Hey Graph’ers!
Are you ready for a special AMA with members of the core dev teams working on The Graph’s new roadmap - the New Era of The Graph? This isn’t just a new chapter for The Graph—it marks a transformative evolution in the world of web3, aiming to empower developers, boost the ecosystem, and redefine what’s possible with decentralized data.
📅 Join this special AMA from Tuesday, November 28, to Wednesday, November 30, 2023.
Because core dev team members span multiple time zones, responses to your questions will be staggered, offering a continuous and evolving dialogue over three days. Feel free to ask questions at your convenience and return often to see new answers and participate in the ongoing discussions. Community members and moderators from The Graph’s Reddit channel will be on hand to guide the AMA and ensure your questions are addressed.
Meet the AMA participants, all from the core dev teams at The Graph:
- Adam Fuller - Product Manager, Edge & Node
- Alex Bourget - Co-founder & CTO, StreamingFast
- Chris Wessels - Founder, GraphOps
- Daniel Keyes - Founder & CEO, Pinax
- Eva Beylin - Director, The Graph Foundation
- Sam Green - Co-founder & Head of Research, Semiotic Labs
- Uri Goldshtein - Founder, The Guild
- Vincent Wen - Engineering Manager, Messari
- Yaniv Tal - Founder & CEO, Geo
✨ The New Era promises a suite of new data services and features that are set to drive the next generation of decentralized applications. Additionally, from new tooling, features, updates, and upgrades, The Graph is empowering developers and ecosystem contributors. You can read the official announcement here and on Twitter.
The roadmap is structured around five core objectives:
- World of Data Services: Expanding beyond subgraphs to deliver a rich market of data services on the network (i.g., new query languages, LLMs, etc.)
- Developer Empowerment: Supporting developers through enhanced DevEx and tooling (e.g., Sunrise of Decentrzalized Data, upgrade Indexer, etc.)
- Protocol Evolution and Resiliency: Delivering a more resilient, flexible, and efficient protocol
- Optimized Indexer Performance: Boosting Indexer performance with improved tooling and operational capabilities
- Interconnected Graph of Data: Creating tools for composable data and organized knowledge graph
At the center of The Graph protocol is the power of community - so let’s hear your thoughts, feedback, and of course, answer any questions you may have about this New Era. Whether you’re curious about specific features, the roadmap’s objectives, or how you can get involved, the core devs are here to chat.
🌐 So, let’s dive in - ask the core devs anything about The New Era of The Graph!

Hey, I’m Daniel Keyes, CEO of Pinax, and we’re very pleased to be here participating in this AMA.
Thanks for asking these great questions. For SQL data services, Pinax is currently investigating how to deploy these services in a performant, modular, and reliable way. We’ll work closely with StreamingFast and Semiotic to improve the workflow as operator of these services.
For Firehose, Pinax is working on adding RPC nodes for many EVM chains (if you want to see which ones, check the hosted service list of supported blockchains here: https://thegraph.com/docs/en/developing/supported-networks/). The StreamingFast team is working on a Firehose “light” stream that will not need to have deep instrumentation.
There will be some discussion on this topic in the Monthly Core Dev call this coming Thursday if you want to learn more. This page has info on how to access recordings of previous Core Dev calls and how to join in the future.
