| 0:00.0 | Hey, Bangladesh Nation. We are so excited to bring you another community. Ask me anything. |
| 0:14.7 | We've got Yaneeth from the graph. He's the co-founder of the Graph Protocol. We're going to dive |
| 0:19.4 | into the graph and what it does. Just some ground rules for you. So you may be watching this live |
| 0:25.0 | on YouTube. If you are, you can ask questions. David and I will get to your questions on YouTube. |
| 0:30.8 | We'll try to prioritize them the best way that we can. If you are a bankless premium member, |
| 0:36.0 | we will also prioritize your questions in the bank list discord. This doesn't ask me anything. |
| 0:41.1 | So David and I have a list of questions, but we also want your participation. This is a great |
| 0:46.8 | opportunity for us to figure out what's going on with this important piece of DeFi, Ethereum, |
| 0:53.5 | crypto infrastructure known as the graph. Yaneeth, welcome to Bankless. Welcome to the AMA. Are you ready |
| 0:59.2 | for this? I'm ready. Hey guys, thanks for having me on the show. It's awesome to have you. We've |
| 1:04.8 | been wanting to do this for quite some time. I think we should start. It's just an explain it |
| 1:10.5 | like I'm five on the graph. So bankless listeners, we're all familiar with DeFi. We're obviously |
| 1:16.9 | familiar with Ethereum, Bitcoin and crypto. So we've got that base knowledge. But what is the graph? |
| 1:23.2 | It feels like it's this behind the scenes infrastructure. What does it do? And like, have we used it |
| 1:29.3 | without knowing? Yeah, I bet that you have. So the graph is an indexing protocol. And the |
| 1:36.8 | explain it like I'm five is that we organize all of the data from blockchains and make it |
| 1:43.5 | easily accessible to applications. So the same way that you wouldn't find a top pick in a book by |
| 1:50.6 | just kind of scanning page to page. You need to have a table of contacts or index that organizes |
| 1:57.1 | that data source so you can easily find what you're looking for. Computers work exactly the same |
| 2:01.8 | way. When you use applications, they're querying data from some underlying place. And before the |
| 2:10.0 | graph, people had to build custom proprietary centralized servers to index that data to make |
| 2:16.4 | absolute quickly. And now there's, you know, we've launched the graph network, which is a |
