TL;DR — IOH (final one, apparently): Transition Week Update
Housekeeping first: IOH is being rebranded to GOH — Graph Office Hours (voted 6–0 on the call). Weekly cadence stays, indexer questions still welcome.
The 20% issuance redirect is LIVE — activated literally during the call (“seven minutes ago”). First GRT now flowing to the Foundation-controlled wallet for transition/continuity/growth.
Transition status:
- Everything moving from E&N to the Foundation: 50+ platforms/SaaS accounts, oracles, bridges, contracts, wallets, API keys, monitoring, docs, playbooks
- Focus for next 1–3 weeks = pure stability, “hopefully you have not noticed”
- New hires announced: Tomas (Protocol Team Lead, ex-E&N), Miguel (protocol, ex-E&N), Juan (returning OG), Carlos (ex-GraphOps infra)
REO tightening plan — heads up:
- Current criteria (5 days / 1 subgraph) called “very, very lenient”
- Proposal: phase up to 11–12 days uptime + 20 query-producing subgraphs (stepped 1→5→10→20 subgraphs), tightening every ~2 weeks starting next week-ish
- Would reclaim ~27% of rewards total — intentionally more than the 20% redirect; goal is active indexers see a net increase
- Philosophy stated plainly: REO handles the bottom of the barrel; DIPS + liquid staking are where good indexers differentiate. They won’t over-tune REO into a gameable mess
DIPS: finally a “clear path,” but not in the next couple of months. Will enable deprecating the upgrade/studio indexer and paying indexers directly — incl. for chains without indexing rewards. Design partners wanted (via GOH/indexer channel).
Liquid staking: live in private beta at vault.thegraph.com, currently delegating to 10 indexers (query-based selection). Public launch targeted within ~a month; early access via vault@thegraph.foundation.
Dashboard note: update APR formulas for the new issuance + surface REO eligibility (delegators shouldn’t see juicy APRs on ineligible indexers).
