How does @graphprotocol work?
Let's unpack its supply and demand!
Demand is king π
- The Graph serves demand for on-chain data from blockchains, storage networks, p2p networks
- Data consumers (apps & devs) pay to query on-chain data
1/n π§΅
Supply:
- Indexers operate nodes and receive indexing rewards & query fees
- Delegators help secure the network and delegate tokens
- Curators signal valuable data to be indexed
Revenue from usage:
- Demand-side revenue from query fees increased β¬οΈ42% in GRT terms QoQ (up β¬οΈ3% in USD terms)
- With more subgraphs migrating to the mainnet, query fee activity should continue to increase

Ethereum Name Service @ensdomains held strong:
- Registrations reached an all-time-high, β¬οΈ 71% QoQ
- Renewals β¬οΈ 3x QoQ
How about revenue & usage?
1/n π§΅
ENS revenue stays high despite market downturn. In USD terms, revenue β¬οΈ 17% (β¬οΈ 30% in ETH terms).
Drivers of revenue:
- Registrations: β¬οΈ27% in USD terms (β¬οΈ18% in ETH terms)
- Renewals: β¬οΈ 66% in USD terms (β¬οΈ 127% in ETH terms)
2/n
ENS usage: monthly active addresses remain robust:
- 10x higher than at the beginning of 2021
- 2.5x higher than a year ago, despite a 33% reduction from the May 2022 all-time-highs
Do we see initial signs of Web3 killer social media platforms?
Or is it too early to say?

Recently, @petkanics wrote about Web3βs Killer Social Media platform β it will introduce a paradigm-shifting primitive or behavior that is truly native to Web3

While that killer platform has not arrived (yet), we see some (early) signs of traction. Why should you care?

In High Growth Handbook, @eladgil advocates for early traction:
- distribution and growth trend β¬οΈ MoM
- lead users matter alot, even in small absolute numbers
