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 most common process for buying The Graph (GRT) with Swiss Francs (CHF)?
To buy The Graph (GRT) with Swiss Francs, you typically use a regulated cryptocurrency exchange that offers a direct CHF fiat on-ramp. The process involves completing KYC/AML compliance, depositing CHF via a Swiss bank transfer or a credit/debit card, and then executing a trade on the CHF/GRT order book. This direct digital asset purchase avoids intermediate currency conversions. -
Beyond trading, what is the core function of the GRT token within The Graph's decentralized indexing protocol?
GRT is the essential work token of The Graph's network. It's used by participants to ensure the integrity of Web3 data. Indexers stake GRT to provide indexing services, Curators stake GRT to signal on valuable subgraphs, and Delegators stake GRT to support Indexers. This system creates a decentralized marketplace for querying blockchain data via GraphQL APIs. -
What security practices are essential when using a Swiss fiat gateway to acquire GRT tokens?
When using a Swiss fiat gateway, prioritize exchanges that adhere to FINMA regulations for enhanced security. Always enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account. After purchasing GRT, it is a security best practice to withdraw the digital asset from the exchange to a personal digital wallet, preferably a hardware wallet, where you control the private keys. -
How does acquiring GRT with CHF allow me to interact with 'subgraphs' on The Graph network?
Acquiring GRT with CHF gives you the economic tool to participate in the network's data economy. Subgraphs are open APIs for accessing indexed blockchain data. As a GRT holder, you can act as a Curator, staking GRT to signal on high-quality subgraphs, or as a Delegator to support Indexers. Developers also use GRT to pay query fees for retrieving data from these subgraphs. -
Why might a trader in Switzerland prefer a direct CHF/GRT trading pair over using EUR or USD?
A direct CHF/GRT trading pair offers significant advantages. It eliminates currency conversion fees that arise from first changing CHF to EUR or USD before buying the digital asset. Using a local fiat on-ramp, such as a Swiss bank transfer, is often faster and more cost-effective. Furthermore, it can provide better liquidity and price discovery directly against the local currency.
