Thank you @Pablo for presenting such a relevant proposal. The Web3 space is incredibly dynamic and competitive, requiring projects to adapt quickly to remain relevant. We believe that The Graph’s distinctive advantage lies in its decentralization and permissionless nature. We tend to agree with some concerns that @ellipfra raised about potencial scenarious, but as of now the decentralisation appears to be well-established, whereas permissionless would require urgent action, aspecially concerning scaling new type of subgraphs and going beyound subgraphs for other data services.
As an Indexer, our main concern is the sustainability of indexing rewards. The introduction of indexing fees seems to be a well-considered solution for onboarding new chains and data services in a permissionless manner. From a broader standpoint, we fully support this proposal because it promises to accelerate the protocol’s expansion and maintain its position at the forefront of Web3 data services.
We believe that the green field approach is optimal for several reasons, like “time to market” and embracing the “fail fast - scale fast” mindset for innovation, which is widely recognized as an effective strategy practiced by many prominent players in the field.
