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 GEL/GRT trading pair and its function in the crypto market?
The GEL/GRT trading pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp allowing users to purchase The Graph's native utility token, GRT, using Georgian Lari (GEL). Its function is to provide a direct conversion pathway, enabling participation in The Graph's decentralized indexing protocol. This protocol is crucial for querying data from blockchains like Ethereum, making it a foundational piece of Web3 infrastructure. -
What are the common methods for purchasing GRT with Georgian Lari?
To purchase GRT with GEL, you typically need to use a cryptocurrency exchange that supports this specific fiat gateway. The process involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML verification, depositing GEL via a Georgian bank transfer or local payment methods, and then placing an order on the GEL/GRT order book to acquire the digital asset. -
What are subgraphs, and how do they relate to the GRT token's utility?
Subgraphs are open APIs that developers build to organize and serve blockchain data efficiently, making it easy to query. The GRT token is the economic engine of The Graph network; it is used to secure the network and incentivize participants like Indexers, Curators, and Delegators who work to process data for these subgraphs. Consumers pay query fees in GRT, creating a vibrant data economy. -
Are there specific security practices to follow when trading GEL for GRT?
Absolutely. Always use a reputable cryptocurrency exchange with strong security measures, including two-factor authentication (2FA). After purchasing, it is highly recommended to withdraw your GRT, an ERC-20 token, from the exchange to a personal, non-custodial digital wallet. A hardware wallet offers the highest level of security for your digital assets against online threats. -
Why might a user in Georgia prefer a direct GEL/GRT pair over converting to USD first?
Using a direct GEL/GRT pair is more efficient. It helps avoid double conversion fees (GEL to USD, then USD to GRT) and potential value loss from currency fluctuation between two trades. It also simplifies the digital asset purchase process for Georgian residents, providing a streamlined fiat on-ramp directly into The Graph's Web3 data economy.
