Data Services

The catalogue of data services on Graph Horizon. Every service follows the same TAP v2 / GraphTally payment pattern. The signal that matters most is whether anyone is actually serving paid queries.

production + mainnet-deployed

Built, awaiting an operatorServices that are finished and unclaimed. The contracts are deployed and the code is maintained; nobody is running them, because The Night's Watch builds these services and does not operate them. This card said 'Lodestar services live' until 30 August, which described an arrangement that had already been retired by decision.

Deployed contracts, nobody serving

Indexers: several of these are yours for the taking

The Night's Watch builds data services and does not operate them. A box, a domain, a bill and an on-call rota, indefinitely, per service, is a different job from writing the thing — so several of the services below are finished, deployed on Arbitrum One, with the payment path rehearsed against real Horizon contracts, and nobody serving.

That is not a gap we are hiding. It is the offer. If you index and fancy testing one, the contracts are live, the runbooks are written, and gib onboard exists so your first hour is not wasted. Start with Running one of these services, which carries the four traps that will otherwise cost you an afternoon. Then say so in the Discord and we will help you stand one up. Nothing is asked in return.
