ETHGlobal Buenos Aires 2025 Bounties

Best Use of Amp Datasets (3 awards): 1st - $3,000 | 2nd - $2,000 | 3rd - $1,000

• Rewarding the most compelling end-to-end product built on Amp datasets. Builders should demonstrate how Amp datasets can power real-world insights, analytics, alerts, agent workflows, risk dashboards, or user experiences across DeFi, NFTs, RWAs, or AI.
• Examples include (1) Cross-chain portfolio dashboard that aggregates wallet positions and liquidity using Amp token datasets; (2) Risk analytics or MEV monitor that visualizes transaction patterns or protocol surface exposure; (3) NFT trait liquidity explorer that ranks collections by floor depth and trading velocity using Amp NFT datasets.

Best Use of The Graph for AI Use Cases (1 award): 1st - $2,000

• Recognizing projects that connect The Graph’s products in AI or autonomous agent workflows (including Token API MCP, Subgraph MCP, or Substreams to train AI models). Builders should focus on intelligent data consumption, decision-making, or automation using verifiable onchain data.
• Examples include (1) Using The Graph’s Token API in ChatGPT 5 to create a new AI agent that pulls onchain data for a novel use cases like onchain accounting for a DAO or real-time trading across multiple chains; (2) AI trading or monitoring agent that queries Token API price and liquidity data through the Token API MCP server; (3) Governance summarizer bot that pulls DAO data from Subgraphs MCP to generate natural-language updates.

Best Use of Subgraph Advanced Features (One Award): 1st - $2,000

• Awarding innovative use of two or more advanced Subgraph features (i.e. Subgraph Dev Mode, Composition, Aggregations, or Declarative eth_calls). Projects should highlight faster development cycles, modular data design, and advanced querying powered by Subgraphs on The Graph Network using these new features.
• Examples include (1) Real-time DeFi analytics Subgraph combining Aggregations + eth_calls to show onchain metrics like APR or TVL; (2) Composable Subgraph suite that merges multiple community Subgraphs for the same chain (DEXs, lending, governance) into a unified API; (3) Developer toolkit or Subgraph simulator that leverages Dev Mode to accelerate Subgraph iteration and testing during the hackathon.

Hackathon Support

Here are helpful ways to support your hackathon experience with The Graph:

• The Graph Builders Telegram Channel
  ☝️ The Graph’s Support Engineers will be here during sponsored hackathons.
• The Graph Discord
• The GraphDevs Twitter
• The Graph Builders Newsletter

Supported Networks

These are the  networks  that The Graph currently indexes.

Examples Repository

Repository that showcases various examples of how to build with The Graph’s products

Token API

The Graph’s Token API  is a quick and easy way to fetch token, wallet, price and NFT data.

• [Docs] Token API Quickstart
• [Tooling] Query Token API data for AI Use Cases via Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• [Tutorial] Create ChatGPT agents using Token API data

Subgraphs

Subgraphs are customizable APIs that are optimized for indexing smart contract events. You can create net new Subgraphs using the guides below, leverage thousands of existing public Subgraphs via Graph Explorer, or query a Subgraph with AI assistants using Subgraph MCP.

Querying Subgraphs

Discover publicly available Subgraph endpoints on  The Graph Explorer.

Subgraph Best Practices

1. Improve Query Speed with Subgraph Pruning
2. Improve Indexing and Query Responsiveness By Using @derivedFrom
3. Improve Performance Using Immutable Entities and Bytes as IDs
4. Improve Indexing Speed by Avoiding eth_calls
5. Simplify and Optimize with Timeseries and Aggregations
6. Grafting for Quick Hotfix Deployment

Amp

Amp is a blockchain-native database designed to transform smart contract activity into queryable tables

About The Graph

The Graph  is the leading indexing and query protocol powering the decentralized internet. Since launching in 2018, it has empowered tens of thousands of developers to effortlessly build  Subgraphs  and leverage  Substreams  across countless blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Celo, Soneium, and Avalanche. With powerful tools like Substreams and Token API, The Graph delivers high-performance, real-time access to onchain data. From low-latency indexing to rapid token data, it serves as the premier solution for building composable, data drive dapps.

Discover more about how The Graph is shaping the future of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and stay connected with the community. Follow The Graph on  X,  LinkedIn,  Instagram,  Facebook,  Reddit,  Farcaster  and  Medium. Join the community on The Graph’s  Telegram, join technical discussions on The Graph’s  Discord.

The Graph Foundation  oversees The Graph Network.  Edge & Node,  StreamingFast,  Semiotic Labs,  GraphOps and  Pinax  are seven of the many organizations within The Graph ecosystem.
