## 👩‍🚀 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](https://github.com/graphops/launchpad-charts/tree/main/charts/firehose-ethereum), integrated Scalar TAP support into the latest stable release of the [Graph Namespace](https://github.com/graphops/launchpad-namespaces/tree/fc6530bad3b721fdaa7b6e947ab192bc182b4c4c/graph), and released new stable versions of both Charts and Namespaces. Additionally, we hosted an [Indexer Office Hours](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drVLsYsWo34) session to introduce the new firehose-ethereum chart.

[GraphSeer](https://graphseer.com/) 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](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-network-subgraph/releases/tag/v1.1.3) 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 ✨

## 🎉 Looking Back (what was delivered)

### 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))

- Chart updates released for Erigon, Arbitrum-Nitro, Lighthouse, Celo, Nimbus, Heimdall, and Graph-Network-Indexer, all with stable versions.
- New stable versions for Namespaces: Ethereum, Gnosis, Polygon, Arbitrum, Celo, Graph, Monitoring, and Ingress.
- Scalar TAP support now exists across charts (graph-network-indexer) and namespaces (graph).
- Released more canary versions of the firehose-ethereum chart (applicable to all fireeth-based chains).
