The Graph: Making Blockchain Data Accessible
The Graph: Making Blockchain Data Accessible
馃攳 Web3's Missing Search Engine
The Graph continues to establish itself as a crucial infrastructure layer for web3, serving as the indexing and query protocol that makes blockchain data more accessible and usable.
- Developers can create and publish open APIs (subgraphs)
- These subgraphs organize blockchain data in user-friendly formats
- The protocol enables efficient querying of blockchain information
The Graph effectively transforms raw blockchain data into a public utility, making it more practical for widespread adoption and application development.

Blockchain data is public infrastructure. The Graph makes it usable, reliable, and accessible across web3.
