Svědčíme o tom, jak se agenturní ekonomika vyvíjí v opravdu praktickou infrastrukturu. Nyní je možné, aby AI agenti používali přirozený jazyk při dotazování na The Graph. Toho je dosaženo prostřednictvím MCP agenta, který přijímá pokyny v běžné angličtině od peer agentů a překládá je do dotazů GraphQL kompatibilních s The Graph Network. Kromě toho probíhá vývoj pro plnou kompatibilitu s x402 Subgraph Gateway, což je funkce, která nakonec dovolí agentům spravovat platby za dotazy autonomně.
Although infrastructure rarely grabs the spotlight, it serves as the foundation that enables the entire ecosystem. Invisible data systems operating in the background are responsible for every accurately displayed DeFi transaction, wallet balance check, and app query. The Graph has processed trillions of queries because truly effective infrastructure goes unnoticed. We usually do not give it a second thought when it works, but if it fails, everything else breaks.
ERC-8004 funguje jako registr pro tři zásadní aspekty AI agentů: jejich identitu, která definuje, kdo jsou; jejich reputaci, která poskytuje historii jejich chování; a validaci, která slouží jako důkaz, že úkoly byly provedeny správně. Díky publikaci Subgrafů ERC-8004 napříč 8 řetězci vytváří The Graph konsolidovaný adresář pro důvěru napříč různými blockchainy. To znamená, že agent na Base může použít dotaz na Subgraf k okamžitému ověření postavení agenta na Arbitrum. Bez takové infrastruktury by byli agenti nuceni procházet surová blockchainová data, aby autentizovali přihlašovací údaje, což by přivedlo síť do úplného zastavení.
As major chains race to deliver quicker block times, institutions adopting blockchain technology are requiring verifiable data. At the same time, AI agents depend on structured information to take action. The common link uniting these demands is data infrastructure, better known as The Graph.
For AI agents to operate successfully onchain, they require two essential elements: a distinct identity and established payment rails. The Graph facilitates this by offering the data layer necessary for both components to function at scale. Specifically, @ethereum ERC-8004 acts as the ID card used for verification and reputation purposes, while @coinbase x402 serves as the wallet designed for instant micropayments.
The velocity of block times is on the rise. As @Solana, @Base, and other L2s move toward sub-second blocks, your blockchain data infrastructure must stay up to speed, especially since some traders are relying on partial blocks. Substreams solves this by processing blocks the moment a validating node makes them available. It streams transformed data instantly, ensuring there are no backfill delays and no waiting involved.
Acting as the data layer for the multichain economy, The Graph now indexes 80+ networks. Through this single protocol, builders can gain access to blockchain data across a wide spectrum of platforms. Supported ecosystems range from @ethereum and @solana to @base, @avalanche, @arbitrum, @BNB, @optimism, @polygon, @unichain, and more.
Zajímá vás mechanika Substreams? Aktivita na blockchainu je neustálá a nikdy se nezastaví. Každou sekundu dochází k tisícům transakcí napříč sítěmi jako Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, BSC a dalšími. Substreams se přímo připojuje k Firehose, aby zaručil, že každý jednotlivý kus dat je zachycen bez výjimky. Považujte to za startovní čáru pro všechno 🚦
Aby efektivně fungovaly, největší multichain DeFi protokoly vyžadují datovou infrastrukturu, která odpovídá jejich rozsahu. Substreams slouží jako motor pro datové potrubí v systémech, které spravují miliardy v objemu pokrývající desítky řetězců. Tento nástroj je nezbytný pro vysoce tlakové prostředí, kde je spolehlivost nevyjednatelná.
A data layer acts as the underlying infrastructure that converts raw blockchain states into organized, searchable information. In the absence of this technology, every application is forced to replicate the entire indexing process from the beginning. However, by utilizing this layer, builders are free to dedicate their efforts to the core solutions they are creating.
Substreams modules are written in Rust and compiled to WASM. Why Rust? It provides performance, safety, and aligns with a growing ecosystem of blockchain developers already familiar with the language. This ensures your data transformations run at native speed.
Horizon doesn't alter your current usage of Subgraphs, but it does enable The Graph to host additional data services alongside them—giving you more options as your data needs evolve.
The Graph dedicated 2+ years to building Horizon.
We did this not because it was easy, but because a multi-service infrastructure is essential for the ecosystem as blockchain data requirements get more complex.
This tool provides static analysis for Subgraphs. It helps catch entity overwrites, null pointer issues, and other runtime bugs that might otherwise slip past the compiler.
Discover hundreds of ready-to-use Substreams packages available right now in the Substreams Registry.
Simply find the one that fits your use case, configure your sink, and start streaming—with absolutely no custom development required. Additionally, the modular architecture of Substreams enables you to use a Substreams package as an input for another, allowing you to effectively build on the work of other developers in the community.
At the close of 2025, The Graph shipped Horizon, marking the most significant protocol upgrade since the network’s launch.
Why Horizon matters and what it enables ⬇️
▶️ Horizon transforms The Graph from infrastructure built for a single service (Subgraphs) into a modular platform capable of supporting any type of blockchain data service. It features the same battle-tested foundation, now with expanded capabilities.
▶️ Prior to Horizon: Staking, payments, and verification were built specifically for Subgraphs. ▶️ Following Horizon: Those same components become reusable primitives that any data service can leverage.
▶️ For developers, Horizon provides access to an expanding suite of data tools, all running on the same decentralized infrastructure. Subgraphs. Substreams. Curated APIs. Analytics. And services that have yet to be built.
▶️ More data services = more protocol activity. More opportunities for Indexers. More utility for GRT. Horizon serves as the foundation for that growth.
Horizon was the infrastructure upgrade. What comes next is building on it.
Introducing a new tool for Subgraph developers: Subgraph Linter!
This is a static analysis tool designed to catch common runtime bugs before deployment—including entity overwrites, unchecked nulls, division-by-zero, undeclared eth_calls, and more. It works in VS Code or CI pipelines.
While The Graph once focused solely on Subgraphs, it now supports a new generation of data products, all of which are designed to meet the emerging needs of the industry as a whole.
📅 Builders Office Hours is happening today at 1pm EST. @juanmardefago from @graphops will walk through Subgraph Linter—a new tool that performs static analysis on Subgraph mappings to catch bugs that compile fine but crash at runtime.
Join @Marcus_Rein_ from @edgeandnode for the conversation.
The Graph serves as the industry standard for how blockchain data is accessed.
Horizon represents what comes next: a modular protocol designed to support any data service.
This includes real-time streams, preindexed APIs, analytics engines, and compliance tools—all running on shared infrastructure that has been battle-tested for years.
The Graph built the foundation. Now, anyone can build on top of it.
