TL;DR - All hosted service users must upgrade their subgraphs to the decentralized network by June 12. Get started in your hosted service dashboard.

What's Happening?

In October, The Graph ecosystem put together a plan and committed to executing on the Sunrise of Decentralized Data, enabling all hosted service users to upgrade their subgraphs to The Graph Network. Today, Sunbeam, the second phase of the Sunrise of Decentralized Data has started, marking the beginning of the Upgrade Window.

The Upgrade Window begins today and ends on June 12 where hosted service users must upgrade their subgraphs to The Graph Network, with support of recently launched features including:

• 100,000 free queries per month
• Easy payments by credit card or GRT
• Gasless upgrades for all hosted service subgraphs

It’s important to note that at the end of the Upgrade Window, hosted service endpoints will no longer be operational. Upgrade now via your hosted service dashboard.

About The Graph

The Graph is the source of data and information for the decentralized internet. As the original decentralized data marketplace that introduced and standardized subgraphs, The Graph has become web3’s method of indexing and accessing blockchain data. Since its launch in 2018, tens of thousands of developers have built subgraphs for dapps across 80+ blockchains - including  Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Celo, Fantom, Gnosis, and Avalanche.

As demand for data in web3 continues to grow, The Graph enters a New Era with a more expansive vision including new data services and query languages, ensuring the decentralized protocol can serve any use case - now and into the future.
