Graph Node

Project Description and Details

Having the PSE run a The Graph indexing Node(s). Maybe 1 for our own internal use. Another as a public good.

Problem Statement

Several PSE projects use the graph subgraphs. Either wrote and deployed their own (semaphore, taz), or are querying already deployed subgraphs (e2e-zk-ecdsa).

Unless a deployed subgraph is "signalled" enough (costs GRT), indexers are unlikely to index it and consumers can't query it. By deciding to run an more altruistic indexer node, we could decide to index these subgraphs that don't give much rewards and that no one else is indexing.

Solution

Buy 100k GRT (staking requirement). At current price ~$16k. Setup indexer. Find out how to configure the node: I don't know myself how the node behaves and how to configure it. Does it automatically pick and index the most juicy subgraphs (that give the most rewards)? Or is it possible to hardcode the subgraphs to index, etc...

Benefits

Secure availability of the indexed data that the PSE projects need
Strengthen The Graph decentralized network

Tech Stack

Graph Node is an open source Rust implementation that event sources the Ethereum blockchain to deterministically update a data store that can be queried via the GraphQL endpoint.
