The Graph Overview
- What is The Graph?
The Graph is a decentralized protocol that enables developers to query data from blockchains, such as Ethereum and IPFS, and index it in a decentralized manner. It serves as an indexing protocol for organizing and accessing blockchain data, making it easier for developers to build decentralized applications (dApps). By using The Graph, developers can efficiently retrieve and process blockchain data without the need to run their own infrastructure or rely on centralized servers (node). The protocol provides a reliable and decentralized solution for accessing on-chain data, which is essential for the development of scalable and interoperable dApps.

Frequently asked questions
Subgraphs are APIs created by developers to define and query specific data from blockchains. They serve as the building blocks for dApps, enabling developers to access the data they need without having to run their own infrastructure.
Subgraph Developers: Create and deploy subgraphs, defining the data sets relevant to their dApps.
Indexers: Operate computer programs that process blockchain data and update subgraphs with the latest information. Indexers can earn rewards for their work.
Curators: Review and evaluate the quality and usefulness of subgraphs before they are widely used by dApps.
The Graph likely utilizes GraphQL, a query language specifically designed for APIs, making it easier for developers to interact with blockchain data.
