{% hint style="info" %}
The Content subgraph takes a few seconds to a few minutes to update. Please wait for the transaction to propagate.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### \[Alpha Testnet Known Issue]

Once propagated, if the newly creates smart contract did not populate the information, it means the IPFS metadata wasn't propagated properly and TheGraph was not able to parse the metadata. We're looking to switch from Arweave to IPFS, but it is currently not yet supported on TheGraph. The transition will take some time.

In the meantime, please just redeploy a new smart contract.&#x20;
