<h2>About The Graph</h2><div class="content-conclusion"><p><a href="https://thegraph.com/" target="_blank">The Graph</a> is the indexing and query layer of web3. The Graph Networkâ€™s self service experience for developers launched in July 2021. Developers build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, that applications can query using GraphQL. The Graph supports indexing data from multiple different networks including Ethereum, NEAR, Arbitrium, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, Celo, Fantom, Moonbeam, IPFS, and PoA with more networks coming soon. To date, tens-of-thousands of subgraphs have been deployed on the hosted service, and now subgraphs can be deployed directly on the network. Over 28,000 developers have built subgraphs for applications such as Uniswap, Synthetix, KnownOrigin, Art Blocks, Balancer, Livepeer, DAOstack, Audius, Decentraland, and many others.</p>
<p>If you are a developer building an application or web3 application, you can use subgraphs for indexing and querying data from blockchains. <a href="https://thegraph.com/" target="_blank">The Graph</a> allows applications to efficiently and performantly present data in a UI and allows other developers to use your subgraph too! You can <a href="https://thegraph.com/docs/en/developer/quick-start/" target="_blank">deploy a subgraph</a> to the network using the newly launched <a href="https://thegraph.com/studio/" target="_blank">Subgraph Studio</a> or query existing subgraphs that are in the <a href="https://thegraph.com/explorer/" target="_blank">Graph Explorer</a>. The Graph would love to welcome you to be <a href="https://thegraph.com/docs/en/indexing/" target="_blank">Indexers</a>, <a href="https://thegraph.com/docs/en/curating/" target="_blank">Curators</a> and/or <a href="https://thegraph.com/docs/en/delegating/" target="_blank">Delegators</a> on The Graphâ€™s mainnet.
