GIP-0079Approved

Rewards Eligibility Oracle

by Graph Foundation

Forum

Gates indexing rewards on actual service quality — HTTP status, response speed, and data freshness — evaluated over 28-day windows with 14-day renewal cycles. Oracle contract is live on Arbitrum and scoring indexers, but enforcement (reward gating) is pending GIP-0086.

Indexer Impact

Must maintain quality service to retain reward eligibility. Failure to meet thresholds (200 OK, <5s response, <50K blocks behind) will result in lost rewards once enforcement is active.

Delegator Impact

Once enforced, delegation to ineligible indexers will earn zero rewards. Monitor your indexer's REO status now — Lodestar shows oracle-sourced eligibility data and renewal countdowns on every indexer page.

GIP-0086Approved

Rewards Manager & Subgraph Service Upgrade

by Edge & Node

Forum

Upgrades the RewardsManager to integrate with the REO oracle and adds POIPresented events with claim/deny/defer outcomes. Prerequisite for on-chain indexing agreements.

Indexer Impact

RewardsManager now checks REO eligibility at reward claim time. New POIPresented events create richer on-chain data about indexer performance.

Delegator Impact

Better reward distribution accuracy. POI presentation data will feed into indexer scoring and compliance tracking.

Protocol Economics Evolution

by Graph Foundation

Forum

Broader economic restructuring including issuance model updates, fee market evolution, and protocol sustainability mechanisms as The Graph transitions to a multi-service protocol.

Indexer Impact

Long-term economic framework changes affecting reward structures, fee markets, and the balance between issuance-funded and fee-funded revenue.

Delegator Impact

Economic model changes affect long-term APR sustainability. The shift toward fee-based revenue means delegator returns increasingly depend on actual query volume, not just issuance.

On-Chain Indexing Agreements

by Rembrandt Kuipers (Edge & Node)

Forum

Creates a new marketplace layer for indexing agreements — offers, acceptances, POI presentations, escrow balances, and payment flows. The RecurringAgreementManager receives minted GRT and manages agreement lifecycles.

Indexer Impact

New revenue stream from on-chain agreements alongside existing allocation rewards. Must actively manage agreements, present POIs, and maintain escrow health.

Delegator Impact

Indexers with active agreements generate additional revenue that flows through to delegators. Agreement participation becomes a key factor in indexer selection.

Issuance Allocator Deployment

by Edge & Node

Forum

Deploys the IssuanceAllocator to split GRT issuance between the RewardsManager and the RecurringAgreementManager. Initial split: ~5% (~6 GRT/block) to agreements, expected to grow to ~10%.

Indexer Impact

Allocation-based rewards decrease by ~5% initially as issuance redirects to agreement funding. Indexers participating in agreements can recapture and exceed this via agreement revenue.

Delegator Impact

Base APR from allocations decreases slightly (~5%). But total ecosystem rewards increase if indexers actively participate in agreements. Net effect depends on your indexer's agreement activity.
