CEO @edgeandnode | Founding Team of The Graph @graphprotocol | Creators of Amp and ampersend @ampersend_ai

San Francisco, CA
I just hit my 4 year anniversary 🎂 as the first employee with @edgeandnode, the team behind @graphprotocol. What a journey. I'm even more excited than ever to come to work every day, and honored to work with the most talented team in #web3. We are just getting started!

Even after being at Edge & Node and working on The Graph for 7 years, I am still excited about what we are building and looking forward to what we create together. There is still so much to do! I’m honored to have the team’s trust in me to guide us forward. LFG! 🚀
.@rodventures takes the helm as the new CEO of @edgeandnode, a core developer for The Graph. As The Graph’s first hire, Rodrigo’s leadership will drive decentralized innovation and strengthen collaboration across The Graph’s growing ecosystem.

In order for @graphprotocol to scale to serve agents billions of microcent transactions for queries, we quickly realized that batching transactions and settling periodically made the most sense. Enter the "deferred" scheme, now submitted for inclusion into the x402 standard.
The Edge & Node team is working with @coinbase on the future of agentic payments 🤖 Today’s x402 standard enables HTTP-native, stablecoin micropayments. But if every microtransaction settles onchain, the agent economy will not scale. Our proposal: a deferred payment scheme. • Agents “pay” with signed vouchers • Servers aggregate vouchers • On chain settlement happens later in a single tx This unlocks sub-cent payments and machine-speed commerce between millions of agents.

This uses @graphprotocol tech behind the scenes. @edgeandnode worked with Marco on shaping the 8004 spec as well as helping him build a Subgraph for Agent0. Happy to contribute to this important building block of the agentic economy - decentralized reputation!
AI discovery is broken. ChatGPT and Claude can’t find even *one* MCP server. Discovery is crucial, and it must be open. I want a Web of Agents, not an Agent App Store that can censor rivals and skim 30%. That's why I just spent 10 days in my cave building Agent0, an 8004-based SDK that makes open discovery & trust dead simple for devs and agents. 👇

Happy 1st Birthday @graphprotocol 🎂 👶 In human terms, this baby is in diapers just starting to crawl... just wait until it starts to run! 🏃💨
A year after The Graph Network launch, it's home to 150+ Indexers, 2,300+ Curators & 8,000+ Delegators, weaving a lattice of web3 collaboration. These contributors are using GRT to provide core data services to dapps. On The Graph Network’s 1st Birthday, let’s recap the year🧵

AI and crypto aren’t competing — they’re converging. AI needs identity, payments, and provenance tracking. Crypto provides all three. Together, they’re shaping a more open internet—one where both money and intelligence move freely.

YES 💪
The Graph is far from abandoned. → Ranked #5 in core infra devs → Over 2.5K commits in the last year → Most projects don’t come close and that’s just public repos Yes, some resources shifted briefly, because we’re building next-gen infra, not duct tape fixes. Proud that @graphprotocol saw the need for pro indexing early, built it, and open-sourced it. There is no second best! It’s easy to create FUD. The hard part is locking in and building infra for dapps that won’t optimize their code or upgrade stacks. We’ve been in this since 2020 and we’re still here, still committed, still shipping!

Standards like HTML allowed the internet to flourish. We need data standards because billions of people produce information in a myriad of ways. Now with GRC-20, #web3‌‌ can grow exponentially with shared agreement on how to represent the complex relationships between things the way they exist in the real world. Watch this space, as a Cambrian explosion of applications will appear on this foundation! ♾
✨ The Graph is pioneering a new data standard for web3 with GRC-20, a proposed common language for data across web3. Just as ERC-20 standardized value on Ethereum, GRC-20 will standardize data, information & knowledge and bring web3 to life 🌐 thegraph.com/blog/grc20-know…

Give us a follow!
hello, world! today, Edge & Node team announces ampersend - a wallet for agents and a dashboard for humans, enabling secure onchain agent-to-agent transactions. here’s how it works: ampersend is a layer that lets agents transact, communicate, and operate autonomously, while humans can observe, manage, and set the rules from one dashboard. the stack behind ampersend: ampersend builds on the growing ecosystem of open standards that make the agentic internet possible. it uses @Google's A2A for communication, @coinbase's x402 for value exchange, and connects them through AP2 and ERC-8004 - emerging standards that bring auditability, attestation, and discovery to agent networks. @edgeandnode, the founding team behind @graphprotocol, and now the ampersend, has contributed to most of these standards, helping define how agents talk, transact, and coordinate across ecosystems. ampersend ties them together into one operational system. think about it like this: A2A = a protocol that enables agent-to-agent communication in the first place. AP2 = an extension of that grammar for auditability, which involves attestation to cart and payment details. enables agreement and consensus. x402 = protocol that defines the ways in which agents transact and pay each other. enables real transactions. ERC-8004 = a standard for agent discovery and reputation. LFG

Proud of the E&N team for this contribution to the x402 standard 💪🏼
Another step towards x402's viability is underway: The "deferred" payment scheme introduces a system by which users mint "vouchers" (like checks), allowing merchants to ultimately claim time-locked tokens from user escrow. Fascinating mechanism. github.com/coinbase/x402/pul…

Gartner estimates that by 2030, $30 trillion in purchases will be made or influenced by AI agents. @rodventures, CEO of @edgeandnode talked about how x402, A2A, and ERC-8004 are important standards that jumpstarted the agentic economy but they're missing data integrity and economic accountability. 'ampersend' is a new standard that builds on x402 and gives humans the control panel they need to observe + control agentic payments.

🏗 Edge & Node | Record Query Volumes + Visible Product Impact April was a major month for Edge & Node—not just because of high usage numbers, but because of what those numbers represent. Across March and April, the network hit a combined 4.5 billion queries, and Studio saw all-time highs in paying users. These aren't vanity metrics—they reflect tangible improvements across the product stack: ▫️ Subgraph Studio introduced archive features to keep developer environments clean ▫️ Graph Explorer added sorting tools to spotlight top-used Subgraphs ▫️ Subgraph publication increased, thanks to better UX and smarter rate limits ▫️ Graph Node v0.38.0 shipped with performance and composability improvements ▫️ Gateway and Indexer components got security and registry streamlining On the adoption side, new partners like Balancer, Lido, Nutbox, and Treble Finance joined the ecosystem, bringing real volume. Meanwhile, their marketing and DevRel teams elevated Token API, launched new onboarding pages, and ran educational campaigns that linked AI development directly to Subgraph tooling. 🧠 All signs point to this: Edge & Node is focused on growth with purpose—and the numbers show it's working.
