Mesa Trail is a GO 🎉
✅Code freeze complete
✅ Release candidate 4.0.0-rc1 tagged
✅ Preflight Mesa Testnet upgraded
✅ 12 dry runs completed
✅ Load & cluster testing succesful
After months of rigorous testing, we're ready to kick off the next phase in the Road to Mesa: MESA TRAIL!
Mesa Trail is the final testnet for the Mesa upgrade, designed to simulate the exact hard fork process —running from a Berkeley state to Mesa.
Alpha is live.
After nearly a decade, the first feature-complete privacy stack on Ethereum is here.
Developers can now build apps and contracts with ground-up customizable privacy, from execution to settlement.

Infrastructure doesn't make headlines, but it makes everything else possible.
Every app query, every wallet balance check, every DeFi transaction that displays correctly runs on data infrastructure working invisibly in the background.
The Graph has processed trillions of queries because when infrastructure works, nobody thinks about it. When it doesn't, everything breaks.
Voting for $AZTEC TGE proposal is now live.
Token holders can now vote to make $AZTEC tokens transferable and activate the Uniswap V4 pool.

Horizon opens The Graph’s standard protocol infrastructure to any data service. It launched on December 9th, but the implications will reverberate for months to come. Here’s how it’s going ⬇️
✅ 100.00% of all active Indexers are active on Horizon, utilizing some or all their stake to serve subgraphs via Horizon.
✅ 99.39% of all queries are now served via Horizon.
✅ 90.33% of all Indexer stake is migrated to Horizon.
The transition period isn’t over, but the adoption of Horizon is already a huge success:
➡️ 668 million queries have been served in the last 10 days
➡️ Total of 684 million GRT staked
The hardest part of launching a new data product is building everything around it: payment systems, economic security, distribution, and a network of providers willing to run your workload.
Horizon handles all of that at the protocol level.
Data service developers can now plug into The Graph's infrastructure and focus on what they're actually good at: building specialized tools for use cases we haven't imagined yet.
