Subgraph Downtime Podcast

Data Sourcing and Downtime on the Goblins Protocol

The Goblins web app relies on subgraphs from The Graph Protocol to source data for token and liquidity providing charts across various networks. While these subgraphs are generally reliable, there may be occasional downtime affecting data availability.

Impact of Subgraph Downtime

When a subgraph experiences downtime, it results in the absence of token and liquidity providing charts for certain networks. However, Goblins expects these downtimes to be resolved promptly, ensuring that data access is restored as quickly as possible.

Continuity During Downtime

Despite subgraph downtime, you can continue to swap and provide liquidity for all tokens on the Goblins Protocol without any interruptions.

Checking Token Prices During Downtime

Simulate a Swap

To check a token’s price information during subgraph downtime, you can simulate a swap on the Goblins web app. This provides real-time price data based on the current market conditions.

Alternative Price Trackers

You can also check token prices on other cryptocurrency price tracking platforms:

Note: Information on these external sites may not always be accurate, so use them with caution and verify with multiple sources if possible.

Tips and Considerations

Staying Informed

  • Check Updates: Keep an eye on updates from Goblins regarding the status of subgraphs to stay informed about any ongoing or resolved downtime.
  • Use Reliable Sources: During subgraph downtime, rely on simulations and trusted external price trackers to ensure you are making informed decisions.

Managing Transactions

  • Simulate Trades: Before executing trades, simulate them on the Goblins web app to get the most accurate price data available.
  • Verify Information: Cross-check prices from different sources to confirm accuracy during periods when subgraph data is unavailable.

Summary

While the Goblins Protocol depends on The Graph Protocol’s subgraphs for displaying token and liquidity providing charts, occasional downtime may affect data availability. However, you can still perform swaps and provide liquidity without disruption. To check token prices during such downtimes, simulate swaps on the Goblins web app or refer to external price tracking sites. Always stay informed and verify information to make well-informed trading decisions.
