The Graph is a protocol designed to simplify searching for something on a blockchain. The more blocks are added to a blockchain, the more difficult it is to track down certain information. The Graph acts like some sort of search bar within the blockchain.
MoreDevelopers can use The Graph to build API’s on the Ethereum blockchain. These API’s are also called ‘subgraphs’. The subgraphs are the applications that can search for the desired information within the blockchain. This way as a user you can use the subgraph to look for and find information.

The Graph was founded by a group of people who all have experience in the engineering world. The founders are Yaniv Tal (project lead), Brandon Ramirez (research lead) and Jannis Pohlmann (tech lead). Tal and Ramirez know each other from their electrical engineering studies at USC and have done a lot of research on API optimization. To maintain The Graph's system, they use the GRT token. You can earn tokens by working on the system as an Indexer, Curator or Delegator. These ensure that everything works securely and properly and that searches are done correctly. As a result, users experience better use of the application.
