• subgraphs/

  • basic-examples/
    • init-subgraph: "Hello world" starter generated via graph init; ideal for first-time users wanting to see the file layout and deploy something fast. (last updated April 2025)
    • arweave-blocks-transactions: Indexes Arweave blocks, transactions, tags and proofs-of-access; includes sample GraphQL queries for time-bounded block ranges. (last updated June 2022)
    • near-blocks-example: Simplest NEAR template indexing the chain's blocks to illustrate NEAR manifest syntax and block handlers. (last updated April 2025)

    • cosmos-block-filtering: Cosmos Hub-compatible subgraph that captures every block header; scripts let you regenerate manifests for any Cosmos-SDK chain. (last updated April 2025)
    • cosmos-validator-rewards: Tracks validator reward events on Cosmos chains, building per-validator reward histories. (last updated April 2025)
    • cosmos-validator-delegations: Captures delegation messages, mapping delegator → validator and amounts—good reference for message decoding in Cosmos. (last updated March 2023)
    • cosmos-osmosis-token-swaps: Watches GAMM swap events on Osmosis to build a history of token swaps for any account. (last updated March 2023)

  • features/
    • blocks: Cross-network template that indexes block metadata (number, timestamp, etc.), letting you query blocks by number or time on any supported chain. (last updated April 2024)
    • composable-subgraph: Minimal demo of The Graph's subgraph composition feature where a composed subgraph consumes entities from three smaller block subgraphs for modular, reusable data pipelines. (last updated March 2025)
    • timeseries-and-aggregations-1: Lightweight sandbox that focuses purely on the mechanics of custom timeseries aggregations using predictable block numbers—perfect for learning aggregation syntax. (last updated Feb 2025)
    • timeseries-and-aggregations-2: Example demonstrating timeseries and aggregations with The Graph, using CryptoPunks events (transfers, bids, sales) to showcase data aggregation over time. Includes a video walkthrough. (last updated Feb 2025)
    • aggregations: Demonstrates custom timeseries aggregations using predictable block numbers; schema, manifest, and mappings are heavily commented to teach aggregation patterns. (last updated April 2025)
    • matic-lens-protocol-posts-subgraph: Indexes posts from Lens Protocol on the Polygon (Matic) network to illustrate social-graph data indexing and file data sources indexing from IPFS and Arweave. (last updated August 2024)
  • full-stack-examples/
    • full-stack-dapp: A workshop and template for full-stack dapp development using Scaffold-ETH 2 and The Graph. Covers environment setup, smart-contract deployment, subgraph creation, and frontend integration. Includes a video replay. (last updated Jan 2024)
    • hackathon-react-apollo-app: React + Apollo + Material-UI hackathon starter that shows how to wire a subgraph endpoint into a modern UI component stack. (last updated 2018-03-22)
    • eth-denver-dapp: Step-by-step workshop repo from ETHDenver that spins up Ganache, a local Graph Node, deploys an example subgraph and connects it to a React front-end. (last updated 2022-12-09)
  • examples-with-workshops/
    • subgraph-beginner-development-workshop: Hands-on workshop (video + slides) that walks through building a CryptoPunks starter subgraph, extending entities, and writing advanced queries—ideal for new subgraph devs. (last updated April 2025)
    • file-data-sources: Workshop on using File Data Sources in subgraphs, including a fully functional example subgraph that implements File Data Sources and Full-Text Search, using the Beanz NFT collection as a case study. Includes slides. (last updated Feb 2024)
    • query-the-graph: Workshop on querying subgraphs. Covers creating API keys, sending demo queries, and methods for querying using Vanilla JS, Python (Flask), graph-client, and React Apollo. Includes slides. (last updated May 2024)

• token-api/

  • token-api-quickstart: Provides examples for integrating The Graph's Token API directly via React and through Cursor MCP. Covers token balances, transfers, and multi-chain support. (last updated May 2025)
