gm web3 builders,
Thank you for hopping into The Graph Builders Newsletter #9 - September 2023 where we share important builder-focused news coming from The Graph ecosystem ๐๏ธ
Let's dive in!
Topics for September 2023
- Major performance boost for Substreams-powered subgraphs
- DataSourceContext in the manifest
endBlock
now available in the manifest
- Join The Graph BuildersDAO
- Try The Graph Billing Subscription Beta Program
๐ผ Previewing Upcoming Subgraph Features in graph-node
0.33.0 ๐ผ
In last month's , we saw snippets demonstrating such as Arweave support, File Data Sources spawning File Data Sources, polling block handlers, and initialization handlers. All of this was made possible by the graph-node
0.32.0โs release. What a month!
We are now preparing for graph-node
0.33.0โs release which should be coming out soon! This update will bring some significant upgrades:
DataSourceContext
In The Subgraph Manifest
Passing data from one handler to another handler while templating was previously possible in our subgraphs mappings through using , but now this feature is available in our subgraph.yaml
!
This feature will be useful for templating chain-specific data in subgraphs that use the same codebase across multiple chains. Once 0.33.0 is released, check it out!
endBlock
Defined in subgraph.yaml
When building a subgraph, we define the startBlock
from which the subgraph begins its indexing. Now, we also have endBlock
to refine our subgraphs focus to only a specific set of blocks!
Major performance boost incoming Substreams-powered subgraphs
Significant performance improvements have been achieved for substreams-based subgraphs by moving substreams processing to the block.
published to The Graph Network are a key part improving the speed and unbreakable nature of decentralized indexing. , then publish that Substreams-powered subgraph to The Graph Network to ensure your data pipeline is decentralized!

The Graph will be represented at and as well - we hope to see you there!
Want to Participate in The Graph Ecosystem?
โ๏ธ Build with The Graph BuildersDAO โ๏ธ
The Graph BuildersDAO is a community of collaborative developers who provide their building services to dapps and protocols.
This collaborative community is looking for builders with various levels of experience in smart contracts, Rust, frontend frameworks, DevOps, subgraphs and Substreams to join and participate on a variety of projects.
Also, if thereโs a project that needs some builder-power, The Graph BuildersDAO is a great resource that can build a custom subgraph or Substream! !
โ Sign Up For The Graph Billing Subscriptions Beta Program โ
The Graph Billing Subscriptions is an alternative to The Graphโs existing Pay As You Go billing system that we hope will simplify payments to just โset it and forget itโ.
for The Graph Subscriptions Beta!
