Users stake and use Graph tokens (GRT) to ensure economic security and data integrity of The Graph Network. GRT is an ERC-20 utility token hosted on Ethereum which allocates resources on The Graph blockchain. Those who add value to the network earn income in the form of GRT.
Blockdaemon is the Total Node Management Solution
Blockdaemon guarantees peace of mind, as you never have to worry about maintaining or upgrading your nodes ever again — we look after all of that for you. Our finger is constantly on the pulse of each blockchain we support to ensure all of our nodes remain perfectly healthy. Our extensive experience across protocols lets us expertly monitor, repair and replace nodes where protocol level errors may occur. For any protocol updates needed, we look after these in advance so you never see any disruption in service.
Enterprise Level Security
Security is our top priority here at Blockdaemon. All nodes purchased through us are 100% customer dedicated. This means your node is yours exclusively. You’ll enjoy a dedicated node which has a unique address, its own unique connection and authentication key. Furthermore, these are never reused. We ensure your node is not open and exposed to anyone on the internet. Any nodes you’d like to add on additionally can be done so quickly and easily as well!
A Trusted Partner
Blockdaemon is by your side on your blockchain journey. We are the only infrastructure platform for blockchain nodes which offer multi-cloud and multi-geographical support, with just a few clicks. Want custom configurations and branded experiences? No problem, we provide a unified, whole-org, collaborative rollout to manage a complete network. Whatever your needs, we will work closely with you to deliver the solution you need.
Key Features
Data Driven
The Graph is a network powered by the publicly available information found in blockchains such as Ethereum. Capturing this data, The Graph organizes, transforms and shares information across decentralized applications. The data collected by The Graph can be queried with only a few keystrokes.
DeFi Focused
The Graph grants DeFi applications the ability to query networks such as Ethereum. This provides valuable information necessary for DeFi applications to work. The Graph is already used by well known DeFi projects such as Uniswap and Decentraland.
Multi-Blockchain
The Graph currently supports Ethereum and IPFS, however it has plans to branch out to multiple protocols over time. These include Polkadot, NEAR, Solana and Celo. A multi-blockchain approach will be a key feature of creating a rich web of queryable data for DeFi applications.
Secure Indexer Nodes
Easily run your own indexers on The Graph or delegate to Blockdaemon’s indexers. All of our nodes — from our public indexer node to dedicated deployments — follow best practices to be responsible members of the network, keeping our nodes running and participating in network consensus.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
-
Indexers provide indexing and query processing services in The Graph, by staking their GRT tokens. Their revenue streams are query fees and indexing rewards. Query fees are payments for serving queries to consumers linked into the network. Indexing rewards are generated by 3% annual protocol inflation, which is distributed to indexers who index subgraph deployments on the network. The minimum stake for an indexer is currently set to 100k GRT.
-
Proof of Indexing (PoI) is The Graph’s way of making sure an indexer is indexing the subgraphs they have allocated. A subgraph defines which data The Graph will index from Ethereum and how it will store this data. Once deployed, this data will be a part of the global graph of blockchain data.
