About The Graph:

The Graph serves as the indexing and query layer of web3. The Graph Network introduced a self-service experience for developers in July 2021, enabling them to build and publish open APIs called subgraphs, extractable through GraphQL by applications. The Graph has accommodated data indexing from various networks including Ethereum, NEAR, Arbitrium, and more. The network caters to over 28,000 developers who have crafted subgraphs for renowned applications like Uniswap, Synthetix, Balancer, and more.

If you are a developer involved in building web3 applications, you can utilize subgraphs for indexing and querying blockchain data through The Graph. It facilitates efficient data representation in UIs and aids other developers in using your subgraphs as well.

The Graph Foundation oversees The Graph Network and is supported by the Technical Council. Notable organizations within The Graph ecosystem include Edge & Node, StreamingFast, Messari, Semiotic, and The Guild.
