The Graph Team

Brandon Ramirez

Brandon Ramirez co-founded The Graph alongside Yaniv Tal and Jannis Pohlmann. As Research Lead, he designed the system-level architecture and economics of the protocol, as well as defining the product and developer experiences that are being used by The Graph's first users to learn and use the network productively. His prior experience as a product owner and software engineer on data-intensive applications (Excel, Mulesoft), his longtime interest in economics and behavioural science, and his academic experience in robotics and control systems have all influenced his approach to designing The Graph. Brandon believes the decentralized application stack is about to reach an inflection point that will unlock a Cambrian explosion of new applications built on public infrastructure. These applications will be unstoppable, interoperable by default, and will redistribute power from large tech platforms back to end users. The Graph not only enables this transition, but is also a case study in ho

Jannis Pohlmann

Jannis Pohlmann is the Co-Founder and Engineering Lead at Edge & Node and former Co-Founder and Tech Lead of The Graph. He is credited with inventing or creating many of its signature technologies and protocols. With more than 20 years of experience in software development, Jannis has acquired a deep knowledge of operating and embedded systems, Linux desktop soft- and middleware, fullstack web development, DevOps, blockchains, and decentralized systems. He is also an expert in open source and communities, making him an experienced and thoughtful leader. Jannis believes that decentralization can fix today's broken web by providing long missing incentives and putting individuals in control instead of corporations. He also believes that protocols such as The Graph will transform the way data is organized collectively and that the launch of The Graph Network is just the beginning of a protocol that is helping to power a new, better web.

Yaniv Tal

Yaniv Tal has been working in the crypto space for more than three years. Prior to founding The Graph, Yaniv, Brandon, and Carl worked together at Mulesoft (an API developer company acquired by Salesforce) and co-founded a developer tooling startup using immutable databases. As co-founder and project lead, Yaniv has successfully led The Graph team and community of Indexers and Curators to get us to where we are today. He believes that decentralization will fundamentally transform how humans cooperate, and this will only be possible once a fully decentralized protocol stack is in place, with incentives for allocating talent and resources. He identified that an open data layer that developers and users could collaborate on in a decentralized way was the missing piece to realizing Web3. Yaniv is excited to be part of this decentralization movement to help people achieve their full potential through self-determination and social coordination.

The Graph Intro

The Graph (GRT) is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying data from blockchains, primarily Ethereum. It's essentially a bridge between blockchain data and applications, allowing developers to extract and use information more efficiently. It can be understood as useing artificial intelligence (AI) to do what Google did for the internet, but for blockchains.

GRT is the native utility token of this protocol, used to incentivize and reward a network of operators known as Indexers. Indexers are node operators who process data and serve queries, earning GRT tokens for their work. The Graph's decentralized network ensures that data remains open and that no single party controls access to data. GRT tokens also play a role in network governance. Token holders can delegate their GRT to Indexers, effectively voting on their behalf and influencing the direction of the protocol's development. This aligns with the ethos of decentralization, giving stakeholders a say in the network's future.

According to the official announcement, In August 2023, The Graph announced that it has officially entered the third and final phase of L2 expansion. Since then, L2 transport tools was live, making accessing The Graph on Arbitrum even easier and more seamless. The expansion would help users easily transfer GRT or subgraphs to L2 with lower gas fees and faster transactions.

In 2024, The Graph introduced a new roadmap called “The New Era of The Graph,” which focuses on expanding its data services to include advanced analytics, verifiable data sources, and integration with large language models (LLMs). This expansion will transform The Graph into a more versatile data platform, catering to a wider range of use cases beyond decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3 applications. The roadmap also emphasizes improved support for developers, enhanced indexer performance, and the creation of a knowledge graph that interlinks various datasets across multiple blockchains.
