Al escalar The Graph en L2, los participantes de la red pueden esperar:

• Upwards of 26x savings on gas fees

• Mayor velocidad de transacción

• Security inherited from Ethereum

Scaling the protocol smart contracts onto L2 allows network participants to interact more frequently at a reduced cost in gas fees. For example, Indexers could open and close allocations to index a greater number of subgraphs with greater frequency, developers could deploy and update subgraphs with greater ease, Delegators could delegate GRT with increased frequency, and Curators could add or remove signal to a larger number of subgraphs–actions previously considered too cost-prohibitive to perform frequently due to gas.

The Graph community decided to move forward with Arbitrum last year after the outcome of the GIP-0031 discussion.

The Graph’s billing system accepts GRT on Arbitrum, and users will need ETH on Arbitrum to pay their gas. While The Graph protocol started on Ethereum Mainnet, all activity, including the billing contracts, is now on Arbitrum One.

Consequently, to pay for queries, you need GRT on Arbitrum. Here are a few different ways to achieve this:

• If you already have GRT on Ethereum, you can bridge it to Arbitrum. You can do this via the GRT bridging option provided in Subgraph Studio or by using one of the following bridges:

  • The Arbitrum Bridge
  • TransferTo

• If you have other assets on Arbitrum, you can swap them for GRT through a swapping protocol like Uniswap.

• Alternatively, you can acquire GRT directly on Arbitrum through a decentralized exchange.

Once you have GRT on Arbitrum, you can add it to your billing balance.

There is no immediate action required, however, network participants are encouraged to begin moving to Arbitrum to take advantage of the benefits of L2.

Core developer teams are working to create L2 transfer tools that will make it significantly easier to move delegation, curation, and subgraphs to Arbitrum. Network participants can expect L2 transfer tools to be available by summer of 2023.

A partir del 10 de abril de 2023, el 5% de todas las recompensas de indexación se están generando en Arbitrum. A medida que aumenta la participación en la red, y según lo apruebe el Council, las recompensas de indexación se desplazarán gradualmente de Ethereum a Arbitrum, moviéndose eventualmente por completo a Arbitrum.

All smart contracts have been thoroughly audited.

Everything has been tested thoroughly, and a contingency plan is in place to ensure a safe and seamless transition. Details can be found here.

Sí, los contratos de The Graph Network operarán en paralelo tanto en Ethereum como en Arbitrum hasta que pasen completamente a Arbitrum en una fecha posterior.

Yes, GRT has an additional smart contract on Arbitrum. However, the Ethereum mainnet GRT contract will remain operational.

¡Nada! Tu GRT se ha migrado de forma segura a Arbitrum y se está utilizando para pagar consultas mientras lees esto.

All GRT billing balances have already been successfully migrated to Arbitrum. You can view the billing contract on Arbitrum here.

The bridge has been heavily audited to ensure safety and security for all users.

Adding GRT to your Arbitrum billing balance can be done with a one-click experience in Subgraph Studio. You'll be able to easily bridge your GRT to Arbitrum and fill your API keys in one transaction.
