:woman_astronaut: Exec summary

Happy new year! We hope you had a restful holiday season.

This month has seen a furry of progress on Graphcast. We recently the open sourced the Graphcast SDK and POI Radio repositories and we’re on track to publish the SDK crate and make an Indexer-ready release of the POI Radio by January-end. We’ve also shipped a series of updates to our Launchpad stack, tracking new versions of indexing dependencies like Erigon and Nethermind. Our work on the EBO and core network subgraphs has also continued as we support the L2 migration.

2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year full of new opportunities and growth for The Graph! We wish everyone in the community a happy, healthy and prosperous year.
