The Graph shares detailed playbook for migrating Web3 protocols from Ethereum to Arbitrum, achieving 100% indexing rewards on L2 as of June 2024.

The Graph has published a comprehensive breakdown of its migration from Ethereum mainnet to Arbitrum One, offering a rare technical playbook for protocols considering the same move. The indexing protocol completed its transition on June 28th, 2024, when 100% of indexing rewards shifted to L2.

For developers and protocol teams weighing similar decisions, the details matter more than the headlines.

Why Indexers Pushed for the Move

High gas fees on Ethereum mainnet hit Indexers hardest. These network participants—who process and serve blockchain data queries—faced mounting operational costs that threatened the protocol’s accessibility. The community formalized the decision through GIP-0031, selecting Arbitrum One over competing L2s for three reasons: interoperability via custom bridging, proven technology maturity, and existing DEX liquidity for GRT holders.

The migration wasn’t just about cheaper transactions. The Graph used the opportunity to strip bonding curves from its curation mechanism, simplifying how Curators signal valuable subgraphs.

The Six-Phase Playbook

Unlike Uniswap’s approach of deploying entirely separate protocol versions, The Graph needed to maintain state across both layers simultaneously—a significantly more complex undertaking.

Smart contracts required complete rewrites to handle rewards distribution across two chains. After external audits and testnet iterations, the protocol launched on Arbitrum at block 42,449,166 in a devnet phase without indexing rewards. Community-built failsafe mechanisms allowed rollback to L1 if catastrophic issues emerged. None did.

The Graph Council then activated 5% of indexing rewards on L2 through governance vote, creating initial incentives while proving the system worked. This percentage increased incrementally until the full transition.

L2 Transfer Tools Changed the Game

The real user experience win came from custom transfer tools that eliminated the typical migration headache. Without them, Delegators would have needed to un-delegate GRT, wait through the undelegation period, manually bridge tokens (a 15-30 minute process), locate their Indexers on L2, and re-delegate while paying 0.5% delegation tax.

Instead, a single transaction handled everything—GRT bridged automatically, delegation relationships preserved. This reduced support tickets dramatically and kept the community intact during transition.

Current Market Reality

The technical achievement comes amid challenging market conditions for GRT. Coinbase delisted GRT perpetual futures on March 3rd, 2026, and social sentiment reflects tension between infrastructure believers and holders frustrated by price performance.

On the development front, The Graph’s Horizon Subgraph Service mainnet rollout scheduled for Q1 2026 aims to transform the protocol into a modular data layer—potentially the next catalyst for the network that now indexes data across Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, and Avalanche.

For protocols still running on L1, The Graph’s migration documentation serves as the most detailed public case study available. The message: L2 migration is achievable without fragmenting your community, but only with months of planning and purpose-built tooling.

Grayscale’s ‘first multi-crypto asset ETP’ in the works: Will BTC, ETH win?

Grayscale’s ‘first multi-crypto asset ETP’ in the works: Will BTC, ETH win?

The post Grayscale’s ‘first multi-crypto asset ETP’ in the works: Will BTC, ETH win? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways What does this approval mean for investors? It allows traditional investors to access diversified exposure to major cryptocurrencies without buying tokens directly. Which cryptocurrencies are included in GDLC? Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has greenlit the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) for stock exchange trading.  The approval, coinciding with relaxed ETF listing standards, opens the door for traditional investors to access the crypto market more easily and signals growing institutional support. Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg weighs in Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg confirmed the development on X (formerly Twitter), praising the SEC’s Crypto Task Force for providing much-needed clarity to the sector. He said,  “The Grayscale team is working expeditiously to bring the FIRST multi #crypto asset ETP to market with Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano.” He further added,  “Thank you to the SEC #Crypto Task Force for their continued, unmatched efforts in bringing the regulatory clarity our industry deserves.” The newly approved Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) offers investors exposure to five of the world’s largest cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], Ripple [XRP], Solana [SOL], and Cardano [ADA]. Impact on included tokens Following the announcement, markets reacted positively. BTC traded at $117,153.61 after a 0.69% rise in the past 24 hours, Ether climbed 2.02% to $4,579.73, XRP at $3.10 up by 3.07%, Solana at $245.94 up by 4.78%, and Cardano reached $0.9130 up by 4.85%, per CoinMarketCap. By packaging multiple cryptocurrencies into a single ETP, GDLC allows traditional investors to gain diversified crypto exposure without the need to open exchange accounts or purchase individual tokens. This green light comes just months after the SEC had delayed Grayscale’s plan to convert GDLC from an over-the-counter fund to an ETP listed on NYSE Arca. With approval now granted, the fund is…
