I suspect building this off-chain creates operating dependencies that are unhealthy for our ecosystem.
I think defining these dependencies more formally, in a consistent format, with an open transparent process is great.
But I think we are going to end up with dependencies on this off-chain information and process that we do not want. This off-chain approach will create failure risks and new attack vectors?

GIP number needs to be quoted to avoid being treated as a number when parsing (resulting in 0s dropped).

| As The Graph ecosystem expands to support an increasing number of blockchain networks, managing network data consistently becomes more challenging. The absence of a unified, standardized method for documenting and updating network information can lead to inconsistencies and confusion among developers, indexers, and community members. | ||

| Establishing a Supported Networks Registry allows The Graph to centralize and standardize network data maintenance. This initiative simplifies chain integration, enhances indexer operations, and provides a seamless experience for developers working across diverse blockchain infrastructures. The registry ensures that The Graph’s ecosystem can scale efficiently, with transparent governance and clear processes for integrating new networks. |

These are all really good to address and important, so I hope we continue on the path to creating such a registry.
I wonder if we are better off creating an on-chain registry, rather than building an off-chain dependency for the ecosystem.
This PR introduces GIP-0082, a proposal to establish the Supported Networks Registry for The Graph ecosystem. The GIP is currently marked as Draft and is open for feedback.
