As part of The Graph Foundation’s new mandate to move from coordinator to operator, the Foundation is bringing query volume from the Subgraph Studio staging environment onto The Graph Network, where a geographically distributed set of Indexers serves it with better redundancy and quality of service. This starts with BNB and Polygon with more networks to follow.
On October 8, 2026, the Subgraph Studio staging environment will be deprecated for BNB Smart Chain and Polygon. If your BNB or Polygon Subgraphs are already published on The Graph Network, nothing changes. If they run only through the staging environment, publish them to the network before October 8 so Indexers can sync them. The Foundation curates on your behalf automatically once you publish. Subgraph Studio itself is not going away; it stays the home for managing and publishing Subgraphs.
