GIP: 0010 Title: Update rewards snapshot when close allocation with empty POI Authors: Ariel Barmat ariel@edgeandnode.com Created: 2021-06-15 Stage: Candidate Implementations: https://github.com/graphprotocol/contracts/pull/459 GIP: 0011 Title: Delegation parameters initialization when used from stakeTo Authors: Ariel Barmat ariel@edgeandnode.com Created: 2021-06-14 Stage: Candidate Implementations: https://github.com/graphprotocol/contracts/pull/457 GIP: 0012 Title: Reduced gas usage by caching address resolution Authors: Ariel Barmat ariel@edgeandnode.com Created: 2021-06-14 Stage: Candidate Implementations: https://github.com/graphprotocol/contracts/pull/430 This proposal is to upgrade The Graph’s protocol smart contracts running on Ethereum mainnet with the changes described in Graph Improvement Proposals (GIP) 0010, 0011, 0012. The motivation and scope of the changes are captured in the language of the proposal itself.

The code deployed that implements GIP-0010, GIP-0011 and GIP-0012 must correspond to the commit hash included in the front matter of this governance proposal, which corresponds to the version of the implementation that was audited by OpenZeppelin including fixes.

Following a successful “yes” vote, given that the change described in the GIPs are backwards compatible, the protocol upgrade should be carried out at the earliest convenience using The Graph Council’s Gnosis Multisig.
