The Graph, renowned as the pioneer decentralized data marketplace, standardizes subgraphs as the method for indexing and accessing blockchain data across 50+ blockchains. The Sunrise Upgrade Program, fueled by community engagement, features missions encompassing both technical and non-technical tasks, from content creation to network contributions.
CEO of Edge & Node, Tegan Kline, emphasized the program’s inclusivity, stating:
“The Graph seeks to liberate data amidst monopolies and centralized entities. The Sunrise Upgrade Program invites individuals from diverse backgrounds to join our mission of data democratization. We welcome participation across various skills, from writing and marketing to engineering.”

The Sunrise Upgrade Program comprises two tracks:
Web3 Visionary Track: Focuses on expanding The Graph ecosystem’s reach by educating about The Graph Network, promoting data autonomy, and creating content across social channels.
Web3 Builder Track: Encourages participants to champion data sovereignty by upgrading hosted service subgraphs to The Graph Network, querying existing subgraphs, assisting others in querying the network, and providing example code.
The program spans six weeks from May 2 to June 20, featuring multiple mission releases with varying requirements and deadlines. Participants can expect rewards based on the completion of tasks, with detailed reward ranges outlined on the program’s page.
The Graph’s Sunrise of Decentralized Data initiative, the backbone of the program, facilitates the seamless migration of subgraphs to The Graph Network, unlocking new use cases and data services outlined in The Graph’s New Era roadmap.
The program’s application window opens on April 30. For eligibility and sign-up details, visit the official program page.
