The Graph: Rewards Eligibility Oracle goes live - 26 Aug 2026

The Rewards Eligibility Oracle goes live for The Graph, requiring Indexers to meet a minimum service standard to receive indexing rewards. The announcement states that total GRT issuance remains unchanged.The eligibility rule changes which Indexers can receive indexing rewards, and it can also affect Delegators whose rewards depend on qualifying network service. In practice, reward flows are directed toward participants that meet the stated operating standard rather than being distributed under the previous eligibility conditions. Because issuance is unchanged, the update concerns access to existing rewards and the distribution of GRT flows, not an increase in the token supply. The effect therefore depends on how many participants satisfy the service requirement and how eligibility is applied after launch.In 2025, 15.2% of indexing rewards on The Graph went to Indexers serving little to no queries.The Rewards Eligibility Oracle changes that and it just went live. Same issuance, better allocation. Learn more below:
