The Graph (GRT) is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying data from blockchains. It allows developers to build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, that can be queried using GraphQL.
To stake The Graph (GRT), you will need to become a indexer or a curator. Indexers are responsible for indexing data from the Ethereum blockchain and making it available to users through The Graph’s API. Curators are responsible for vetting and approving new subgraphs that are submitted to The Graph.
To become an indexer, you will need to have a certain amount of GRT and run a full node with The Graph software. You can then delegate your GRT to an indexer or become an indexer yourself by running a Graph Node and participating in the indexing process.
To become a curator, you will need to have a certain amount of GRT and apply to join a curation pool. If accepted, you will be responsible for evaluating and voting on proposed subgraphs.
For more detailed instructions on how to stake GRT, you can refer to The Graph’s documentation or seek guidance from the community.
