The Graph Protocol: A Deep Dive
summary
The Graph is live as a decentralized query marketplace with epochs ~24 hours, allocations up to 28-day allocations and a 16:1 delegation capacity; delegated stake is not slashed and annual issuance sits at issuance rate 3%. Early network stats show ~423M GRT staked by indexers, ~1.53B by delegators, ~13M GRT indexed rewards to indexers vs ~22M to delegators. Community dashboards (Network Explorer, GraphScan, Sun Tzu) and the public subgraph are operational; reward-cut distribution is bimodal and most indexers show low volatility, though some parameter changes look abusive.
