The Graph

The Graph (GRT)

The Graph is an innovative indexing protocol and global API designed to organize and make blockchain data easily accessible through GraphQL. It empowers developers to search, find, and publish vital public data necessary for building decentralized applications (dApps) using the Graph Explorer.

Key Features

• Serverless DApps: The Graph Network enables the creation of serverless dApps that operate entirely on public infrastructure, thus eliminating the need for developers to manage their own data servers.
• Cost Efficiency: By leveraging The Graph's competitive data market, developers can reduce infrastructure costs by as much as 60-98%.
• High Availability: The platform boasts an impressive uptime of over 99.99%, ensuring constant access to data through a globally distributed network.

Native Token: GRT

GRT is the native token of The Graph Network, functioning as an ERC20 token that facilitates coordination of work within the ecosystem. Node operators, known as Indexers, stake GRT and earn rewards for processing queries. Additionally, users can delegate their GRT to Indexers to bolster network security and receive incentives.

Community Roles

The Graph ecosystem is built on collaboration among various participants:

• Curators: They organize data on The Graph by signaling GRT on valuable APIs, or subgraphs.
• Delegators: They support Indexers and secure the network by delegating GRT.
• Subgraph Developers: They create subgraphs to structure smart contract data for efficient querying.

Applications and Ecosystem

With support for over 70 networks, The Graph facilitates the creation of a wide array of applications across various sectors, including DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, analytics, and gaming. Developers can easily access organized data through subgraphs, allowing for swift and responsive application development.

Join the Ecosystem

The Graph welcomes participants of all backgrounds, offering numerous opportunities to engage in this collaborative ecosystem. Whether as a data consumer, developer, indexer, or curator, anyone can contribute to the evolving landscape of Web3.
