As part of The Graph Foundation’s new mandate to move from coordinator to operator, the Foundation is [bringing query volume](https://thegraph.com/blog/subgraph-studio-traffic-to-network/) 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.

Step-by-step guide for publishing Subgraphs:

> Browse the latest developer documentation including API reference, articles, and sample code

Full details, including what to do and a FAQ, are in the blog:

> A new wave of query volume is shifting from Subgraph Studio's staging environment and going live on The Graph Network, starting with BNB Smart Chain and Polygon.
