Building on Hypergraph I Kevin Jones

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

Kevin Jones, Developer Relations Engineer at Edge & Node, presents an overview and live demo of building on Hypergraph, a new framework from The Graph Protocol for developing knowledge graph-based Web3 applications. He covers The Graph’s decentralized data indexing network, subgraphs, Token API, substreams, Firehose, and MCP servers for AI integration. Hypergraph introduces a knowledge graph model with entities, types, properties, and spaces, enabling optimized, structured data storage and curation. It supports both public and private data via a local-first sync server, with selective publishing to IPFS and blockchain. The framework is type-first (TypeScript), AI-friendly, and supports real-time collaboration and governance. Kevin demonstrates creating an academic app using Hypergraph CLI, defining schemas, managing private/public spaces, and publishing data on-chain. He highlights available bounties, resources, and starter templates for hackathon participants, encouraging developers to leverage Hypergraph for innovative Web3 and AI-powered applications. 00:00 Introduction 00:17 About Kevin Jones & The Graph Protocol 00:36 Overview of The Graph: Subgraphs, Token API, Substreams 03:04 MCP Servers & AI Integration 03:53 Developer Resources & Example Repos 04:33 Introduction to Hypergraph 05:15 Knowledge Graphs & Data Modeling 06:26 Spaces, Entities, and Relations 08:01 Public vs Private Data & Sync Server 08:54 Application Architecture & Governance 09:23 TypeScript, AI, and Data Querying 11:06 Publishing Data: Private & Public 12:08 Prizes & Bounties 13:29 Project Ideas & Documentation 14:12 Hypergraph Demo Introduction 14:37 Quickstart & App Templates 15:21 Schema Definition & App Generation 18:40 App Structure & Code Walkthrough 19:40 Running the App & Authentication 21:06 Creating and Publishing Data 21:59 Conclusion & Q&A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇫🇷 *ETHGlobal Cannes* This workshop is specifically for ETHGlobal Cannes, a 3-day hackathon held July 4-6, bringing together the most skilled web3 developers, designers and product builders from all around the globe for a weekend-long adventure to advance the Ethereum ecosystem!
