## 👩‍🚀 **Executive Summary**

Edge & Node made strong progress in February across core protocol work and production readiness, with increased momentum on Indexing Payments (DIPs) and continued validation of key components like the Rewards Eligibility Oracle. On the indexing side, `graph-node` v0.41.2 shipped meaningful reliability and data integrity improvements. In Amp, engineering focused on standardization and operability, including a canonical extractor template and new Admin API endpoints for lifecycle operations. Rounding out the theme of production readiness, ampersend added x402 v2 support with runtime version routing and simplified client creation. Read on for greater detail on the above and more.

## 🎉 Notable February Accomplishments

### Protocol

- Accelerating communication and documentation for Indexing Payments (DIPs)

- Testing REO (Rewards Eligibility Oracle) on testnet and fixing bugs as needed

### Graph-node

- [Released v0.41.2](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node/releases/tag/v0.41.2)

- Many improvements will ship with the next release, see details under **What’s Next**

### Amp

- **Canonical extractor template** : Solana, Firehose, and EVM RPC extractors all restructured to match a common template

- **Solana correctness** : Proper blockhash pre-fetching, configurable commitment level, strictly increasing block numbers

- **Backup & restore** : Restore workflow built out with single-table restore, revision restore, and namespace-prefixed object storage paths

- **Admin API enhancement** : new endpoints for `create`, `delete`, `truncate`, and `restore_revision`

### ampersend

- Made several changes for production readiness:

## 🔭 What’s Next:

- New smart contract audit slated for early-mid March

- Plans to ship `graph-node` version(s) with aggregation queries, a mock-based subgraph test runner, operational improvements, and dependency cleanup

- EthCC, Digital Assets Conference, and promoting the intersection of AI and blockchains at The House
