GRC-001: Graphcast - a Gossip Network for Indexers

VERY excited to participate in Graphcast! A few things I am most excited for would be:

  • Error coordination: both on a failed subgraph level and also on indexer level errors.
  • Protocol Testing: Not sure exactly how this would be implemented, but there likely could be a good method of coordinating on errors encounted on tagged versions if it could be automatically broadcast to a radio.
  • Node version coordination: especially with a multi-chain mainnet it’d be great to see how many indexers are running each respective client and version.
  • Node spec coordination: It would be amazing for indexers to be able to share hardware requirements and feature specifications - eg “Network: Mainnet, Storage Requirement: 1.3TB, Supports Traces: True”
  • While some indexers may want to keep some of this data close to their chest, I’d be interested in knowing other indexer’s interest/willingness on collaborating on database level configs (RAM allocated, shared buffer size, etc.)
