The Graph's Hosted Service is Shutting Down - Migrate Now

Subgraphs are a crucial component of the web3 application layer, enabling developers to query data directly from GraphQL APIs. This capability is vital for the efficient functioning of decentralized applications (dapps), as it allows for the seamless retrieval of relevant data.

The Graph's Hosted Service is Being Deprecated: What It Means for You

The landscape of subgraph hosting is undergoing significant changes. Recently, The Graph announced the deprecation of its hosted service, effective June 12, 2024.

This shift forces users to either:

1. Adopt The Graph’s decentralized network

2. Migrate to alternative hosted subgraph solutions

Because transitioning to the decentralized network involves purchasing and staking $GRT tokens and investing non-trivial amounts of engineering resources, migrating to alternatives like Alchemy are easy, not disruptive, and sustainable long term.
