> Additionally, an initial implementation of the requiring PoI to open an allocation has been implemented by @ariel here: [Present a POI (proof of indexing) when opening an allocation by abarmat · Pull Request #544 · graphprotocol/contracts · GitHub](https://github.com/graphprotocol/contracts/pull/544)

Commenting as a bump to this topic. Also, adding in the ability to self-sign a query on opening could be beneficial as mentioned [here](https://forum.thegraph.com/t/gip-0028-subsidized-query-settlement/3239/13).

If an indexer can direct a 0 GRT query to themselves and provide a attestation, we could prevent the issue of having an indexer allocated but unable to serve queries. [Example](https://thegraph.com/explorer/subgraph?id=7pasZVSSF3GGdX32rDaLTT7XCQhEMFz47dKhGv3c12m6&view=Playground) as of when this was written.
