The GRAPH - Google Of Blockchains? GRT Token Explained

So what is The Graph Protocol all about? Why do some people call it the Google of Blockchains? And what is the use case for the GRT token? You’ll find answers to these questions in this video.
The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying blockchain data that enables the creation of fully decentralized applications.
The project was started in late 2017 by a trio of software engineers who were frustrated by the lack of tooling in the Ethereum ecosystem which made building decentralized applications hard. After a few years of work and a lot of iterations, The Graph went live in Dec 2020.
The Graph, as one of the infrastructure protocols, can be quite tricky to grasp, so before we jump into the details, let’s try to understand what indexing - the main concept behind The Graph - actually is.

Thank you! :)

[@coolhead8686]

As a software engineer, I fully understood your explanation. This is very good for blockchains.

[@bitcoins4489]

I remember making a Steem analytics app in 2017 and had to go through so much redundant indexing. This caused me to add an asynchronous loading button to acquire more data so the end user doesn’t have to wait for everything to load. The crypto world isn’t aware on how important this is and how impactful it will be!

[@dennisdecoene]

They say you have to truly understand a concept to be able to explain it. Well, I couldn't repeat this subject even at gunpoint. So kudos my friend.

[@rosarioporalmasdelpurgatorio]

We have been given a rare opportunity. I see the opportunity to buy GRT now as being able to buy Google stock back in 2002. Buy and just keep buying at any price this will only get bigger and bigger. The Graph was also listed on Coinbase IMMEDIATELY as it went out to the retail buyers, that along is a tell tell sign. Great video, thank you.

Excellent presentation, btw the idea of searchable blockchain is great, but the first mention of token with overly complicated scheme, i switched off.

[@Antipaavi]

Sounds like a much more plausible solution in the context of decentralized applications than modelling blockchains in external data structures that can be queried with standard approaches. This would also seem like being a more scalable solution. As for the video, I would have enjoyed to hear more about the use cases. For example, to which particular use cases do Uniswap or Synthetix use it.

It costs 100k GRT staked to become an indexer; around $150000. the coinbase listing was premature; pushed the price up and created a massive barrier to entry. terrible for crypto as a whole and sad to see happen

[@jacksonmcdonald5443]

I believe the grt devs can provide 'grants' in the form of GRT with the intention of other developers becoming indexers.
