What is a Subgraph in The Graph?

A Subgraph is an open API that defines how to index specific blockchain data. Developers create subgraphs to make their protocol's data queryable, and other developers query them using GraphQL.

What role do Indexers play in The Graph?

Indexers are node operators who stake GRT to index subgraph data and process queries. They earn query fees and indexing rewards in return.

Yes, GRT holders can delegate their tokens to Indexers to earn a share of query fees and indexing rewards without running a node themselves.

Which protocols use The Graph?

Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Synthetix, Decentraland, and hundreds of other DeFi and NFT protocols rely on The Graph for efficient blockchain data queries.

Can I swap GRT without KYC?

Yes. SyntheticSwap supports GRT swaps with no account or identity verification required.

About The Graph

The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying blockchain data, often described as 'Google for blockchains.' It enables developers to build and publish open APIs (called Subgraphs) that applications can query using GraphQL. Indexers stake GRT tokens to index subgraph data and earn query fees. The Graph is foundational infrastructure for Web3, used by Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Decentraland, and hundreds of other DeFi and NFT projects to access blockchain data efficiently.

How to Swap GRT

Swap The Graph GRT tokens on SyntheticSwap without registration or KYC. Select GRT as your source or destination currency, enter your Ethereum wallet address, choose the amount, and confirm the exchange at the current market rate. Your tokens are delivered directly to your wallet.

How to Store GRT

GRT is an ERC-20 token stored in any Ethereum-compatible wallet. MetaMask is the most widely used option for GRT holders who also want to delegate GRT to indexers through The Graph's delegation portal. Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets support GRT for cold storage. Delegating GRT requires using a Web3 wallet with the Ethereum mainnet network.
