The Graph Network is a decentralized indexing protocol for organizing blockchain data. Applications use GraphQL to query open APIs called subgraphs and retrieve data that is indexed on the network. With The Graph, developers can build serverless applications that run entirely on public infrastructure.
The Graph Network consists of Indexers, Curators, and Delegators that provide services to the network and serve data to Web3 applications. Consumers use the applications and consume the data.
为了确保Graph网络的经济安全和被查询数据的完整性，参与者持有并使用Graph代币（）。GRT是一种工作实用代币，是一种用于在网络中分配资源的ERC-20代币。
Active Indexers, Curators, and Delegators can provide services and earn income from the network, proportional to the amount of work they perform and their GRT stake.
