🤖 The Graph is expanding to serve decentralized AI!
The team @semioticlabs has published a new white paper, The Graph as AI Infrastructure, detailing the introduction of two innovative AI services: Inference and Agent. These services leverage The Graph’s extensive historical data and robust decentralized infrastructure, providing a reliable, and censorship-resistant platform for AI model deployment and the creation of AI-driven dapps.
✨ As part of today’s whitepaper release, Agentc - a ChatGPT-like tool built on The Graph’s Uniswap data - is now available as a public demo! Now, you can experience an AI-powered tool built on The Graph. Agentc was built by the Semiotic Labs team, a Graph core dev, as an experiment to test the ability for The Graph to serve AI use cases. Agentc leverages natural language to query blockchain data. For the next two weeks, the public demo will allow users to interact with blockchain data in a new and intuitive way. Following the demo period, the code for Agentc will be open-sourced so developers can innovate on ways to integrate AI with The Graph.
1️⃣ Inference Service: Empowering developers to serve and run AI models on The Graph's decentralized network. By utilizing the computational power of Indexers, developers can integrate AI features, including ChatGPT-like functionalities, directly into their dapps' frontends.
2️⃣ Agent Service: Taking AI integration a step further, this service enables the creation of autonomous, AI-driven dapps capable of complex interactions within blockchain environments. Developers can create dapps where interactive agents perform a wide range of tasks, enhance user experiences, and drive operational efficiency.
Read the full white paper and try out Agentc to explore how The Graph is becoming foundational infrastructure for AI-powered web3 dapps. Don't miss out on this opportunity to experience the future of decentralized AI.

In Q1 2024, The Graph Network saw substantial growth in queries, reaching an all-time high of over 1.5 billion, up 65% from just shy of 1 billion in Q4’23. This growth accompanies updates recently shipped by core devs, enabling developers to easily take advantage of low cost, reliable and permissionless decentralized data ⚡
Here are the top 8 key takeaways from the Q1 2024 Participant Update ⬇️
1️⃣ The Graph Network experienced significant growth, serving 1.5+ billion queries—a 65% quarter-over-quarter increase. Additionally, the number of subgraphs published on the network grew by over 30%, exceeding 1,900 subgraphs.
2️⃣ The Sunray Phase of the Sunrise of Decentralized Data concluded with the launch of key developer centric features including a free query plan, payment by credit card or GRT with access to 5️⃣0️⃣+ chains on the network.
3️⃣ The Graph added support for Bitcoin data by introducing a Bitcoin explorer module, a composable BRC-20 Substreams Module and a BRC-20 Substreams module, facilitating the integration of data into subgraphs for GraphQL queries.
4️⃣ Members of The Graph’s leadership teams traveled to Asia and participated in community events, engaged with the local web3 communities and strengthened The Graph ecosystem’s relationships with key thought leaders in the region.
5️⃣ Looking ahead, Sunbeam (Phase 2 of the Sunrise of Decentralized Data) concludes on June 12th. This milestone marks the end of the subgraph upgrade window in which hosted service subgraphs must upgrade to the network.
6️⃣ Firehose is now integrated with @go_ethereum. The 44% of Ethereum devs that make use of GETH can now get natively deeper insights, more precise event ordering, pattern matching, simpler and a more reliable integration, lower latency and super fast reprocessing times.
7️⃣ The Graph is saving the blobs! Developers now have two ways to access blob data (EIP-4844) - through either the consensus layer or the execution layer.
8️⃣ The Graph ecosystem can expect many exciting announcements coming in the near future around new data services live on the network and served by an ecosystem of Indexers earning GRT. Core Devs (@edgeandnode, @streamingfastio, @semioticlabs, @TheGuildDev, @MessariCrypto, @graphopsxyz, @PinaxNetwork, and @geoprotocol) will continue to execute on the New Era Roadmap by integrating SQL query capability and a SQL data service, File Hosting Service, new micropayment system Scalar TAP, AI data services and more.
The Graph's Q1 2024 Participant Update establishes a clear watermark for web3 and decentralized data. The Graph’s expansion across many chains as well as progress on new developer experience enhancing features and new data services is expanding what’s possible with decentralized data in web3.

magma cohort 1 kicks off today 🌋
25 exceptional founders & builders from all over Africa + 10 global builders are coming together in Kenya.
We’re spending two weeks IRL coordinating on roadmaps for an open, borderless, and permissionless financial system that works for the 1.4B African users.
Web3 needs Africa to realize its promise of utility for the masses.
Africa brings scale. Huge friction points with a legacy system is not meeting the needs of the people. It’s the perfect breeding ground for decentralized and permissionless innovations.
But to have the user centric tools needed to leapfrog what’s not working, we need coordinated efforts by builders.
Magma is an effort at doing just that.
Cohort 1 builders are working onchain or moving fully onchain, building the simple tools that improve financial services for African users: wallets, stablecoins, on/off ramps, payments, savings applications, credit reporting, node infrastructure.
They are also driving innovations in carbon credits onchain, decentralized messaging, tools for creators, LLM for consumer insights, a modular micro-data center and node, digital asset infrastructure services, cross chain bridges, and preserving culture and history onchain. Individual open source developers and builders are also in the mix.
Global founders, researchers, and infrastructure builders have signed up to share, support, and learn from/with our African builders.
Fireside chats with incredible founders that include: @brian_armstrong (@coinbase), @zoink (@figma), @akothari (@NotionHQ ), @sandypeng (@Scroll_ZKP), @antonimarber (@polygon), @howardakumiah, @jessepollak (@base), and @juanbenet (@protocollabs).
@s3unha (@nonce_community), @blockchainjames (@fireeyesgov), @janehk (@a16z), @isaacpatka (@0xshield3), @0xdai2 (@BreederDodo), @cryptowanderer, @tonyolendo, @developerayo, Phini and @youfoundperrie (@EF_ESP), @Esk3nder, @iamsonge are all rolling sleeves to add hands on value.
Huge gratitude to @Optimism, @base, and the @ethereum foundation who are anchor supporters making magma possible during the residency and beyond. Our friends from @Scroll_ZKP, @0xPolygon, and @intmaxIO are joining actively to support builders hands on, along with @ensdomains and @Celo are cheerleading this initiative.
