What it does
Build APIs on top of decentralized networks like Ethereum & IPFS Earn query fees for curating on APIs that are published to the network. One of the first curation markets to go live on Ethereum at scale. Dev guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfDgC2oNnwo
The Graph is an indexing protocol for organizing blockchain data and making it easily accessible with GraphQL.
Create groundbreaking applications without needing to run your own data server, build indexing infrastructure, or parse through raw data. Cut down on costs and time spent running expensive infrastructure by tapping into The Graph’s competitive data market. Ensure your application’s uptime and keep its data flowing 24/7 with a globally distributed network of contributors. Choose from a range of products tailored to your data needs. Tens of thousands of developers rely on The Graph to create best-in-class user experiences. Explore a rich ecosystem of community-created subgraphs or build your own with Thefrom thegraph.com

If we want better web3 experiences, developers need better tools. RPC nodes are really good at executing transactions, however they are notoriously cumbersome to set up, and reading large chunks of data is not very efficient: To show a list of transactions and receipts, nodes have to re-execute smart contract code on entire blocks. For every read call. Not great at scale. Which is why everyone is building ETLs to move data from the chain into their own database. This GraphQL API is our first step in allowing developers to spend more time on building product, rather than ETL infrastructure.

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
