Problem
Alchemy Subgraphs sunset on December 8, 2025. All subgraphs and query endpoints will be spun down, requiring migration to maintain indexing functionality.
Current dependencies on Alchemy Subgraphs:
- Request Network SDK
- Hasura GraphQL Gateway (upstream to Request Scan and Request Network API)
Request Invoicing application (decommissioned - see #64)
Migration Status
Proposed Solution
Migrate to TheGraph Subgraph Studio as the primary subgraph hosting provider.
Rationale:
- Proven reliability and ecosystem maturity
- Native support for all networks used by Request Network
- Established migration path from Alchemy
- Cost-effective for our query volume
Rejected alternative: Goldsky (Alchemy's recommended partner) — decided against due to added complexity of migrating to a new provider when Subgraph Studio already meets our needs.
