## ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš€ Executive Summary The GraphOps team is excited to share our updates and achievements this month! We launched the [Subgraph Radio Stable Release 1.0.0](https://x.com/graphopsxyz/status/1737165249369735574?s=20) ๐ŸŽ‰ featuring improved state persistence, enhanced Indexer address validation, updated Slack notification logic, and improved end-to-end tests. The [File Hosting Service](https://github.com/graphops/file-hosting-service) repository is now public! This means the community can now track all developments on File Hosting Service โ€”a decentralized, peer-to-peer data sharing platform optimized for efficient and secure file transfers. Our recent efforts focus on enabling file sharing, client-side file discovery, adding a server cost endpoint, and improving server-side local file system methods. Moving onto Graphcast SDK, we rolled out the [version 0.6.0](https://github.com/graphops/graphcast-sdk/pull/313). This release include updated nonce types, reintroduced discovery ENR and refactored the Slack bot for seamless notifications setup. Within Launchpad, we deprecated [Arbitrum Goerli](https://github.com/graphops/launchpad-namespaces/commit/188fa134171fa77d386f377c24fde72a46217388) and [Graph Goerli](https://github.com/graphops/launchpad-namespaces/commit/074b5df81ec8db80f78d6abc5cc427cbe40e3359) namespaces. We also updated [Arbitrum namespace](https://github.com/graphops/launchpad-namespaces/commit/651a0909adb5964959d8ea64c1956c408a8b115d), [Lighthouse](https://github.com/graphops/launchpad-charts/releases/tag/lighthouse-0.5.0) chart and [graph-toolbox](https://github.com/graphops/docker-builds/commit/ff61731ac08f32ffe9b76b2e073126f2e0224ff9) image build. Additionally, we upgraded various dependencies to bolster reliability. Our team also hosted another [Launchpad Office Hours](https://youtu.be/9Y-fWbtza94?feature=shared) session to recap 2023 progress and outline Launchpadโ€™s roadmap for 2024.
