About
The Graph (GRT)
The Graph (GRT) is a decentralized indexing protocol for querying and organizing data from blockchains, akin to a search engine for the Web3 ecosystem. It addresses a critical challenge in blockchain technology: the difficulty of efficiently retrieving specific on-chain data. Before The Graph, developers had to build and operate proprietary indexing servers, a resource-intensive process. This protocol provides a foundational middleware layer, enabling decentralized applications (dApps) to query complex smart contract data through open APIs called subgraphs, significantly streamlining the development of DeFi applications and other Web3 infrastructure.
At its core, the network utilizes a work token, GRT, to coordinate participants: Indexers, Curators, and Delegators. Indexers operate nodes and stake GRT to process queries and provide indexing services. Curators are subgraph developers or data consumers who signal which subgraphs are high-quality by staking GRT. Delegators contribute to network security by delegating their GRT to existing Indexers. This tokenomics model creates a vibrant data economy powered by cryptographic security. By leveraging GraphQL as its query language, The Graph offers a powerful tool, solidifying its position as an essential component for building truly decentralized applications on a global, verifiable digital ledger.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the BRL/GRT pair and why is it important for Web3 developers in Brazil?
The BRL/GRT pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp for purchasing The Graph (GRT) tokens using Brazilian Real. It's crucial for Brazilian Web3 developers as it allows them to easily acquire GRT, the utility token essential for paying query fees, delegating to indexers, or curating data on The Graph's decentralized indexing protocol. This direct access simplifies participation in the core infrastructure of the Web3 data economy using local currency. -
What are the common payment methods to buy The Graph (GRT) with Brazilian Real (BRL)?
To buy GRT with BRL, most users on Brazilian cryptocurrency exchanges utilize Pix for instant, low-cost bank transfers. Another popular method is a TED wire transfer, which is also reliable but might have different processing times. Some platforms may still offer Boleto Bancário, though it's slower. All reputable fiat gateway exchanges will require KYC/AML compliance before you can deposit BRL. -
What is a 'subgraph' and how does it relate to the value of my GRT purchased with BRL?
A subgraph is a custom, open API built on The Graph that indexes and organizes data from a blockchain, making it easily queryable via GraphQL. The GRT you purchase with BRL is the direct economic fuel for this system. Developers pay query fees in GRT to use these subgraphs, and network participants (Indexers, Curators, Delegators) earn GRT for providing their services. Therefore, the utility and demand for subgraphs directly drive the tokenomics and functional value of your GRT holdings. -
Are there specific regulatory considerations for BRL to GRT transactions in Brazil?
Yes, when converting BRL to GRT, you must use a cryptocurrency exchange that complies with Brazilian regulations. This includes adherence to rules set by the Brazilian Central Bank and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil (CVM). Exchanges must implement robust KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures, meaning you will need to verify your identity. This ensures a secure trading environment and compliance with local financial laws. -
After buying GRT with BRL, how can I participate in The Graph's network, for example, by delegating?
Once you've acquired GRT via a BRL on-ramp, you should transfer your tokens to a secure, non-custodial digital wallet (like MetaMask). From your wallet, you can access The Graph's ecosystem. Delegating involves staking your GRT with an existing Indexer. This helps secure the network and, in return, you can earn a portion of the query fees and indexing rewards that the Indexer collects, providing a way to put your digital asset to work.
