#GraphRising

Sunrise Upgrade Program

Anyone on the internet can join and help revolutionize how the world accesses data via The Graph – while earning rewards from a pool of 4 Million GRT in the process.


Your data. Your autonomy.

Centralized SaaS companies and giants of the legacy web want to control data – join The Graph and free yourself and others from monopolies.

Complete missions. Earn GRT.

Missions are both non-technical and technical, ranging from contributions to The Graph Network and creating helpful content.

Sunrise to the occasion.

Missions encompass a broad scope of skills including marketing, writing, using The Graph, creative design, engineering and beyond.

If you want to join the mission of unleashing web3’s potential and making autonomy over data the new normal, register now to participate in missions and confirm your eligibility for rewards.

How can you participate?

After filling out the registration form, you’ll receive emails on a recurring basis between May 3, 2024 and June 20, 2024.
