📊 The Graph Ecosystem: October 2026 in Review
October was the month the Q3 plan started to show results on The Graph Network:
- Studio to Network: As of November 1st, none of the BSC and Polygon Subgraphs remain in Studio.
- REO: the bar is now 10 qualifying Subgraphs a day. The two-month retrospective is out (https://thegraph.com/blog/reo-two-months-retrospective/) and you can check your statu here: https://reo.thegraph.com/
- Chains: Ink is on Firehose and Substreams with Extended Blocks. 13 networks were deprecated from Subgraph Studio, and botanix follows on November 2.
- Substreams v0.8.0: blocks decode 2.9x to 4.9x faster. Opt-in. https://docs.substreams.dev/references/migrating-to-buffa
- Releases: Studio 1.5.0 and v1.6.0, Explorer v1.2.0, indexer-agent v0.25.12 (Indexers, upgrade), Docs v2.1.10.
- Graph Node: stabilization phase under InfraDAO. Issues from 2025 or earlier will be closed, so reopen any that still matter in #indexer-software.
- x402: AI agents pay per query for Subgraph data through vAPI.
- In progress: the Multi-Gateway Plan, Studio pricing, Liquid Staking and Direct Indexer Payments.
