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.

✨ 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!

Hi, my name is Chris Ewing and I am a long time Graph community member, Graph Advocate and the Pinax Community Liaison. Thanks for stopping in to chat!
Indexer Office Hours is one of my personal favorite venues for tracking protocol progress. Graph Ops always presents the latest developments, and lately the core devs have been keeping the indexers up-to-date with coming changes, as well as seeking their input on various items. It’s a great place to witness the teams interacting with the community.
Regarding ongoing education around New Era, this is a huge step forward for the protocol, and you can expect some detailed learning opportunities when we sort out the specific details. I’ve also heard rumors of a New Era intro presentation for Advocates coming in the near future. Again, we can expect targeted learning resources as the details coalesce.
The Graph Forum and Discord are also good resources for following the conversation. We get to watch this being built in real-time!
