The Graph (GRT) is a decentralized, open-source indexing protocol for blockchain data.
It is designed to enable queries on the Ethereum network and other blockchains, facilitating access to data for decentralized applications (dApps).
Main features:
Decentralization: The Graph operates without a central authority, allowing anyone to create and publish subgraphs, which are open APIs for extracting data from the blockchain.
Query efficiency: Uses the GraphQL query language, allowing developers to access data quickly and efficiently.
Growing Ecosystem: Thousands of developers rely on The Graph to create first-class user experiences, with a rich ecosystem of community-created subgraphs.
Utilities:
dApp Development: Makes it easy for developers to build decentralized applications that require efficient access to blockchain data.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Enables the creation of DeFi platforms that operate on the Ethereum network and other blockchains, offering financial services without intermediaries.
Data Analytics: Provides tools to analyze and visualize blockchain data, supporting informed decision making.
Whitepaper:
The Graph whitepaper is available on its official website.
