Backstory

Yaniv Tal, co-founder and CEO of The Graph, worked with his team to develop an indexing protocol to make blockchain data easier to access. Tal and his co-founders had experienced firsthand how difficult it was to create new applications on the Ethereum blockchain.

Thanks to their experience with applications, they found out that there was actually no decentralized indexing and querying software for blockchain yet. The problem at that time was that developers had to find their own way to collect and transform data from different sources.

The mission of the platform Tal and his team have developed is to create applications that don't require servers and make Web3 accessible to everyone
