Moderated by Owen Fernau of The Defiant, this Graph Day 2022 panel was joined by Rahul Sethuram of Connext, Sara Reynolds of Uniswap Labs, Eric Tang of Livepeer, Roneil Rumburg of Audius, and Mike Sall of Goldfinch, as they engaged in a curated conversation regarding the way in which web3 protocols are transforming the internet. Panelists explored questions such as: What is a protocol? Is a token fully necessary in order to incentivize continuous development? Should protocols be developed based on governance or or should the code never be altered? Are there things we should do differently regarding our communication with stakeholders and deployment of tokens?

Subgraph developer and The Graph Council member Sebastien Siemssen described the world’s past struggle for data access in web2 and how subgraphs change how we interact with data in web3. Siemssen also reflects on how scaling indexing performance is a matter of parallelization. Consequently, Siemssen introduced substreams, which are fully parallelizable, infinitely composable, highly reusable & cacheable data streams, that are about to increase subgraph syncing speeds by orders of magnitude.

Moderated by Director of The Graph Foundation Eva Beylin, this Graph Day 2022 panel shone a light on how each core developer contributes to The Graph ecosystem. Joseph Al-Chami of Figment, Jannis Pohlmann of Edge & Node, Sam Green of Semiotic Labs, Uri Goldshtein of The Guild, and Chris Wessels of GraphOps engaged in a dynamic conversation regarding what it means to be a core dev. During the panel, Al-Chami announced The Graph’s beta hosted service integration of Cosmos Hub, marking the first Cosmos chain to be indexed by The Graph. Upcoming support for Osmosis was announced as well. Additionally, Beylin prompted panelists to consider how developers have been using The Graph Client, a tool built by The Guild, and what benefits it provides.

How do you combat disinformation using web3 technology? In his Graph Day 2022 talk, Edge & Node Research Lead Zac Burns discusses the importance of verifiable information in web3 protocols, and the importance of scaling in a way that is efficient without sacrificing security.

Burns also announced Shellproofs, a novel SNARK that could reduce the cost of resolving millions of state channels by 10,000x upon deployment to The Graph Network. The SNARK was developed in collaboration with Edge & Node, Semiotic Labs, and The Graph Foundation, and a paper detailing the SNARK construction will be published for peer review.

Co-founder of The Graph and Head of Research and Product at Edge & Node, Brandon Ramirez breaks down the debut of Graph Day back in 2019 and updates the vision that were explored then, and materialized before the second-ever Graph Day this year. As Ramirez’s talk progresses, he examines blockchain architecture evolution, subgraphs, the decentralized infrastructure market, and much more. Ramirez also revealed a proposal out for vote in the community to implement Arbitrum as a Layer 2 solution for The Graph Network, which if passed, would reduce cost of participation in the network.
