The Graph Staking Guide

What is The Graph?

The Graph is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying blockchain data. The Graph makes it possible to query data that is difficult to query directly. Anyone can build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, that applications can query using GraphQL to retrieve blockchain data. Indexers are node operators that index data and serve queries in a query market. The Graph is currently being used by most of the popular Ethereum applications.

Staking Details

In this guide, we will be using The Graph Explorer for staking and the Metamask wallet.

• The unbounding period is 28 days
• No slashing penalties for delegators
• Rewards are automatically compounded
• Rewards APR is different by indexer
• Tokens are locked during the staking period

You will need to transfer some GRT tokens to your Metamask wallet, once transferred, go to https://thegraph.com/explorer/participants/indexers and connect your Metamask wallet.

Always do your own research before selecting an Indexer

After doing your due diligence regarding indexers, you will choose the one suiting our preferences, select the 3 dots, and then “Delegate”.

The GRT token is available for purchase on various major exchanges

Enter the amount you wish to stake, select “Allow GRT Access” and approve the transactions in Metamask. After approving you will be prompted to “Delegate”.

You will need some ETH in your wallet balance to pay for fees

Once confirmed, you are now staking your GRT tokens and will start accruing rewards.

If you have any questions, looking for alternatives to delegate, or just want to chat, you can contact us on the following channels:
