## 🧑‍🚀 Executive Summary

This month, GraphOps has shipped new releases across Graphcast SDK, Subgraph Radio and Launchpad. Subgraph Radio now enables Subgraph Developers to alert Indexers of their intent to upgrade a Subgraph, allowing Indexers to pre-sync the upgrade. We released the new Graphcast [One-shot CLI](https://github.com/graphops/one-shot-cli) to facilitate this. Launchpad V2 and Graphcast both had coverage in the last Core Developer Call, where V2 of Launchpad was released alongside [updated documentation](https://docs.graphops.xyz/launchpad/intro). We have also begun rewriting [Indexer Service in Rust](https://github.com/graphops/indexer-service-rs) alongside [Semiotic](https://semiotic.ai) as part of the effort to integrate Scalar TAP into the Indexer stack. We have also improved the entity coverage of our [Graph Network Substream](https://github.com/graphops/graph-network-substreams), moving closer to feature-parity with the existing subgraph.

Happy August everyone ✨
