Blockchain data retrieval is a big challenge for most dapps.
The Graph solves this by creating subgraphs - open APIs that allow developers to quickly retrieve specific blockchain events and transaction histories by using $GRT on The Graph network.
Here’s the actual GRC-20 spec ✨
If you’re technical and you dive in, you’ll find the blueprint for a whole new world.
Hidden in here are the answers to many of the world’s structural problems..
https://t.co/YmFYiwhmg1
So excited to introduce the world to years of work & experimentation to find the right primatives for knowledge.
Introducing GRC-20 🎉
A new knowledge graph standard on The Graph. We can now create open, verifiable and *composable* applications creating a whole new web 🌈
🎉 Datapalooza 2024 is finally here!
Expect a full day of talks, panels, and workshops by builders and experts exploring the next big things in web3 data!
Here’s the official speaker list ⬇️
1/ We may see a new Semantic Web emerge soon. For those paying attention, there's real alpha in this post from @yanivgraph#Web3 gives us the tools to build an open, composable, pluralistic and governable knowledge graph that can become a common good for apps to build on top of!
I still can’t believe what the @graphprotocol ecosystem just pulled off with the sunrise. Truly a next level of execution across all the teams.
Thank you to all the projects that upgraded to the network. Excited to build web3 together 💪
📢 Now Available! Ep. 174 w/ @PallerJohn, Founder/Steward @EthereumDenver & @opolis. Listen for John’s insights on reciprocity, what he’s learned through leading ETHDenver, how Opolis is disrupting employment paradigms!

🎓 The Graph Foundation is thrilled to announce the return of Graph On Campus for 2024!
Building on the success of last year's events, Graph on Campus is expanding to new universities and schools throughout the world, to ignite the passion of budding web3 leaders and inspire the next generations of new builders ✨
Graph On Campus will engage students and across campuses worldwide, providing hands-on experience and unlocking a universe of opportunities in The Graph and web3 ecosystem 🌐
Students will learn the fundamentals of building powerful dapps via The Graph, with workshops, meet and greets, and a week-long hackathon featuring up to $2,000 in bounties 🏆
📅 Stay tuned for the 2024 calendar, featuring events at Ashesi University (Eastern Region, Ghana), DAVV Indore (Madhya Pradesh, India), IIT Gandhinagar (Gujarat, India), IT Delhi (Delhi, India), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (Ashanti Region, Ghana), Mahendra University (Andhra Pradesh, India), SRM KTR (Tamil Nadu, India), and Zhejiang University (Zhejiang, China).
Be part of the next generation of web3 innovation!
See you on campus!

In Q1 2024, The Graph Network saw substantial growth in queries, reaching an all-time high of over 1.5 billion, up 65% from just shy of 1 billion in Q4’23. This growth accompanies updates recently shipped by core devs, enabling developers to easily take advantage of low cost, reliable and permissionless decentralized data ⚡
Here are the top 8 key takeaways from the Q1 2024 Participant Update ⬇️
1️⃣ The Graph Network experienced significant growth, serving 1.5+ billion queries—a 65% quarter-over-quarter increase. Additionally, the number of subgraphs published on the network grew by over 30%, exceeding 1,900 subgraphs.
2️⃣ The Sunray Phase of the Sunrise of Decentralized Data concluded with the launch of key developer centric features including a free query plan, payment by credit card or GRT with access to 5️⃣0️⃣+ chains on the network.
3️⃣ The Graph added support for Bitcoin data by introducing a Bitcoin explorer module, a composable BRC-20 Substreams Module and a BRC-20 Substreams module, facilitating the integration of data into subgraphs for GraphQL queries.
4️⃣ Members of The Graph’s leadership teams traveled to Asia and participated in community events, engaged with the local web3 communities and strengthened The Graph ecosystem’s relationships with key thought leaders in the region.
5️⃣ Looking ahead, Sunbeam (Phase 2 of the Sunrise of Decentralized Data) concludes on June 12th. This milestone marks the end of the subgraph upgrade window in which hosted service subgraphs must upgrade to the network.
6️⃣ Firehose is now integrated with @go_ethereum. The 44% of Ethereum devs that make use of GETH can now get natively deeper insights, more precise event ordering, pattern matching, simpler and a more reliable integration, lower latency and super fast reprocessing times.
7️⃣ The Graph is saving the blobs! Developers now have two ways to access blob data (EIP-4844) - through either the consensus layer or the execution layer.
8️⃣ The Graph ecosystem can expect many exciting announcements coming in the near future around new data services live on the network and served by an ecosystem of Indexers earning GRT. Core Devs (@edgeandnode, @streamingfastio, @semioticlabs, @TheGuildDev, @MessariCrypto, @graphopsxyz, @PinaxNetwork, and @geoprotocol) will continue to execute on the New Era Roadmap by integrating SQL query capability and a SQL data service, File Hosting Service, new micropayment system Scalar TAP, AI data services and more.
The Graph's Q1 2024 Participant Update establishes a clear watermark for web3 and decentralized data. The Graph’s expansion across many chains as well as progress on new developer experience enhancing features and new data services is expanding what’s possible with decentralized data in web3. Accessing more diverse data across more blockchains has never been easier for dapp developers and data consumers.
The best part: The Graph has many more big announcements to come throughout 2024 🌟
