The Graph

The Graph 2026 Technical Roadmap just dropped ⚙️ Blockchain data infrastructure is maturing into a multi-service platform that serves everyone from solo devs to global financial institutions. Here's what's coming from The Graph🧵

750 institutions. 150 speakers, including @brandonleekramer of The Graph. @Blockworks Digital Asset Summit is where institutional crypto strategy gets made. The Graph will be there with the data infrastructure that makes those strategies executable at scale. Attend Crypto's Toughest Data Problems (and how to solve them) 🗓️Day 2 | 03/25/2026 ⏱️3:20 PM - 4:00 PM EST 🗺️Insights Track | 4th Floor | 402 & 403

"Blockchains are transparent but illegible. AI is great at reasoning but needs data. MCP bridges the two." That's one of the cleaner articulations of the crypto + AI infrastructure problem that's been written recently. The Graph is the indexing layer that makes that bridge possible.

Substreams lets you write Rust functions that transform blockchain data, then stream the output wherever you need it: To a SQL database. To aPubSub. Directly to your app or trading terminal. One pipeline, multiple destinations.

The Graph Foundation's Regulatory Task Force has been monitoring legislative frameworks shaping the blockchain data industry in 2026. Understanding the regulatory landscape isn't optional for infrastructure that institutions depend on. Full breakdown in the blog. ⬇️

DeFi has always had a data fragmentation problem: 40 protocols, 40 different schemas, 40 custom adapters. @MessariCrypto 's standardized Subgraphs solved the fragmentation. MCP connected it to AI. This is what it looks like when those two things meet. Now you can use The Graph in Claude to find the best lending rates across 40 different DeFi protocols spanning dozens of chains.

The Graph is attending Digital Asset Summit 2026 in New York City 🏙️ From verifiable data pipelines to enterprise blockchain databases, the infrastructure institutions need to operationalize onchain data is ready. Stop by the booth to meet The Graph team. See you there.

Payments-first chains need payments-first data infrastructure. With Subgraph support for Tempo, fintech teams can index stablecoin transfers, track settlement patterns, and build real-time reconciliation tools — all backed by The Graph's battle-tested indexing across 70+ networks.

🗓️ The Graph Foundation is hosting a public quarterly call on March 31. The agenda: Strategy, roadmap deep dive across products and protocol, network economics, and Q&A. Open to all. Details in the forum.

Compliance-first architecture and verified blockchain data guarantees. That's Amp. @mickeynegus @Marcus_Rein_

Substreams compresses Ethereum history processing from weeks to hours. That is the baseline. In 2026, The Graph adds: ➡️ Q1 Reth and Besu instrumentation for broader chain coverage ➡️ Q2 Horizon-based P2P data service with GraphTally payments ➡️ Q3 Mainnet rollout and Provider Selection Oracle ➡️ Q4 Probabilistic verifier for data integrity and Substreams REO

The question isn't just "could blockchain make markets more efficient?" It's "could it make them fail less often, fail less violently, and better serve the people who depend on them?" Andrew Clews on what @The_DTCC's blockchain experiment suggests about reducing systemic risk 👇

Risk analysts & DeFi researchers! A new blockchain data tool to plug into Claude: graph-aave-mcp gives your AI agent live access to @aave across 7 chains: → Simulate health factors under price crash scenarios → Track liquidation events in real time → Compare supply/borrow rates across deployments → Monitor governance proposals conversationally All powered by @graphprotocol indexed data.

The @The_DTCC built their Great Collateral Experiment using The Graph Subgraphs. Now Amp is bringing institutional-grade blockchain data infrastructure to scale: ✓ SQL-native analytics ✓ Verifiable data lineage ✓ Audit-ready provenance ✓ Enterprise deployment options Financial institutions are moving onchain. The infrastructure is ready.

EthCC[9] is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors. Thank you @graphprotocol for supporting us this year as a SAPPHIRE sponsor! The Graph is a blockchain data solution that powers applications, analytics, and AI on 80+ chains. 💙❤️🩵 thegraph.com

Querying blockchain data today requires knowing GraphQL, finding the right Subgraph out of 15,000+, writing queries, converting units, and stitching results together manually. The Graph MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is middleware that sits between an AI assistant such as @claudeai, @cursor_ai, or @Copilot and a data source. Instead of writing code, a developer talks to their AI or coding assistant. The MCP handles the "find the right Subgraph → write the query → fetch the data → format the result" layer invisibly. The Graph's indexed Subgraphs are the underlying data source. The MCP is a curated, opinionated interface on top of The Graph's network.

"Could blockchain actually solve the structural inefficiencies that cost traditional finance billions of dollars annually? But more importantly to me, could it make the global financial system a more auditable place for all market participants?" Andrew Clews, Enterprise Strategy & Governance Lead at The Graph Foundation, reflects on why he's spent his career trying to build fairer financial infrastructure and what @The_DTCC's blockchain experiment suggests about the future 👇
