:woman_astronaut: Executive Summary

We are excited to share this month’s achievements and updates across our workstreams!

For Launchpad, we’ve rolled out additional canary versions of the firehose-ethereum chart, integrated Scalar TAP support into the latest stable release of the Graph Namespace, and released new stable versions of both Charts and Namespaces. Additionally, we hosted an Indexer Office Hours session to introduce the new firehose-ethereum chart.

GraphSeer has introduced Subgraph ID search support, fixed various bugs, and improved performance through dynamic load testing. Our team has also been working on UI improvements.

Network Operations saw a hotfix for the Core Network Subgraph and the removal of pruning to ensure data integrity.

Additionally, our team had a productive and exciting time together during the recent offsite, collaborating with other Core Developers and advancing several key initiatives.

Happy October everyone :sparkles:
