“# The Graph adds support for Polkadot, NEAR, Solana and Celo <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Following its mainnet launch on Ethereum in mid-December 2020, The Graph has today announced that it is integrating Polkadot, NEAR, Solana and Celo.<\/p>\n

As reported, The Graph is\u00a0a protocol that enables programmers to build App<\/a>lication Programming Interfaces, which it calls subgraphs, that can query and index blockchain data.\u00a0Envisaged as an open alternative to existing blockchain analytics tools, it offers an infrastructure for accessing on-chain data from multiple blockchains, with the wider aim of supporting collaboration and interoperability across the decentralized web. <\/p>\n

Eva Beylin, director at The Graph Foundation, has underscored the need to work toward making Web 3.0 as developer-friendly as Web 2.0. As the foundation notes, using a subgraph doesn’t require developers to have specialist knowledge about the numerous blockchains’ many unique and different properties, for example, their underlying smart contract language.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Graph already supports the blockchains Ethereum, IPFS and POA and supports the InterPlanetary File System \u2014 a peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data. Many of the existing subgraphs, over 7,000 in total, are already being deployed\u00a0by the developers of popular\u00a0decentralized applications built on Web 3.0., among them Uniswap, AAVE, Decentraland and Synthetix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now that\u00a0Polkadot, NEAR, Solana and Celo have been integrated, The Graph is also aiming to expand support to Bitcoin, Cosmos, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Flow and others. Ethereum\u00a0will continue to be the standard for The Graph Network and its native token,\u00a0Graph Token (GRT<\/a>) \u2014 which developers receive when users query their subgraph \u2014 will remain an ERC-20 token.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The foundation aims to eventually support all layer 1 blockchains and to become a widely-adopted indexing and query solution for all of the decentralized internet, making the wealth of blockchain data out there truly accessible and actionable. As Beylin has said:<\/p>\n

“We believe in supporting many chains so all developers can efficiently build decentralized applications and accelerate Web3 adoption. Developers can choose whichever chain best suits their needs and it will also help current Ethereum developers build interoperable applications.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
