The Graph: A decentralized protocol for indexing and querying data.
Query: A request for data. In the case of The Graph, a query is a request for data from a subgraph that will be answered by an Indexer.
GraphQL: A query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. The Graph uses GraphQL to query subgraphs.
Uç Nokta: Bir subgraph'ı sorgulamak için kullanılabilecek bir URL'dir. Subgraph Stüdyo için test uç noktası https://api.studio.thegraph.com/query/<ID>/<SUBGRAPH_NAME>/<VERSION> ve Graph Gezgini uç noktası https://gateway.thegraph.com/api/<API_KEY>/subgraphs/id/<SUBGRAPH_ID> şeklindedir. Graph Gezgini uç noktası, Graph'ın merkeziyetsiz ağındaki subgraphları sorgulamak için kullanılır.
Subgraph: An open API that extracts data from a blockchain, processes it, and stores it so that it can be easily queried via GraphQL. Developers can build, deploy, and publish subgraphs to The Graph Network. Once it is indexed, the subgraph can be queried by anyone.
Indexer: Network participants that run indexing nodes to index data from blockchains and serve GraphQL queries.
Indexer Revenue Streams: Indexers are rewarded in GRT with two components: query fee rebates and indexing rewards.
1. Sorgu Ücreti İadeleri: Ağda sorgular sunmak için subgraph tüketicilerinden yapılan ödemelerdir.
2. İndeksleme Ödülleri: İndeksleyicilerin subgraph'leri indeksleme karşılığında aldığı ödüller. İndeksleme ödülleri, yıllık %3 GRT'nin yeni ihracı yoluyla oluşturulur.
Indexer's Self-Stake: The amount of GRT that Indexers stake to participate in the decentralized network. The minimum is 100,000 GRT, and there is no upper limit.
Upgrade Indexer: An Indexer designed to act as a fallback for subgraph queries not serviced by other Indexers on the network. The upgrade Indexer is not competitive with other Indexers.
Delegator: Network participants who own GRT and delegate their GRT to Indexers. This allows Indexers to increase their stake in subgraphs on the network. In return, Delegators receive a portion of the Indexing Rewards that Indexers receive for processing subgraphs.
Delegasyon Vergisi: GRT'yi indeksleyicilere stake ettiklerinde delegatörler tarafından ödenen %0,5'lik bir ücret. Ücreti ödemek için kullanılan GRT yakılır.
Curator: Network participants that identify high-quality subgraphs, and signal GRT on them in exchange for curation shares. When Indexers claim query fees on a subgraph, 10% is distributed to the Curators of that subgraph. There is a positive correlation between the amount of GRT signaled and the number of Indexers indexing a subgraph.
Kurasyon Vergisi: Küratörler tarafından subgraph'lerde GRT sinyali verildiğinde ödenen %1'lik bir ücrettir. Ücreti ödemek için kullanılan GRT yakılır.
Data Consumer: Any application or user that queries a subgraph.
Subgraph Geliştiricisi: Graph'in merkeziyetsiz ağına bir subgraph inşa eden ve dağıtan bir geliştirici.
Subgraph Manifest: A YAML file that describes the subgraph's GraphQL schema, data sources, and other metadata. Here is an example.
Epoch: A unit of time within the network. Currently, one epoch is 6,646 blocks or approximately 1 day.
Allocation: An Indexer can allocate their total GRT stake (including Delegators' stake) towards subgraphs that have been published on The Graph's decentralized network. Allocations can have different statuses:
1. Aktif: Bir tahsis, zincir üzerinde oluşturulduğunda aktif kabul edilir. Buna tahsis açma denir ve ağa, indeksleyicinin belirli bir subgraph için sorguları aktif olarak indekslediğini ve sunduğunu gösterir. Aktif tahsisler, subgraph'teki sinyal ve tahsis edilen GRT miktarı ile orantılı olarak indeksleme ödülleri tahakkuk ettirir.
