The Graph is a leading blockchain project that makes data easily accessible by developers working on Ethereum projects. For example, open source projects like Uniswap, AAVE, and Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) have vast amount of data that is hard to manipulate.

Therefore, developers use The Graph to get this data in a simple process. The Graph learn what and how to index Ethereum data based on the subgraph descriptions, which are known as manifest. This manifest description defines the smart contracts of interest for a subgraph and how to map event data stored in the database.

Therefore, while most ordinary users don’t use The Graph, many developers do. Other solutions that the network provides are the Graph Explorer, Subgraph Studio, and Hosted Service. The Graph Explorer lets developers explore subgraphs and interact with the protocol. On the other hand, Studio lets people create, manage, and publish subgraphs and API keys.

The biggest change happening in the platform is the migration of the hosted service to a decentralized format. Sunsetting the hosted service will take place through phases. In the first phase, the network will halt the creation of new subgraphs and deployments to the hosted service.

The second phase will stop all upgrades from hosted service account while the final phase will be to fully phase out hosted service subgraphs at the end of Q1 of 2023.
