The Graph Congratulates BSIC’S Winners
The Graph + Blockchain for Social Impact Coalition’s Incubator - Congratulations Winners!
The Graph partnered with Blockchain for Social Impact Coalition to provide a prize to each sustainability category for the 2020 BSIC Decentralized Impact Incubator. This allowed teams to incorporate using The Graph while building towards a more sustainable future.
About BSIC
The Decentralized Impact Incubator was a 6-week program to ideate and prototype blockchain-based solutions to global social and environmental challenges. During the period, participants from around the world gathered to form teams, design business models, draft proposals and code. Teams need to pass through weekly checkpoints and are guided by mentors throughout the process. Winning projects received grants to support continued development. The scope of these challenges includes early-stage ideas for a product/solution, innovative business models, a timeline for sustained development, and if possible, a prototype, but not continuations of projects that are already beyond testing phase.
The Decentralized Impact Incubator is supported by members of the Blockchain for Social Impact Coalition (BSIC). BSIC is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization that incubates, develops, and collaborates on blockchain products and solutions that can address social and environmental challenges across the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The Graph had the honor of sponsoring BSIC’s 2020 incubator and were blown away by the sustainability minded teams building on and incorporating The Graph.

About The Graph
The Graph is the source of data and information for the decentralized internet. As the original decentralized data marketplace that introduced and standardized subgraphs, The Graph has become web3’s method of indexing and accessing blockchain data. Since its launch in 2018, tens of thousands of developers have built subgraphs for dapps across 40+ blockchains - including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Celo, Fantom, Gnosis, and Avalanche.
As demand for data in web3 continues to grow, The Graph enters a New Era with a more expansive vision including new data services and query languages, ensuring the decentralized protocol can serve any use case - now and into the future.
