Summary

Updates the docs to reflect that The Graph Foundation operates the Upgrade Indexer, and cleans up outdated content on the publishing and curating pages.

Changes

Upgrade Indexer attribution

  • Upgrade Indexer (subgraphs/providers/subgraph-studio/upgrade-indexer): renamed the page from "Edge & Node Upgrade Indexer" to "Upgrade Indexer", removed all Edge & Node references, and stated that The Graph Foundation operates it (in the overview and the conclusion).
  • Quick Start (subgraphs/quick-start): the Upgrade Indexer is now described as "a single Indexer operated by The Graph Foundation."
  • Fair Use Policy (subgraphs/providers/subgraph-studio/fair-use-policy): "Edge & Node's Upgrade Indexer" is now "The Graph Foundation's Upgrade Indexer" (2 places).
  • Indexing Approaches (gateways/subgraphs/consumer-side/indexing-approaches): removed the Edge & Node attribution from the historical mention of the Upgrade Indexer and hosted service.

Publishing and curating

  • Publishing a Subgraph (subgraphs/developing/deploying-publishing/publishing-a-subgraph):
    • Removed the outdated "How to Publish a Subgraph to Arbitrum" video.
    • The Curators bullet now reads "to begin attracting Indexers to sync and serve queries."
    • "Sunrise Upgrade Indexer" is now "Upgrade Indexer."
  • Curating (resources/roles/curating): "Sunrise Upgrade Indexer" is now "Upgrade Indexer."

Notes

  • English only. Translated pages aren't included.
  • The Fair Use Policy still names Edge & Node for Studio infrastructure and the Support Team that enforces limits. Those lines are out of scope here, but they may need a follow-up to match the new Upgrade Indexer attribution.

Foundation, and remove Edge & Node attribution from quick start,
fair use policy, and indexing approaches.

Remove the Arbitrum publishing video, reword the Curators bullet, and
drop "Sunrise" from Upgrade Indexer references.

> If your Subgraph is eligible for rewards, it is recommended that you curate your own Subgraph with at least 3,000 GRT in order to attract additional indexers to index your Subgraph.

The Sunrise Upgrade Indexer ensures the indexing of all Subgraphs. However, signaling GRT on a particular Subgraph will draw more indexers to it. This incentivization of additional Indexers through curation aims to enhance the quality of service for queries by reducing latency and enhancing network availability.

The Upgrade Indexer supports the network by indexing many subgraphs. However, signaling GRT on a particular subgraph can attract additional network indexers.
