## 👩‍🚀 **Executive Summary**

March and April brought record consistency in Network usage by combining for ~4.5 billion queries. This consistency comes alongside April bringing all-time highs for both query volume and active paying wallets on Studio. The successful launch of [Token API](https://thegraph.com/token-api/), swiftly integrated into Claude, Cline, and Cursor for AI-assisted crypto wallet and price data solutions, underscores The Graph’s ongoing innovation in product development. Rodrigo amplified this momentum through his [podcast appearance with BlockFuel](https://x.com/BlockFuel/status/1904552873850970261), emphasizing the importance of decentralized application data and promoting a globally inclusive builder mindset. Our engineering teams progressed significantly with enhancements to both the product experience and the protocol robustness. Business Development achievements included integrating new chains and onboarding notable partners. Marketing initiatives effectively spotlighted AI-enablement and promoted several impactful co-marketing campaigns, notably with Rootstock and Lens. Developer Relations maintained robust community engagement through new [Builders Basecamp](https://graphbuilders.vercel.app/) missions and interactive office hours. The House of Web3 continued its vibrant growth, welcoming new co-creators and hosting influential community events. Looking ahead, efforts will focus on completing critical protocol updates, preparing for major events like ETHCC and the Stackblitz Hackathon at the House of Web3, and driving adoption of Subgraphs, Substreams, and Token API bundles.
