The Graph is an indexing protocol for public networks and blockchain data. It can be used to build and publish open APIs (subgraphs) and power protocol interfaces.
It's especially useful for Web 3 protocols, as it allows for easy and efficient querying large amounts of data without relying on a centralized service provider. Many protocols, including Aave and Uniswap, currently utilize subgraphs through The Graph.
There is no ‘central’ DAO, however there is an ecosystem that allows the protocol to operate in a decentralized manner. The ecosystem is made up by Network Participants, core developer teams, The Graph Council and includes two DAOs.
