Graph Governance Proposal-0010

Subgraph ownership transfer using external NFT contract

This proposal is to upgrade The Graph’s protocol smart contracts running on Ethereum mainnet with the changes described in Graph Improvement Proposal (GIP) 0023, to enable subgraphs to be transferred as NFTs. The full motivation and scope are described in GIP-0023.

GIP-0023 supersedes GIP-0018, which had previously been approved by The Graph Council in Graph Governance Proposal (GGP) 0008. The Council aborted the upgrade described in GGP-0008 because a non-critical issue was discovered during testing of the changes, which would have impacted interoperability of subgraph NFTs with existing NFT wallets and explorers.

Following a successful “yes” vote, the protocol upgrade should be carried out at the earliest convenience using The Graph Council’s Gnosis Multisig.

The code deployed that implements GIP-0023 must correspond to the commit hash included in the front matter of this governance proposal.
