A year after The Graph Network launch, it's home to 150+ Indexers, 2,300+ Curators & 8,000+ Delegators, weaving a lattice of web3 collaboration.

These contributors are using GRT to provide core data services to dapps.

On The Graph Network’s 1st Birthday, let’s recap the year🧵
Usage of The Graph can be viewed as a proxy for web3 development activity.

Developers building & querying subgraphs have consistently grown ~14% MoM (550% YoY) & accelerated in July with the launch of Subgraph Studio. Looking forward to welcoming the next wave of builders! 👨‍💻👩‍💻
Combined deployed subgraphs on the network & hosted service continue to grow ~15% MoM (282% YoY), with over 31,000 lifetime subgraphs 🌐

Dapps have steadily been migrating subgraphs to the network, fueled by the ethos of decentralization, public APIs & open data accessibility.
Developers are creating subgraphs for a diverse range of uses. DeFi, NFTs & Identity lead the charge on both the hosted service & the network, with increasing demand for network data for L2 chains, & DAO voting.

Name a use case or a dapp you’d like to see using subgraphs! 🌠
Avg. daily query volume on the hosted service has risen to over 1.8 billion queries per day & combined volume on the network & hosted service is growing ~21% MoM (569% YoY) 🤯

Dapps are progressively migrating to the network in waves, prioritizing decentralized infrastructure.
Collectively, queries on the network & hosted service have been accelerating, signifying growing dapp adoption. The web3 movement can’t be stopped.

Over ✨370 billion✨ queries have been made on the hosted service & the network combined in The Graph’s lifetime!
Another perspective: query fees on the network are growing steadily, having eclipsed over 265K GRT in fees on the network to date.

Query fees are dominated by dapps using DeFi, NFT & social subgraphs, though additional use cases are emerging. Any dapp can use these subgraphs!
There are many ways dapps can use subgraph data - whether you’re building a DeFi dapp, a front-end for your DAO, an NFT marketplace, analyzing protocol data or looking to buy the constitution!

The Graph is supporting many core applications in the web3 community today ✨
It’s been an inspiring year for The Graph community 👨‍🚀

The web3 metamorphosis is just beginning & The Graph is here to make building in web3 as easy as possible!

Join the community for another exciting year & stay up to date with the network 🔎

A subgraph by @0xProject is live on The Graph’s decentralized network! 🪄

0x is a liquidity aggregator used to power DeFi dapps like @matchaxyz, which enables people to trade on multiple DEXes at once.

How is 0x’s subgraph used on Matcha? ⬇️
0x uses a subgraph to provide @matchaxyz users with detailed history of their swaps🔀

The 0x subgraph tracks events emitted by the 0x Protocol’s smart contracts, making it easy to compose a history of user activity neatly within Matcha’s user interface💡

Matcha.xyz
By using The Graph Network, @0xProject can support dapps with consistent access to organized data in a robust, secure & decentralized way 🌐

Subgraphs are open source, so anyone can query @0xProject’s subgraph, or fork it for a project of their own:

Paying for queries on The Graph Network is now as easy as swiping a credit card! 💳

You asked for an easier way to use The Graph & The Graph’s core devs listened.

Now you can pay your query fee balance via debit or credit card, thanks to the new @BanxaOfficial fiat onramp 💱
The default option for billing on the decentralized network involves getting GRT & moving it to your Arbitrum billing balance.

With the new @BanxaOfficial widget, replenishing your billing balance for query fees is seamless.

Simply pay by card—your GRT loads in automatically 🪄
By leveraging a fiat onramp, The Graph empowers a broader pool of developers to build on decentralized data infrastructure 🌐

That means more users can take advantage of the benefits of The Graph’s decentralized network while reducing billing steps 💪

Blockchain utility & adoption is growing 🌱

Blockchains work as public ledgers, transparently recording every transaction.

One major issue with this public record? There’s a lot of data that’s difficult to read & sort.

Here’s how The Graph fixes that ⬇️thegraph.com/blog/introduct…
When designing a snappy front-end & UX, data accessibility is key 📊

The early internet was awkward & clunky. It was difficult, if not impossible, to find what you wanted. Then came search engines.

Search engines made the web more convenient thanks to indexed search results.
The Graph makes web3 more accessible by indexing blockchain data.

Reading data from blockchains is challenging. Very challenging. After all, blockchains are write-optimized. Not read-optimized!

The Graph makes it easy & convenient for anyone to sort & query blockchain data📂

The subgraph for @slice__so is live on The Graph’s decentralized network! 🍰

Slice is a decentralized commerce protocol that enables on-chain sales of anything—physical goods, digital collectibles & more: slice.so
Slice enables users to sell anything (NFTs, services & physical items alike) on-chain & split payment between multiple addresses 💵

Slice uses ERC-1155 tokens as “slices,” or fractionalized NFTs, to represent ownership—which can be transferred or sold on NFT marketplaces.
Slice facilitates decentralized commerce in web3 🛒

In addition to using a decentralized subgraph, Slice champions decentralization via DAO governance & by rewarding users with SLX governance tokens when they withdraw ETH from slicers.

The Graph's hosted service has completed a beta integration with @bobanetwork 🧋

Now devs can build on Boba using subgraphs! Boba is an Ethereum Layer 2 Optimistic Rollup scaling solution which supports both web2 & web3 data.

What does this beta integration mean?⬇️ Image
@bobanetwork supports Ethereum devs by:
✨ reducing gas fees
✨ improving transaction throughput
✨ integrating VRF (verifiable random function) features
✨ enabling smart contract calls to off-chain RPCs

Boba extends Ethereum capabilities for a faster, less costly experience.
This beta integration allows developers to create open APIs called subgraphs in order to index data on the Boba Network.

By improving the app building experience for developers, Boba & The Graph will continue to onboard the next wave of web3 users ⛓️
