The date is set: The Graph’s 5-year birthday celebration is December 3. The Graph & @thehouseofweb3 are hosting the anniversary gathering at the House of Web3 with its splendid view on the SF bridge. Join The Graph for a look back at the past five years and a moment to

The 2018 milestone of The Graph’s initial 1,000 commits was marked by rapid iteration on Graph Node, indexing logic, and documentation, laying the groundwork for today’s reliability. Come celebrate the next milestone tomorrow in SF ⬇️

The Graph launched in 2021 with Subgraphs, processed trillions of queries, and proved that permissionless data works. But blockchain data needs are diverse: real-time streams, analytics, APIs, and custom queries. Horizon makes The Graph the protocol to integrate ALL of them.

Feels just like yesterday that The Graph set the long term goal to index any immutable, web3 compatible data source. In 2 days time, The Graph will celebrate 5 years of staying on course.

x402 is the open payment rail for agents. The Graph is the open data rail for their decisions. When those two layers merge, you don’t just get “AI that pays”, you get autonomous systems that think, pay and verify.

The Graph’s GraphTally already implements microtransactions directly at the protocol layer. x402 simply standardizes that same concept for the broader web, but now it’s machines handling the payments instead of users. That’s what unlocks broader scalability across web3.

You can think of it like this: 1. An agent or app makes a request for data. 2. The x402 payment layer funds data requests. 3. The Graph data layer organizes this blockchain data into a queryable format directly from the source: the blockchain. This layered architecture provides

Indexed state, escrow logic and data integrity guarantees are essential for many x402 transactions, from fetching onchain data, to triggering micro-services or building interacting agents. That’s the invisible layer The Graph already supports for 70+ chains.

@coinbase and @Cloudflare are pushing x402 so agents can pay for: - Data access - Compute - API queries - Streamed services The catch? All that needs one thing: verifiable, queryable data. This is where The Graph’s stack fits in.

x402 is not “just payments”. It’s a machine-native billing standard, a way for agents to pay APIs or services per request without accounts, sessions, or API keys. Think “@Stripe for AI” but decentralized and built into the protocol layer.

HTTP 402 was written into the web 30 years ago as a payment error message: ‘Payment Required’. Nobody developed it… Until now. x402 is bringing it back to life for AI agents, A2A and dapps and it’s a major step for crypto-native payments. A standard for agent payments. The

5 years of building in public. 5 years of decentralized data infrastructure. 3 days to go until the celebration. Join the community in San Francisco to celebrate this milestone. OGs and newcomers are welcome.

The next phase of The Graph focuses on real-time indexing, agentic systems, and reproducible onchain data. 4 days left to RSVP to come celebrate and discuss the next steps.

Supporting the next generation of web3 builders is core to The Graph’s mission. Great to see SmartCon’s first VC Demo Day bring real projects and serious technical talent together and proud to sponsor the event. Thanks to Derek Meyer @data_nexus for representing the Council on
