| Result | **Mismatch** |

### Corroborating Evidence

No other indexer closed an allocation at POI block 74,472,074 on this subgraph. However, the disputed indexer’s own allocation history demonstrates the subgraph produces correct, verifiable POIs in this block range. The disputed indexer matched at blocks immediately before the mismatch (74,282,550 and 74,154,903) and after it (75,381,882), and multiple other indexers matched at blocks spanning the full range:

| Indexer | Block | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `0xdecba5154aab37ae5e381a19f804f3af4d1bcbb5` | 74,154,903 | Match |
| `0xdecba5154aab37ae5e381a19f804f3af4d1bcbb5` | 74,282,550 | Match |
| `0xdecba5154aab37ae5e381a19f804f3af4d1bcbb5` | **74,472,074** | **Mismatch** |
| `0xdecba5154aab37ae5e381a19f804f3af4d1bcbb5` | 75,381,882 | Match |
| `0xfc842f81490dcb37e82d416b2d28327dfb24ba9a` | 73,780,735 | Match |
| `0x35917c0eb91d2e21bef40940d028940484230c06` | 75,174,859 | Match |
| `0xf00f7157fa8fd0420b87956d46058a16b2f23adc` | 75,174,859 | Match |
| `0x2f09092aacd80196fc984908c5a9a7ab3ee4f1ce` | 75,174,859 | Match |
| `0xfc842f81490dcb37e82d416b2d28327dfb24ba9a` | 75,594,156 | Match |

The subgraph was being correctly indexed by multiple independent indexers throughout this period. The mismatch is isolated to the disputed indexer at this specific block.

### Cross-Subgraph Analysis

The disputed indexer also indexes two other Avalanche subgraphs: `QmeuzzdgrN9mjAYQqVENLDRWtREV7wDMGVEthhg1sY4xdu` and `QmWFbXcvxqD39BjzJ72WwF4fe8ZGH2Z25ZcrF7onCPPBpr`. I verified their POIs on these subgraphs and found a correlated pattern of mismatches.

The disputed indexer mismatched on all three subgraphs at the same block, then recovered on all of them simultaneously:

| POI Block | `QmVcBWJZQNYKJpd1Vx9BLrgjvxnmuev7JhD2HvLVn4XBy6` (this dispute) | `QmeuzzdgrN9mjAYQqVENLDRWtREV7wDMGVEthhg1sY4xdu` | `QmWFbXcvxqD39BjzJ72WwF4fe8ZGH2Z25ZcrF7onCPPBpr` |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 73,333,339 | **Mismatch** | – | **Mismatch** |
| 74,472,074 | **Mismatch** | **Mismatch** | **Mismatch** |
| 75,381,882 | Match | Match | Match |

On `QmeuzzdgrN9mjAYQqVENLDRWtREV7wDMGVEthhg1sY4xdu`, the disputed indexer is the only indexer with any mismatch. Three other indexers (`0x3e1536fc83cd5bed83a521a26034ff3e59c6a7c4`, `0x8cc22436ba6f07a4d5dd2043e3109267eee5aab8`, `0x0a015d9e17d3978164486473a2ddbb654418db07` ← self) all matched across 7 allocations spanning blocks 72,836,707 to 75,811,870.

On `QmWFbXcvxqD39BjzJ72WwF4fe8ZGH2Z25ZcrF7onCPPBpr`, four other indexers (`0x53dbbc9d916b1840a2c4c26b150ba2e13f36e10f`, `0x0a015d9e17d3978164486473a2ddbb654418db07`, `0xf92f430dd8567b0d466358c79594ab58d919a6d4`, `0x3e1536fc83cd5bed83a521a26034ff3e59c6a7c4`) all matched at blocks surrounding the disputed indexer’s mismatches. `0x53dbbc9d916b1840a2c4c26b150ba2e13f36e10f` matched at block 74,537,393 – immediately after the mismatch at 74,472,074.

I do not believe that 3 seemingly independent subgraphs with different code, different mappings, different entities, etc… simply break and then recover in unison, if not for infra issues, unless there is another factor I have not considered? The shared variable across all three subgraphs with mismatching PoI’s is the indexer’s own infrastructure/RPC. This pattern indicates to me that the mismatches originate from the indexer’s setup rather than from any individual subgraph.

GDR-48, covers a separate Legacy-era allocation by the same indexer on the same subgraph at block 73,333,339.

Thanks @badcoffee for another stellar investigation and report. Really appreciate the effort you put in.

After reviewing the submitted evidence and the additional analysis performed, the fisherman’s conclusions appear correct. The observed POI mismatches are most plausibly explained by a temporary data-ingest issue on the disputed indexer’s side. Unfortunately we haven’t heard from the indexer and their endpoint seems to be down so there is also no way of verifying their current POIs. However as the fisherman points out the indexer has posted valid POIs after the mismatched ones suggesting that whatever issue they were experiencing was already solved.

Following guidance from section 13 of the Arbitration Charter ([graph-improvement-proposals/gips/0085-horizon-arbitration-charter.md at main · graphprotocol/graph-improvement-proposals · GitHub](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-improvement-proposals/blob/main/gips/0085-horizon-arbitration-charter.md#13-indexing-data-integrity)), the suggested outcome is to resolve the dispute as a draw and give the indexer 7 days to address the issue. It’s worth noting that both GDR-48 and GDR-49 correspond to the same indexer showcasing the same behavior but in different periods of time, three weeks or so apart. Given the indexer has fixed the issue of their own merit the arbitrators understand the indexer did not act in bad faith.

We’ll be posting the transaction shortly. Once again @badcoffee thank you for your continued work.
