What is The Graph?

The Graph is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying data from blockchains, making it easy to search and retrieve information on the blockchain. Launched in 2020, it serves as the backbone of many decentralized applications by enabling efficient access to blockchain data. GRT, the protocol’s native token, is used to reward participants who index and curate data, ensuring the network remains fast and reliable. The Graph’s role as a decentralized data provider is crucial in the growing ecosystem of Web3 applications. Learn more about The Graph in our workshops!

Common questions about The Graph

Real questions, plain answers. If you have one we missed, write us and we'll add it.

Is GRT safe? +

GRT itself is a public network — no single company runs it, which is part of what makes it trustworthy. The risk people usually mean is price: GRT can move sharply in a single day. Only put in what you'd be comfortable losing while you learn.

Is GRT a good investment for beginners? +

No one can promise that — GRT's price can rise or fall sharply, and past performance is never a guarantee. What you can control is how you invest: many beginners buy a small amount on a regular schedule (called dollar-cost averaging) instead of trying to time the market, and only invest what they can afford to lose. Treat GRT as a long-term way to learn, not a get-rich-quick bet.

Can I buy a small amount? +

Yes. You can start with as little as €1 of GRT. You don't need to buy a whole coin — they're divisible to many decimal places.

Where is my GRT stored? +

When you buy through CryptoUnity, your GRT is held in BitGo-secured custody — the same provider used by major institutions. You can also withdraw it to your own wallet at any time.

What can I actually do with it? +

You can hold it (many people do, hoping the price rises over time), send it to friends or merchants who accept it, or trade it for other coins. Inside the app you can also set up a weekly auto-buy.
