GraphOps Monthly Update - February 2026

Executive Summary

This month, GraphOps delivered several key updates.

We made major progress on the Substreams Data Service, getting us closer to a demo-ready MVP. The team built out the consumer-provider interaction flow, including payment handling, usage tracking, and session management.

On Tycho, we continued testing our instance and reviewed alternatives to our internal price solver to better align data with PropellerHeads.

The Kubernetes Launchpad received multiple upgrades and optimizations across several core clients and infrastructure components, while keeping monitoring and security stacks up to date.

On Network Operations, we fixed multiple calculation and balance discrepancies across the Network and Analytics subgraphs.

Happy March everyone!

Looking Back (What Was Delivered)

Tycho & Data Ingestion Architecture

• Continued testing of our Tycho instance.
• Collaborated with PropellerHeads team on next steps.
• Reviewed alternatives to our internal Tycho price solver to line up the TVL data even more with PropellerHeads (Fynd).

Kubernetes Launchpad (Documentation, Starter, Charts, Namespaces, Taskfiles)

• New updated releases: erigon, nimbus, lighthouse and proxyd.
• Updated dependencies in Launchpad Charts for nimbus, erigon, lighthouse, proxyd, graph-node, and graph-network-indexer. Shipped environment ordering for secret interpolation with 0.8.2, and refined subgraph oracle in 0.8.1.
• Upgraded dependencies in Launchpad Namespaces across Polygon, Gnosis, Ethereum, Celo, and Arbitrum. Included updates for erigon, proxyd, lighthouse, and nimbus.
• Canary updates completed for Launchpad Namespaces dependencies ensuring smooth patch upgrades.
• Enhanced monitoring in Launchpad Namespaces with kube-prometheus-stack patch updates, along with updates to sealed-secrets for better data security.

Development Activity

• Launchpad Charts:
  • Dependency Updates: #627, #630, #631, #625, #626, #624, #623: Updates included nimbus, erigon, lighthouse, proxyd, graph-node, and graphprotocol indexer services which enhance platform stability and integrate minor and major version improvements.
  • #629: Introduced environmental ordering to enable secret interpolation, enhancing configuration flexibility with updated documentation for release version 0.8.2.
  • #628: Refined subgraph availability oracle with the removal of RBAC resource generation and added options for service account token management, accompanied by a chart version bump to 0.8.1.
• Launchpad Namespaces pull requests merged:
  • #2072, #2071, #2070, #2069, #2068: Updated Polygon, Gnosis, Ethereum, Celo, and Arbitrum dependencies, including erigon, proxyd, lighthouse, and nimbus with standardized version upgrades and release note enhancements.
  • #2067, #2066, #2065, #2064, #2063: Performed Canary updates for the same sets of dependencies, ensuring smoother transition through patch increments.
  • #2062, #2059: Enhanced Ethereum dependencies with updates to nimbus and lighthouse, refining performance and stability.
  • #2061, #2060, #2058, #2056, #2055: Consistent monitoring improvements through patch upgrades of kube-prometheus-stack, enhancing metrics and dashboard functionalities.
  • #2057: Advanced dependency versions for sealed-secrets, facilitating enhanced data security features.

Network Operations (Graph Network Subgraph, Graph Network Substreams, Graph Activity Subgraph, Network Monitoring Subgraph, Network Analytics Subgraph)

• Fixed incorrect indexerQueryFees and delegationPoolQueryFees calculation on the Network subgraph and Analytics subgraph.
• Fixed indexer and provision delegationExchangeRate being inflated between undelegate and withdraw on the Network subgraph and Analytics subgraph.
• Fixed incorrect calculation of IndexingRewardEffectiveCut on the Network subgraph and Analytics subgraph.
• Fixed issues related to Horizon delegation balances and updated entities in the related subgraph.

Development Activity

• Graph Network Subgraph pull requests merged:
  • #326: Resolved issues with Horizon delegation balances and updated related entities.

Substreams Data Service

• Continued with MVP implementation targeting a demoable implementation.
• Implemented basic Consumer-Provider initial handshake, PaymentSession stream and Usage loop (RAV Request to RAV Submission loop).
• Enforced underpay protection (SessionControl Continue/Stop).
• Implemented SessionClose propagation.

Looking Ahead (Upcoming Priorities)

• Finalize the initial MVP and continued development of the Substreams Data Service.
• Continued collaboration on the GTM approach and improvements for Tycho development.
