Description

As a preparation to get into mainnet, you'll now create your Indexer account by joining The Graph’s testnet (Goerli) and learning the basics of the protocol. Once done with Mission #1, participants will need to fill out a new form.

Phase 1 FAQ 🤔

How to move between missions

1. Start with Mission #1.
2. Fill out the form.
3. Wait for Goerli GRT to be sent. The target date is October 31, 2022 7:00 PM.
4. Start with Mission #2 after Goerli block number 7872420
   1. The target date is November 1, 2022 6:25 PM, according to https://goerli.etherscan.io/block/countdown/7872420.
   2. Past the shared block time, proceed with Mission #2 by creating the Indexer using the address shared before (step 2) and Goerli GRT from step 3.
   3. If using an existing address / Indexer, make sure you first unstake any Goerli GRT before block number 7872420. Creating a new wallet as part of Mission #1 is highly recommended.
5. Move to Mission #3 whenever ready. MIPs traffic should start flowing November 1, 2022 9:00 PM.
