The Guild October 2023 Update

[saihaj]

Executive Summary

We’re steadfast in our commitment to elevating the developer journey with graph-tooling. Currently, our team is exploring the optimal integration of hardhat-graph into graph-tooling, while also envisioning a robust full-stack framework that amalgamates all our specialized tools. The dedication of our team was evident as we tirelessly organized and hosted the first-ever GraphQL Conference in San Francisco. This event not only provided a platform for rich GraphQL discussions but also served as the stage where we unveiled our ambitious plans for an open-source GraphQL Gateway. As we move forward, our community can anticipate the release of a mature and stable version of this gateway, further enriching the Graph Ecosystem.
