If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure to check out Messari’s Q4 2023 on The Graph! https://messari.io/report/state-of-the-graph-q4-2023 Here’s a preview: - As of Q4'23, 1509 subgraphs have been published from The Graph’s hosted service to the decentralized network, up 14% QoQ and 144% YoY. - Indexing rewards decreased by 6% QoQ and 7% YoY in GRT terms, as the GRT annual inflation was below 3% throughout 2023. In USD terms, indexing rewards grew by 24% QoQ to nearly 10 million USD, driven by an increase in GRT/USD exchange rate. - Demand-side revenue in USD dropped 10% QoQ and 65% YoY, driven by query price optimizations. In GRT terms, demand-side revenue decreased 25% QoQ and 80% YoY.

🌅 The Sunray phase of the Sunrise has begun! The upgrade Indexer is live, and with that, phase 1 of the Sunrise of Decentralized Data has begun. The Sunray phase marks the first of three in the journey towards the Sunrise of Decentralized Data 🎉 What does the upgrade Indexer mean for The Graph ecosystem? ⛓️ New chains available on The Graph Network ⛓️ Chains that were previously only available on the hosted service are now available on The Graph Network! Web3 devs can publish subgraphs across dozens of chains. This includes popular ecosystems such as Base, BNB Chain, Optimism and 20+ more! This is a huge step toward full support for more networks on The Graph! ⚡ Seamless subgraph updates ⚡ Thanks to the upgrade Indexer, new subgraph versions will be available to be queried virtually immediately after updating. What else does the Sunray phase unlock in the coming months? 👀 ✨ Coming soon: streamlined upgrade interface ✨ Core devs are developing an easy-to-use upgrade interface for upgrading hosted service subgraphs to The Graph Network – enabling every developer building on The Graph to take advantage of the network’s superior quality of service, fast syncing speeds, ultra-reliable uptime & more, thanks to the power of decentralized infrastructure 💪 📊 Coming soon: free query plan 📊 Get started on The Graph Network for free! Ideal for small projects and experimentation, the free query plan allows a substantial number of free queries monthly. Transitioning to a paid plan is seamless when developers are ready to scale their data needs 📊 Simplified and user-friendly, the Sunray phase marks the completion of a major milestone in The Graph's Sunrise of Decentralized Data 🌅 If you want your dapp to be powered by The Graph Network, reach out and apply for an upgrade grant before it's too late! upgrade@thegraph.foundation

The Sunrise of Decentralized Data means more than democratizing access to open data; it provides an explosion of opportunities for The Graph Network 🌅 As developers upgrade subgraphs to The Graph Network, Delegators gain new perspective over which Indexers to delegate to. Each newly upgraded subgraph represents a unique opportunity for Indexers to showcase their query serving capabilities, and for Delegators, this translates to a broader spectrum of choices when it comes to delegating their GRT. Delegators play a crucial role in strengthening the network by allocating their GRT to Indexers. Delegation is an active endorsement of Indexers’ vital role in organizing the world's public data. As the network expands, delegation becomes a stronger signal indicative of which Indexers are serving the data needs of web3 and its growing use cases. This new chapter of growth empowers Delegators to venture beyond a generalist approach to delegation. For example, as Indexers specialize in different blockchains and use cases, Delegators can strategically delegate to those aligned with their vision or personal interests—be it NFTs, DeFi, Governance, or any other sector within the vast web3 landscape 🌐 The Graph’s Sunrise of Decentralized Data further empowers a thriving ecosystem where a Delegator’s choices shape the network. GRT becomes a tool of empowerment, a voice in a chorus that champions decentralized, performant data, and a vote of confidence in the Indexers who are building the future of the internet. In this vibrant new day, The Graph Network doesn’t grow in a vacuum; it evolves alongside practice and thoughtful choices of Delegators 🌅
