Fair Use Policy

Overview

This outlines storage limits for Subgraphs that rely solely on Edge & Node’s Upgrade Indexer. This policy is designed to ensure fair and optimized use of queries across the community.

To maintain performance and reliability across its infrastructure, Edge & Node is updating its Upgrade Indexer Subgraph storage policy. Free usage tiers remain available, but users who exceed specified limits will need to upgrade to a paid plan. Storage allocations and thresholds vary by feature.

1. Scope

This policy applies to all individual users, teams, chains, and dapps using Edge & Node’s Upgrade Indexer in Subgraph Studio for storage and queries.

2. Fair Use Storage Limits

Free Storage: Up to 10 GB

Beyond that, pricing is variable and adjusts based on usage patterns, network conditions, infrastructure requirements, and specific use cases. Reach out to the Edge & Node team⁠ to discuss options that meet your needs.

You can monitor your usage via Subgraph Studio.

3. Fair Use Limits

To preserve the stability of Edge & Node’s Subgraph Studio and preserve the reliability of The Graph Network, the Edge & Node Support Team will monitor storage usage and take corresponding action with Subgraphs that have:

• Abnormally high or sustained bandwidth or storage usage beyond posted limits.
• Circumvention of storage thresholds (e.g., use of multiple free-tier accounts).

The Edge & Node Support Team reserves the right to revise storage limits or impose temporary constraints for operational integrity.

If you exceed your included storage:

• You will receive an email alert.
• A grace period of 7 days will be provided to take the following options:
  1. Publish your Subgraph to the Network and add signal to encourage other Indexers on the network to serve it. If your Subgraph is on a chain without indexer rewards, but you’d like to get it indexed, you can work directly with independent Indexers. Contact @jmulq on Telegram or email InfraDAO⁠ to discuss options.
  2. Try pruning Subgraph data to remove unused entities to bring storage below the 10 GB threshold.

Edge & Node’s team is committed to helping users avoid unnecessary interruptions and will continue to support all builders.

4. Subgraph Data Retention

Subgraphs inactive for over 7 days or Subgraphs that exceed free-tier storage limits, will be subject to automatic data archival or deletion. Edge & Node’s team will notify you before any such actions are taken.

5. Support

If you believe your usage is incorrectly flagged or have unique use cases (e.g. approved special request pending new Subgraph upgrade plan), reach out to Edge & Node team⁠.
