The Graph set to roll out new blockchain data services, including AI-assisted querying

The Graph, an indexing and query protocol for organizing blockchain data, is rolling out a new suite of resources, including advanced data streaming services, Large Language Models for AI-assisted querying, new query languages and verifiable data into its network. Additionally, the roadmap presents a solution for accessing historical data on the Ethereum blockchain once EIP-4444 is implemented, which will limit the availability of such data on the network itself. The "New Era" was outlined in The Graph Foundation's research and development roadmap. It focuses on five key objectives, including expanding its data services, enhancing tooling and UX and delivering a more resilient, flexible and efficient protocol. New Era also aims to boost performance and reduce costs for node operators, and create tools for composable data and an organized knowledge graph, according to a statement. In conjunction with New Era, The Graph is also implementing its "Sunrise of Decentralized Data" initiative, featuring cost-free migration to the network and access to a new free query plan. Additionally, the upcoming Graph Horizon network upgrade aims to make the protocol easier to use, cost-effective and permissionless.
