ENS subgraph migration to the decentralised version

🌱 ENS Ecosystem Integrations
1

As discussed in the ecosystem weekly call this week,
the graph protocol recently announced their plan of deprecating the hosted version (due on June 12th), Edge and Node (the initial team behind The Graph), ENS labs and ENS ecosystem DAO worked together to come up with the transition plan.

If your app uses the ENS subgraph, please change the end point accordingly

Based on the current usage, ENS DAO Ecosystem Working Group is planning to cover the query fee. Please setup your own billing first and contact the Ecosystem Working Group once your API key once the usage exceeds their 100k monthly free tier ). Please bear in mind that each key will have usage limit. To prevent hitting the usage limit, please follow “Querying best practices to reduce query fee” guide.

To make it easy to use ENS subgraph for casual use cases such as hackathons and experimentation, we are considering to offer a community API key with some usage and rate limit.
We will update our doc once the API key is ready for use.

Hi, it’s been over 2 months since the migration and I wanted to give a quick update.
For the last 30 days, the monthly query is 28M. With 40p per 1M query of the Graph query pricing, it’s roughly $1125 a month. The query breakdown is as follows.

  • *community = 30%
  • app.ens.domains = 10%
  • metadata.ens.domains = 50%

“community” is the API key currently used for most js libraries and has rate limit (10 request per second) and usage limit ($1000 a month). Though some people occasionally experienced the rate limit for the spike period, we haven’t heard any major service disruption nor reached the usage limit.

The service fee has been kindly subsidised by TheGraph protocol for the last 3 months but that’s going to end in the next few weeks and the ecosystem working group has agree to sponsor 20k USDC, which should provide enough runway for another 12 month until the usage volume changes drastically.
