Research & Development Core Team Updates

:woman_astronaut: Executive Summary

November was a landmark month for Edge & Node, highlighted by a cascade of public achievements in The Graph protocol, engineering, integrations, and branding. Horizon’s near-complete mainnet deployment is signaling the fruition of a multi-year effort. The ecosystem took a major leap forward with the beta release of Amp, alongside powerful new x402-enabled services that allow AI agents to query The Graph’s blockchain data without API keys. The Graph celebrated its 5th birthday with a live (and livestreamed) celebration that unveiled the rebrand of House of Web3 to The House, reflecting its growing role at the intersection of blockchain and AI. Business development expanded chain integrations across Polkadot, Monad, Stable, and MegaETH, while DevRel guided tons of EthGlobal hackers in building with Amp and subgraphs. Looking ahead, the focus turns to finalizing Horizon’s launch, deploying the Rewards Eligibility Oracle, and continuing the rollout of The House’s new brand identity. Read on for more detail.

:tada: Notable November Accomplishments

Engineering

  • RewardsEligibilityOracle and IssuanceAllocator smart contracts are being audited

  • Horizon is being deployed to mainnet - the fourth and final phase of the deployment is imminent!

    • After extensive testing on testnet, Indexers have been upgrading the stack, and the final Council signatures will allow the upgraded protocol to be live very soon

  • Amp beta shipped!

    • Hosted a shared dataset registry plus Amp server for the EthGlobal hackathon in Buenos Aires

      • hackers were able to query datasets, reuse them, or deploy their own

    • Source code is now available for all to see and try

      • https://github.com/edgeandnode/amp - the blockchain native database - contains the core database, including:

        • chain extractors and query engine

        • Typescript CLI

        • ampctl management CLI

        • ampup installation manager tool

        • Rust streaming client

        • ampsync crate for syncing datasets to PostgreSQL

        • monitoring dashboards… and more

      • https://github.com/edgeandnode/amp-python - Python client with reorg aware streaming and batch query support, Marimo notebook setup, plus many connectors for loading amp data into your favorite database

      • https://github.com/edgeandnode/amp-demo - demo application showcasing a full-stack application development process… shows how to develop smart contracts and power a React dApp with Amp

  • x402-enabled Subgraph MCP and A2A servers are live (beta)!

    • These new services allow AI agents to consume blockchain data from The Graph without requiring an API key or signing up on The Graph Studio

    • Agents just need a wallet and an x402-enabled client (like ampersend-sdk) to consume blockchain data

    • The A2A server is an agent capable of autonomously finding blockchain data by searching, introspecting, and querying subgraphs

    • Available at subgraph-mcp.x402.thegraph.com and subgraph-a2a.x402.thegraph.com - documentation and public launch coming soon

  • ampersend MVP shipped as private beta

    • ampersend is a new project by Edge & Node that provides AI agent developers and operators with a management dashboard to automate and control their agents’ spending and earning, built on x402 and A2A

    • ampersend uses Amp, so it’s a great dogfooding opportunity that will allow us to improve the product and eventually drive high query volume on the Network

Marketing & The House

  • We celebrated The Graph’s 5th Birthday!

    • Five years ago, The Graph set the standard for blockchain indexing

    • Today, it’s building the data layer for an AI-native internet

    • We celebrated the milestones that got us here and the vision that’s taking us forward - relive the livestream here

    • During the celebration we announced our rebrand from The House of Web3 to The House

      • We are celebrating The House as the anchor of the tech scene in San Francisco’s beautiful Presidio

      • We are recognizing the pivotal role that The House is playing in bridging the blockchain and AI worlds, as evidenced by guest speakers from Coinbase x402, Google A2A, and the lead author of ERC-8004

Business Development

  • Rodrigo announced Amp to the world at SmartCon

  • Accomplished chain integrations for Polkadot testnet, Monad mainnet, Stable mainnet, MegaETH testnet v2

Developer Relations

  • Guided EthGlobal hackathon participants through their interactions with subgraphs and Amp

  • Held an Amp workshop for a room full of devs at EthGlobal

:telescope: What’s Next:

  • Finish the Horizon deployment

  • Discuss initial plans for Amp on the Network (which will use Horizon) during IOH

  • Keep spreading The Graph at Solana Breakpoint

  • Deploy the RewardsEligibilityOracle to mainnet

  • Complete all the little things needed to complete the rebranding of HOW3 to The House
