# 📅 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](https://docs.graphops.xyz/launchpad/intro), [Starter](https://github.com/graphops/launchpad-starter), [Charts](https://github.com/graphops/launchpad-charts), [Namespaces](https://github.com/graphops/launchpad-namespaces), [Taskfiles](https://github.com/graphops/launchpad-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.
