### 2021-10-30 **NEAR subgraph support** is now in beta, in Graph Node and on the Hosted Service. Documentation is available [here](https://thegraph.com/docs/supported-networks/near), and the corresponding GIP is [here](https://forum.thegraph.com/t/gip-near-indexing-for-graph-node/2680). StreamingFast have been making progress with their **Solana Firehose implementation** , while Figment’s upcoming multiblockchain integration is nearly ready to demo. Oliver shared an update on the **[Graph governance process](https://forum.thegraph.com/t/the-graph-protocol-governance-process/2671)**, in particular giving more context on when the full governance process is required, and how core development work fits in. **Integration testing working group** : a cross-functional group from several core development teams met this week, focused on unifying the existing integration testing setup used internally by Edge & Node with the tools used to investigate Proof of Indexing disputes on the network, extending both to support more multivariate cases & automation. The **Rust implementation of the Gateway** has been undergoing performance testing & iteration. This will dramatically increase the Network’s potential throughput. Some teams are planning improvements to the subgraph GraphQL schema, and to graph-ts, and are looking in particular for feedback and feature requests from the community on those components. There are a range of meetings planned next week (w/c 1st November) for core contributors, please reach out if there are topics you would like to be discussed or considered! * * * Comments & questions are welcome. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.thegraph.com/t/core-development-notes-and-updates/2648)._
