ABOUT THE GRAPH

It is designed to enable queries on the Ethereum network. The Graph network also allows developers to create a variety of APIs known as subgraphs for different queries. The protocol addresses issues such as query security, finality of ownership, chain reorganization, and other matters that are resolved with subgraphs.

With the launch of The Graph mainnet, the team paved the way for the complete decentralization of applications, creating a network of service providers where decentralized applications (dApps) can operate seamlessly with blockchain information readily accessible. With an open and public API called subgraphs, thousands of applications can operate on the network, while The Graph mainnet is already hosting hundreds of them.

The Graph had a public and a private sale, raising $12 million from its public token sale. The project raised an additional $5 million from a private sale funded by Coinbase Ventures, Digital Currency Group, and Framework Ventures. Multicoin Capital also invested $2.5 million in The Graph. The network relies on nodes that operate The Graph's main network and provide a seamless environment for dApps and developers, while indexers, curators, and delegators participate in the market using GRT tokens. GRT is the native cryptocurrency on The Graph network and is used to allocate resources within The Graph ecosystem.
