  • The Graph is an important indexing platform for the blockchain industry.
  • The GRT price has dropped sharply in the past few months.
  • It is currently at an important support level.

The Graph price has come under intense pressure in the past few months as the cryptocurrency industry struggles. GRT, its native token, is trading at $0.5400, which is about 80% below the highest level in 2021.

The Google of Blockchains

The Graph is a relatively new blockchain platform that went live in 2020. In the past year, the platform became popular among investors and developers, which pushed its price to an all-time high of $2.85.

For starters, The Graph is a blockchain platform that most people will never use. But it is a project that many developers use on a daily basis.

The Graph is often considered the Google of the blockchain industry. This name comes from the fact that it is a protocol that organizes data on blockchains and makes it available through APIs. These APIs are known as subgraphs that any developer can query.

The Graph is important because of how the blockchain industry is. Most platforms like Ethereum and Solana are built using open source technology that allows anyone to contribute. Therefore, without its technology, querying these entries is a difficult process.

Today, The Graph has 160 indexers, over 7,000 delegators, and more than 2,200 curators. This has made it a valuable platform as the world moves to what is known as Web3. Web4 is the next generation of the internet that decentralizes most functions.

GRT is the native token for The Graph ecosystem. It is used to reward users in the network and for staking. Indeed, over 2 billion GRT has been staked.

Still, while The Graph is a good platform, its price has lagged its peers. It has crashed by about 80% and its market cap has fallen to $2.8 billion. It is now the 56th biggest coin in the world.

The Graph price prediction

The daily chart shows that the GRT price has been in a deep downward trend in the past few months. A closer look shows that the coin is at an important support level where it has struggled to move below since July.

The Graph price has moved below the 25-day and 50-day moving averages. Therefore, a strong drop below this level will signal that bears have prevailed, which will push the GRT price significantly lower. The next reference level to watch will be at $0.25, which is about 52% below the current level.
