The Graph has officially launched their decentralized network, and PoolTogether is proud to be a launch partner. We’ve been using The Graph since day 1, and rely heavily on their excellent technology to offer a rich user experience. The new network will make the service resilient, censorship resistant, and allow anyone to participate.

The transition will occur largely behind the scenes. The major outward-facing change will be new monetization rules. There will now be fees for:

  • Creating and updating subgraphs
  • Querying subgraphs

PoolTogether end users will not be impacted by these changes! As a migration partner, we will be receiving GRT tokens to cover the initial cost of participating in the network. The PoolTogether protocol will cover the costs of operating the subgraphs to ensure developers always have easy access to our subgraph API, both now and in the future.

Over the next few weeks we will be transitioning fully to the new network; we’re excited to decentralize our app alongside The Graph!
