Trade GRT/USD
The Graph / US Dollar
The Graph is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying blockchain data, often called the Google of web3 for its role in making on-chain information searchable.

About The Graph (GRT/USD)
The Graph provides a decentralized indexing layer for blockchain data. Without it, developers building on Ethereum, Solana, or other chains would need to run their own indexing infrastructure to query on-chain events, token balances, and smart contract states. The Graph organizes this data into open APIs called subgraphs, which any application can query. GRT is the native token used to pay for queries, stake as an indexer, delegate to indexers, or curate subgraphs that signal data quality. Major DeFi protocols including Uniswap, Aave, and Synthetix rely on The Graph's subgraphs for their front-end data. GRT/USD on StoicFX is a CFD, no GRT tokens are purchased or held on your behalf.
Key Price Drivers
- Query fee revenue growing as more dApps migrate to the decentralized network
- Multi-chain indexing expansion to Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, and Solana
- GRT staking by indexers and delegators affecting circulating supply dynamics
- On-chain activity levels directly scaling query demand and fee revenue

FAQ
What is a subgraph and why do dApps need them?
A subgraph is an open API that indexes specific blockchain data, such as all swaps on Uniswap or all lending positions on Aave, and makes it queryable in milliseconds. Without subgraphs, a dApp's front end would need to scan the entire blockchain to find relevant events, which is impractical for real-time interfaces. Subgraphs are defined by developers and maintained by indexers who stake GRT.
Why is The Graph sometimes called the Google of blockchain?
Just as Google indexes websites and makes the internet searchable, The Graph indexes blockchain data and makes it queryable. Developers define what data they want indexed through subgraph manifests, and the protocol's indexers crawl blockchain nodes to organise that data into searchable formats. The analogy is imperfect since The Graph is decentralized and token-incentivised, but the core function of organising information for retrieval is similar.
How does GRT staking work and why does it affect supply?
Indexers must stake GRT to serve queries and earn fees. Delegators can also stake GRT behind indexers to share in rewards without running infrastructure. Curators stake GRT to signal which subgraphs are high quality. All of this staking locks GRT and reduces circulating supply. When staking participation is high, the available float shrinks, which can amplify price moves in either direction.
If I trade GRT/USD on StoicFX, do I hold any GRT tokens?
No. GRT/USD on StoicFX is a Contract for Difference. You trade GRT's price against the US dollar without holding any tokens. To delegate to indexers, curate subgraphs, or earn staking rewards, you would need actual GRT tokens in a compatible wallet.
