I don’t have any investment since I’m all in LINK like a true biztard but I can tell you the last company I worked for was using the graph but we needed more powerful indexing for NFTs and we built a better version for our needs within a month. A year later it still didn’t work perfectly but was better than the graph. That might not be true for other needs or use cases but it’s enough to make me think whatever they built most companies will probably be better off building their own specialized indexer since it’s relatively cheap and simple.

I know you're just fudding, but running an ethereum archive node is not simple.
Big established projects might get away with running one, and then having someone dedicated to making sure it works, and then developing, maintaining and running their own indexer on top of it and hoping it works.
But that shit costs a lot of money and no way in hell "just write your own indexer bro" is going to hold any water for projects that target ethereum, especially for smaller teams/projects... and I'm not going to delve into verifiable indexing aka making sure your shit actually reflects what's on chain, even though that's also pretty fucking important in a crypto project, because you're not going to get it if you run your own indexer and you will eventually fuck up along the way and cost the project more than if you'd been using the graph from the start... And you were probably paying waaaaaay more anyway because you were spending all your money to run a fucking archive node and all that entails.
So yeah. Pretty comfy overall, thanks for reminding me why I bought this piece of shit.

I expect it will grow considerably after the shutdown, but how much I can only guess.
I am betting on the very long term for things to go critical.
Consider that most web3 tutorials start with "create a subgraph". If Web3 becomes a thing and subgraphs become THE development standard, then it would mean you'd earn money from each HTTP request of every user, as every click can trigger a query, possibly even thousands of queries. How would that reflect on the price? Plus the network effect of "everyone uses it, therefore I am forced to use it too".
But there's lots of ifs in the way, especially "if someone doesn't steal their lunch", as >>56071123 said.

My employer was very interested in TheGraph a year or so ago, since some of the cutting-edge research announced at Graph Day would have supercharged what we were building at the time.

There have been no further public mentions of that technology since Graph Day, and we've since changed course, bulked up in-house research to fill the gaps, and are shipping our own in-house solution. It doesn't directly compete with the core of what TheGraph does, but it does potentially encroach on some use cases that TheGraph has flirted with but not aggressively pursued R&D for, in what is a massive emerging market in the sector that would have been ideal territory for TheGraph's dominance. It also demonstrates how the markets and businesses adapt to complex needs when the established players don't deliver in a timely manner.

With that said, the grande armee of archive nodes is what really sets The Graph apart. Management wants our technology to play well with full nodes, but the in-house EVM experts know damn well that within a decentralized context, we're going to need robust, credibly neutral, high-availability, multichain archive nodes for some of the products and services we're shipping. The Graph's EIP-4444 initiative could potentially fill the gaps here down the road.

The Graph can still win in scalable decentralized offchain data aggregation, which is desperately needed in the world at large granted it's developer-friendly and consumer-friendly, and it still has a shot at being first to the punch at the value subgraph composability provides given their computation and storage firepower, but they really need to move faster in the R&D department.

[Anonymous No.56075131]

>>56069944
Companies can develop their in-house solutions, and the fact that they have needs that The Graph cannot provide right now hurts query fee potential, but those will always be manifestations of the very problem that The Graph intends to resolve: data silos.

The Graph aims to be the perennial commons of public and permissionless data and all desired permutations of that data. No other project has really publicly embraced such an ambitious vision.

Parsiq is barely noticed by the prime movers in this sector. Too little manpower, too little resources, too little focus proportional to its manpower and resources, and a lot of its products have weak moats that do not warrant vendor lock-in. Also, the lion's share of its services are backed by a centralized company, with decentralization talk only as concessions to their exit liquidity, fighting a continuous uphill battle against much larger and comparatively more versatile players on both the centralized and decentralized fronts.

>>56075117
As far as specific teams go, StreamingFast and GraphOps need free rein to go crazy with their product development. Messari and Semiotic need more money thrown at them: Messari to vastly expand its subgraph development bandwidth, and Semiotic to expand its research team. Also, at this point, the board should just authorize Tegan to go on a reign of terror with the migration, which looks to be quietly unfolding internally.

>>56075206
If Tegan's mainnet query volume target is hit, expect usd 22k-29k/yr at current hosted service utilization. If you're more inclined to bearish expectations, expect something like usd 11-12k/yr. Double that for what you might expect in a bull market year, assuming TheGraph has similar or greater developer traction to what it enjoyed at the end of 2021.

>especially for smaller teams/projects
Smaller projects will simply run a lightweight client w/ pruning turned on and accept the tradeoff of not even needing to query historical data beyond some date, and plug any gaps with something like google BigQuery (who hosts a full archive node). Otherwise just generate the indexed archive data through a bigquery process as an init, then run a lightweight node locally. There is absolutely no need to run an archive node once that data has been indexed.

