The Graph is a decentralized indexing protocol that makes blockchain data queryable through a GraphQL API. Applications use Subgraphs (open API schemas) to define which blockchain data to index, and The Graph's network of indexers retrieve and serve this data in response to queries. GRT is used to pay for queries and as staking collateral for network participants.
The Graph network has four roles: Indexers (node operators who stake GRT to index Subgraphs and earn query fees), Curators (signal GRT on which Subgraphs to index using bonding curves), Delegators (stake GRT to indexers for a share of rewards), and Developers (pay GRT for query fees). Indexers process GraphQL queries against indexed blockchain data and compete on price and quality. The network initially launched on Ethereum and has expanded to 55+ chains. Inflation (~3% annually) rewards network participants; query fees create additional revenue. A burn mechanism destroys a portion of query fees.

Querying blockchain data directly (e.g., 'show all Uniswap trades for a wallet') requires running a full node and building complex indexing infrastructure β prohibitively expensive for most developers. The Graph provides a decentralized, shared indexing layer where developers pay small per-query fees instead of building their own infrastructure. Most major DeFi protocols rely on The Graph for their front-end data.
The dominant decentralized indexing layer for Web3, powering the data queries behind most major DeFi and dApp front-ends across 55+ blockchains through an open Subgraph marketplace.
