THE GRAPH — 2024-5

GRT is an open-source protocol that enables efficient indexing and querying on blockchains. Ethereum, Solana, Polygon are just a few of the 70+ chains on chains available to query on The Graph Network, and more are being added every month. Often called the “Google for blockchains,” The Graph allows developers to retrieve data from blockchains without relying on centralized servers or traditional databases. It also removes the need to self-host expensive data servers or rely on a full-time data team. This indexing capability is crucial for decentralized applications (dapps) to operate smoothly, as data needs to be accessible in real-time to offer users a seamless experience.

The Graph is pioneering a new data standard for web3 with GRC-20, a proposed common language for data across web3. Just as ERC-20 standardized value on Ethereum, GRC-20 will standardize data, information & knowledge and bring web3 to life.
