| description | This page summarizes the core concepts and basics of The Graph Network. |
The Graph is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying blockchain data across 80+ networks.
Its data services include:
- Subgraphs: Open APIs to query blockchain data that can be created or queried by anyone.
- Substreams: High-performance data streams for real-time blockchain processing, built with modular components.
- Token API: Instant access to standardized token data requiring zero setup.
Reading data from blockchains requires processing smart contract events, parsing metadata from IPFS, and manually aggregating data.
The result is slow performance, complex infrastructure, and scalability issues.
The Graph uses a combination of cutting-edge research, core dev expertise, and independent Indexers to make blockchain data accessible for developers.
