Edge & Node's January / February 2026 Update

Research & Development Core Team Updates
1

:woman_astronaut: Executive Summary

January brought steady progress across Edge & Node’s core infrastructure and products. The team maintained and stabilized Horizon on The Graph Network while shipping a new Gateway release and a modernized setup for investigating the production environment. Amp saw meaningful advancement with verifiable extraction tooling, improved query performance, and more out-of-the-box UDFs for user convenience. On the ampersend front, we gained external validation through LangChain adoption, alongside major improvements to developer experience, security, and observability. Looking ahead, the team is preparing for deeper enterprise and ecosystem engagement at February conferences, all the while continuing to expand Amp’s multi-chain capabilities.
