Five years of The Graph Germany on Telegram. 🇩🇪💜 Starting a group takes minutes. Answering questions, translating documentation and making sense of migrations for five years takes slightly more commitment. Our community first came together earlier in 2021. The official Telegram launch followed in November. On November 5, we celebrate that milestone. Since then: weekly updates, Medium articles, videos, German-language guides, scam warnings and countless conversations about Subgraphs, delegation and the evolution of The Graph. Along the way came collaboration with Graphtronauts and international Advocates, participation in Mission Control, becoming a Graph Guardian, and building GRTDataHub together with Liam Doyle from March 2022. GRTDataHub provided visual on-chain data, charts and multilingual chatbots that other communities could use. It was later dissolved for financial reasons. Its closure belongs in this story, just as the useful work we did together does. A special thank you to Oliver Zerhusen for the encouragement at the beginning, and to Liam Doyle for everything we built together. Thank you also to Ahmad Mardeni, Paolo Diomede, Yaniv, Nick Hansen, Tegan Kline, Pranav Maheshwari, Simon Emanuel Schmid, Kevin Jones, Yash, Sam Green, Derek Meyer, Ricky, Vincent and Lorena. Across community building, engineering, support, education, podcasts and infrastructure, your contributions have given us plenty to learn from—and plenty to translate. Thank you to the Graphtronauts, Advocates, Indexers, the Foundation and our fellow regional communities. And to former contributors who have moved on: your work remains part of our history. Changing direction does not erase what you helped build. Special recognition goes to the quiet contributors. The people who answer another beginner’s question, correct a mistake, find the right link or welcome someone new. Their patience rarely appears on a dashboard. You notice its value when nobody is there to offer it. If I have left anyone unnamed, please consider it deliberate—for your protection from public appreciation and the inevitable follow-up: “Since you know so much, could you quickly help with…?” 😉 My gratitude includes you all. Five years of shared learning, difficult questions and remarkable patience. Thank you for reading, contributing, disagreeing thoughtfully and sticking around—even when the market was miserable and the documentation offered little emotional support. Here’s to the next chapter. And perhaps a few months in which a “quick update” actually stays quick. Andy – The Graph Germany t.me/TheGraph_Germany #TheGraph #GRT – at Bad Aibling, Deutschland
