On my way to the airport and was doing the online check-in, and as I was doing it the 2 hour mark before the flight passed, and now I can apparently only check-in after I pay them a fee. They’re getting really creative on the budget airlines, how does it make any sense that you’re behind and instead of going through security directly you now have to go to them and pay first when I don’t have any bags
I'm waiting for a DNS change to go through before I can make an https certificate for a site. I accidentally clicked the link they have to ask for help for https certificates, and the site gets blocked because they don't have one themselves 😅
Looking at the increased adoption of The Graph’s decentralized network it’s interesting looking at the demand of different chains. Last July 82% of queried subgraphs were indexing Ethereum data, compared to this July where only 24% of queried subgraph were indexing Ethereum. BSC for example went from around 3% in March to 12% in the past four months.
This shows the growth in unique queries subgraphs. In terms of how that translates to paid query volume on the decentralize network, queries are up over 1,100% comparing last July to this July

Some fresh stats/charts relating to usage on The Graph’s network now that the hosted service has been turned off.
First chart shows weekly query volume (up 85.9% in June, 1.36 billion queries a month).
Second chart: the transition away from the hosted service is evident not only in overall query volume but also in the rising number of users doing at least 1M queries a week. This increase, sustained for 9 weeks, shows more customers moving production volume to the decentralized network around the deadlines.
Third chart: this growth can be observed in both the query volume demand, as well as the number of subgraphs published to the network. Active subgraphs surged from 3,942 in early June to 7,170 by June 30th. Compared to the query volume increases, the subgraphs migration saw its strongest growth 1-2 weeks earlier.
I was reading through the @orb announcement for clubs and I thought it could be interesting to experiment with organizing public goods type work through a club treasury.
For example I think the Lens ecosystem could benefit from more data analysis around bot activity and moving the needle on spam prevention. There could be a request for proposals on the topic which rewards submissions that turn out to be valuable contributions to that particular problem. Then that publicly funded work could benefit everyone from platforms to smaller devs to regular users in the ecosystem at large. Maybe if I’m a platform I could be thinking something like “I would definitely pay null,000 for a spam prevention mechanism that’s just as good but has 50% less false positives” and contribute that to the treasury pool to resolve the given problem and data analysis, and it only gets released as the task is considered resolved.
Outside of bot/spam prevention, what are some data analysis or tools that would be worth funding through this treasury?
Awesome to see @aave subgraphs migrated to The Graph's decentralized network 🙌 I'll be using some of these for sure 🫡
Messari's 200+ subgraphs are probably the best data source for directly getting onchain data - now available to query on a decentralized network of indexers 😎
