Via the token sale scheduled on October 22-24, on the ETH blockchain, the Graph will sell up to 400 million coins on the 10 billion initial token supply at the $0.03 cents per coin. The protocol allows blockchain companies to create and use their own APIs which are a way that applications talk to each other to get precise data. The crypto price charts that we have in our news are all coming from one website sending a query to another for the received data.

The Graph is now used by a variety of Web 3.0 applications like the decentralized exchange Uniswap and crypto provider Coingecko. According to the press release, the network will be a “decentralized network of Indexers, Curators, and Delegators working together to organize the world’s blockchain data, serve applications, and accelerate the transition to a decentralized future.” As such, the token sale will spread the ERC20 token among these kinds of users:

• Indexers that operate the network nods and stake the token so they can earn rewards and fees when consumers make a query
• Curators that decide what ETH data to index and how to store the data, by depositing GRT and earn query fees.
• Delegators who want to secure the network without having to run a node.

Of course, not everyone will earn a GRT token as consumers pay the query fees to get the data they are looking for. Registration for the token sale that is only open to non-US users, will close on October 15^th.
