The Graph: Studio query traffic migrates to the Network starting with BNB Smart Chain and Polygon - 25 Sep 2026

The Graph Foundation has begun directing Subgraph Studio query traffic to The Graph Network, starting with BNB Smart Chain and Polygon. The migration shifts query volume off the centralized Upgrade Indexer as the Foundation moves from coordinator to operator, placing indexing and query serving on the decentralized network.Moving Studio traffic onto the network directly increases on-network query demand for GRT, since queries served by indexers generate query fees paid in the token. As more chains follow BNB Smart Chain and Polygon, indexer revenue becomes a measurable signal of the migration's progress. Observers can track query-fee growth to see how much volume has actually left the centralized path.This initiative is part of the Foundation's new mandate to move from coordinator to operator. All Studio traffic will now be directed to the The Graph Network.The Subgraph Studio staging environment runs on a centralized Upgrade Indexer, a remnant of the hosted service. But…