Are you sure it was The Graph? It has only a couple primary gateways as far as I know, but it has around 30-40k endpoints as of 2022. The Graph's query interface is GraphQL-based, but that doesn't mean all GraphQL APIs are The Graph or that all GraphQL APIs are created equal for that matter.

I've always found its data pretty good for what what it is; my only complaints are that it's limited to 1,000 rows per query with a skip limit of 5,000, again, as of 2022, and that mostly serves as a DOS prevention strategy on the free service.

>light client
Ethereum's dirty little secret is that nobody likes peering with light clients. You'll be waiting hours for some good Samaritan to start providing you data to sync.

The full node is the sweet spot.

>Smaller projects will simply run a lightweight client w/ pruning turned on and accept the tradeoff of not even needing to query historical data beyond some date
Full nodes drop historical state data after 25-51 minutes depending on how their client build is configured. You really can't do anything with a light client, and they're also inherently too economically vulnerable to be a source of truth for any large protocol.

>Otherwise just generate the indexed archive data through a bigquery process as an init, then run a lightweight node locally. There is absolutely no need to run an archive node once that data has been indexed.
Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose of Web3? You're not just relying on a centralized data provider, but trusting it to aggregate data in a manner which has no plans to be verifiable.

I guess that just depends on what level of deventralization you are willing to call decentralized. Block explorers like etherscan are centralized and much of the data they show is only possible through indexing. The most efficient method of doing most anything at scale is going to be a centrally managed execution, indexing included. Mining pools and liquid staking services centralize voting power. The trend toward centralization is a natural result of pursuing efficiency. Decentralized structures will have a certain degree of redundancy which trades efficiency for reliability, security etc.

Crypto brands itself as decentralized and certainly to an extent it is. But it only just leans decentralized, less as time goes on it seems. Because to actually design something that is both highly decentralized and efficient at scale is so difficult that it practically begs to be a paradox. And in most cases I'm not sure it matters, crypto included. Intent from a centralized entity to be decentralized is a moot point. What will make it highly decentralized and efficient is rapid adoption and development from a fuckton of unrelated people. That's the only way I can see it happening. Like globalized economies developing super complicated supply chains slowly over time, it took trillions of social interactions for people to reconfigure their behaviours in a way which made something so unbelievably complex possible. Similar concept. What's it going to take for that to happen? Well, crypto needs to be more than a gambling den. It needs to deliver on the supposed benefits that have been promised. Sorry for the tangent, but I'm pretty disillusioned after years of mere speculation and time spent (wasted?) "studying" crypto projects and what exactly their supposed breakthrough is.

You can rely on centralization for anything that is not mission critical and does not have externalities of the GIGO variety. For anything else, you need uptime, some degree of redundancy, and verifiability, never mind censorship resistance and security. Otherwise the reliability of what you're building is at the risk of the next cloud service outage, arbitrary corporate decisions, targeting for shutdown due to cultural/ideological climate, or data manipulation to serve a political or personal agenda. Traditional business could get away with it, but it still takes a massive toll on economic activity.

Centralization in decentralized ecosystems is a tradeoff - participants trade robustness for reliable yield. But it's still a systemic risk, especially when its competitive edge against legacy industry is boasting the minimization of these risks. Centralization of voting power in PoS protocols leads to well-funded malicious agents rigging the governance decisions of protocols themselves, as was demonstrated by some of the culprits in the contagion of 2022. Decentralized protocols relying heavily on centralized infra end up losing all benefits of decentralization and inheriting the censorship decisions of their sources.

The pitfalls of decentralization largely stem from latency and massively redundant resource expenditures, but next generation protocol architectures seem to be aiming to use verifiability more extensively - including in execution - to reduce overhead of decentralization without sacrificing integrity through reliance on centralization.

The breakthrough of Bitcoin was distributed version control of state. The breakthrough of Ethereum was distributed version control of Turing-complete operations on state. The breakthrough of oracles and indexers was distributed I/O and distributed operations on I/O.

[Anonymous No.56089458]

>>56083795
I'd also concur that the evolution of a complex and robust macro ecosystem makes or breaks this sector. As time goes on, I believe there will continue to be centralization, but that the ecosystem will develop more sophisticated risk management with those potential pain points in mind, and deploy more verifiability tech which will gradually supplant traditional centralization.

You can feed end-users garbage on their dashboards, but anything happening onchain - which necessarily depends on state integrity - must strive for a pristine environment.

But anyway, The Graph's original sin was not baking end-to-end verifiability into its protocol from day one. It was understandable as the circumstances in which it emerged, was funded, and developed meant there was a lot less liquidity at the time to fund developing more than an MVP with a more traditional form of governance / risk management, with stated plans to eventually make up for the verifiability gaps later. But five years and hundreds of million dollars later, it seems like there should be more to show for it. Nevertheless, it's a master class in high availability decentralization.