2. Closed: An Indexer may claim the accrued indexing rewards on a given subgraph by submitting a recent, and valid, Proof of Indexing (POI). This is known as closing an allocation. An allocation must have been open for a minimum of one epoch before it can be closed. The maximum allocation period is 28 epochs. If an Indexer leaves an allocation open beyond 28 epochs, it is known as a stale allocation. When an allocation is in the Closed state, a Fisherman can still open a dispute to challenge an Indexer for serving false data.
Subgraph Stüdyo: Subgraph'ler oluşturmak, deploy etmek ve yayınlamak için güçlü bir merkeziyetsiz uygulamadır.
Fishermen: A role within The Graph Network held by participants who monitor the accuracy and integrity of data served by Indexers. When a Fisherman identifies a query response or a POI they believe to be incorrect, they can initiate a dispute against the Indexer. If the dispute rules in favor of the Fisherman, the Indexer is slashed by losing 2.5% of their self-stake. Of this amount, 50% is awarded to the Fisherman as a bounty for their vigilance, and the remaining 50% is removed from circulation (burned). This mechanism is designed to encourage Fishermen to help maintain the reliability of the network by ensuring that Indexers are held accountable for the data they provide.
Arbitrators: Arbitrators are network participants appointed through a governance process. The role of the Arbitrator is to decide the outcome of indexing and query disputes. Their goal is to maximize the utility and reliability of The Graph Network.
Slashing: Indexers can have their self-staked GRT slashed for providing an incorrect POI or for serving inaccurate data. The slashing percentage is a protocol parameter currently set to 2.5% of an Indexer's self-stake. 50% of the slashed GRT goes to the Fisherman that disputed the inaccurate data or incorrect POI. The other 50% is burned.
İndeksleme Ödülleri: İndeksleyicilerin subgraph'leri indeksleme karşılığında aldığı ödüllerdir. İndeksleme ödülleri GRT şeklinde dağıtılır.
Stake Ödülleri: Delegatörlerin GRT'yi indeksleyicilere stake etme karşılığında aldığı ödüllerdir. Stake ödülleri GRT şeklinde dağıtılır.
GRT: Graph'in çalışma yardımcı programı belirtecidir. GRT, ağ katılımcılarına ağa katkıda bulunmaları için ekonomik teşvikler sağlar.
Proof of Indexing (POI): When an Indexer closes their allocation and wants to claim their accrued indexing rewards on a given subgraph, they must provide a valid and recent POI. Fishermen may dispute the POI provided by an Indexer. A dispute resolved in the Fisherman's favor will result in slashing of the Indexer.
Graph Node: Graph Node is the component that indexes subgraphs and makes the resulting data available to query via a GraphQL API. As such it is central to the Indexer stack, and correct operation of Graph Node is crucial to running a successful Indexer.
Indexer agent: The Indexer agent is part of the Indexer stack. It facilitates the Indexer's interactions on-chain, including registering on the network, managing subgraph deployments to its Graph Node(s), and managing allocations.
Graph Tüketicileri: Merkeziyetsiz bir şekilde GraphQL tabanlı merkeziyetsiz uygulamalar inşa etmeye yönelik bir kitaplık.
Graph Gezgini: Ağ katılımcılarının subgraph'leri keşfetmesi ve protokolle etkileşim kurması için tasarlanmış bir merkeziyetsiz uygulamadır.
Graph CLI: Graph üzerinde inşa ve deploy etmek için bir komut satırı arabirim aracı.
Soğuma Süresi: Yetki parametrelerini değiştiren indeksleyicinin bunu tekrar yapabilmesi için kalan süre.
L2 Transfer Tools: Smart contracts and UI that enable network participants to transfer network related assets from Ethereum mainnet to Arbitrum One. Network participants can transfer delegated GRT, subgraphs, curation shares, and Indexer's self-stake.
Updating a subgraph: The process of releasing a new subgraph version with updates to the subgraph's manifest, schema, or mappings.
Migrating: The process of curation shares moving from an old version of a subgraph to a new version of a subgraph (e.g. when v0.0.1 is updated to v0.0.2).
