What is GRT?

_{What is The Graph (GRT)?}

The Graph or GRT is a cryptocurrency coin used on a decentralized blockchain.
Serves as a search network for information on various blockchains, comparing Google to the blockchain world
Allows developers to efficiently access and extract data from dApps and protocols on the blockchain.

_{Founder/Date Founded:}

The Graph team consists of experts from Ethereum Foundation, OpenZeppelin, Decentraland, Orchid, MuleSoft
That led to IPO and acquisitions by Salesforce, Puppet, Redhat and Barclays.
The initial co-founder team initially consisted of Yaniv Tal (project leader), Brandon Ramirez (head of research) and Jannis Pohlmann (head of technology).

_{Objective/Use Case:}

The Graph is working to bring reliable decentralized public infrastructure to the mainstream market.
To ensure the economic security of The Graph Network and the integrity of the data being queried.
Participants therefore use the Graph Token (GRT) GRT as a functioning token that is locked by the indexer,
Administrators and assignees to provide indexing and network management services

GRT will be an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, which is used to allocate resources on the network. Indexers,
Administrators and active licensors can generate income from the network in proportion to the workload performed and the proportion of GRT shareholdings.
WHERE INDEXERS ARE REWARDED WITH INDEXING AND INQUIRY FEES.
Meanwhile, administrators are paid a portion of the query fee for the sub-graph they send signals to.
The assignee receives a portion of the income received from the index generator to which they assigned the mandate.

_{Total supply/Limit or Unlimited:}

GRT coins will total $1 billion and will have a new coin issuance rate of 3% per year in the form of indexing rewards.

_{Supply Deflation:}

The GRT coin or The Graph Token has coin inflation (Token Inflation)
At around 0.72% per annum, the inflation rate of GRT coins comes from the issuance of new coins to pay rewards to the Node provider on The Graph network.
By the way, the number of new GRT coins issued will depend on network traffic. The Graph
If there is a lot of network usage, the new GRT coins issued will be more, but if there is less network usage, the new GRT coins issued will be less.
