GraphOps Update March 2025

Research & Development Core Team Updates

:woman_astronaut: Summary

We are pleased to share significant updates across GraphOps workstreams.

Within Kubernetes Launchpad, we’ve released updated versions for Launchpad Charts including proxyd, generic-app, and graph-network-indexer, alongside a canary version of the common library chart. Lighthouse and Nimbus now support HTTP connections and feature enhanced resource management. For Namespaces, we released updated versions of Polygon, Ethereum, Gnosis, Celo, Arbitrum and Monitoring.

GraphSeer.com has seen refined subgraph navigation (differentiating deployment types), time period selection for Indexer performance charts, and introduced images to tables for Indexers, subgraphs, and deployments.

For Network Operations, we completed the Horizon Network Subgraph MVP and published Payment Source aggregation updates to the network.

Finally, the GraphOps Gateway continues to run smoothly, backed by a growing number of Indexers, with further progress on billing integration, developer tools, and user flow. Thank you for your ongoing support!

We invite developers and data consumers interested in accessing subgraphs from The Graph Network to become early adopters of the GraphOps Gateway by completing this form. For Indexers looking to serve paid queries from the GraphOps Gateway, we have a separate form available at this link.

Happy March everyone :sparkles:
