommend transitioning to Substreams. You can start using Substreams directly or connect with the StreamingFast team in the #substreams Discord channel to discuss alternative sink solutions that meet your needs.
