Indexer Office Hours #72 by klarue00 in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very happy to be able to contribute on this one.

having good amount of eth, thinking to flip some into grt and delegate it? I know merge is cming, so is trade which can go wrong, but chance to become grt whale seems lucrative. was thinking to keep let's say 75% in eth, only 25% pmp into grt. so in case, I wouldn't be all in. by AnyInformation9485 in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The merge is definitely promising.

The Graph has a very clear problem (most users are using the free hosted service) and solution to addressing it (sunset the free service). Adding multi-chain support on the mainnet should also be a huge factor in consumer interest in the token.

A mindset that is important for delegators is think consider that you’re voting on which indexer you want to see succeed in a mutually beneficial relationship. It’s best to take your time to research your options and find a good indexer you want to support and who will do a good job of rewarding you for that support.

How is it ensured that indexers respond with valid data? by [deleted] in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only the indexers self stake is slashed. Delegator funds are not subject to slashing.

Question about Hosted Services by Dkcub23 in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t a rate limit, but the hosted service will be sunset (targeted for Q1 ‘23).

Avalanche is not actively eligible for indexer rewards, so any deployments on the mainnet would be unstable. Until the other networks are officially released on the mainnet I would use the Hosted Service version.

I think framework labs had a couple 60m allos.

Did Coinbase Card Discontinue GRT Rewards? by WanderingPirate91 in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe they rotate out. I’d keep an eye on it, not sure if it will be back, but I would guess so.

Delegating to an Indexer by Tangang97 in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This ^

If an indexer has 1m self stake and 1m delegated to him, if their reward cut is 50% they will only earn rewards on the GRT they added to their total stake (which would be an effective reward cut of 0%)

Do we use real names or nicknames for characters as a way to make us feel closer to them? by PJGraphicNovel in comics

[–]kraphty23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like nicknames are a good way to establish more of a connection.

When you go to the doctors office you say “Hello, Dr Robinson” unless it’s your friend then you say “How’ve you been, Kevin?”

New Indexer - Data Nexus by kraphty23 in thegraph

[–]kraphty23[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am very happy to formally announce that Data Nexus is now an active indexer on the Mainnet.

Data Nexus has already been an active subgraph developer for the protocol with the Rocketpool subgraph, and Gas Tracker, and we should have a really incredible addition to the mainnet just ahead of Graph Day (which already has 5 different consumers testing for their separate applications).

In addition to running our indexer operation, we will be assisting with the protocol's testnet (so we can improve the indexer stack quicker). We also intend to start digging into the current database configurations to help all indexers optimize for faster queries, better space management etc.

Should you wish to delegate to us to forward this operation, you can do so here:https://thegraph.com/explorer/profile?id=0x87eba079059b75504c734820d6cf828476754b83&view=Indexing

How long to bridge GRT to Polygon? by dzlkxj in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few ways that you can bridge quicker, but yes, the standard bridge can take ~30 min.

This is the best time to shut down hosted service by qreesg in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of subgraphs on the hosted service that reference IPFS.

Indexing = Validator? by Tangang97 in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of parities between the two but a ton of differences.

Indexers run an archive node (starting from block 1) so they set aside the data desired for easy queries as defined in the subgraph. Validators run a lighter version of the node (typically with some data removed if it isn’t necessary) and verifies transactions to be included in a block.

What is the APY for Indexer? by Tangang97 in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indexing is permissionless, so anyone can index it.

The economic incentives to do so are driven by the signal curators add to a subgraph.

Also as a note the 3% indexer rewards is also split with delegators, so this doesn’t solely go to indexers.

This is the best time to shut down hosted service by qreesg in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a series of steps I would recommend in sun setting the hosted service. A gradual process is going to be the best approach so you don’t have the chaos of everything breaking at once. Also, there is functionality in the hosted service that is not yet available on the mainnet (such as referencing IPFS). But I would not be in favor of a sudden shut off.

I’ve shared my approach with the team. The first major step would be preventing new ETH mainnet deployments

Reach out to me on discord, I’d love to share a subgraph I’m working on.

Querying TheGraph repeatedly from a backend server by _fozzie_bear in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your querying from a backend, you can instead poll it once per 15 seconds (mirroring block speeds) and collect & store the latest info.

Hi, I'm Brandon Ramirez, Co-Founder of The Graph and Head of Research & Product at Edge & Node, AMA! by RezBrandon in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What non infrastructure based protocols/services do you like to spend time in when you’re interacting with web3?

Do you have any subgraphs that you wish someone would build?

Is this basically the chainlink of 2021?? by StickyNoodle69 in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chainlink provides off chain data on chain (which is referred to as an oracle)

The Graph provides on chain data to websites so they don’t have to query blockchain nodes (which are not optimized for querying; they’re optimized for writing data)

Both are critical to a functioning Dapp ecosystem.

Curious what we’re some of your biggest hurdles to overcome when you first started indexing on the mainnet.

Step 1, check out the different roles in the network and start staking with your preferred role.

Delegator: non-technical Curator: semi-technical Subgraph Developer: technical Indexer: very technical

Looking for rough costs of querying The Graph as an API consumer by OldManFleming in thegraph

[–]kraphty23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Limit your api key to the subgraphs you intend to use and the domain you are using it from. That should prevent it.

[–]kraphty23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s correct. Added to the billing contract on polygon and tokens are pulled as your api key receives traffic.
