The Graph

$10,000

About

The Graph is the open, universal data layer for web3. Since launch, The Graph has powered a growing decentralized ecosystem and become the industry standard for onchain data indexing through Subgraphs. As AI and new use cases emerge, The Graph is evolving, expanding its capabilities to support developers, analysts, AI agents, and more. With real-time access to blockchain data via Substreams, plug-and-play data from the Token API, and a growing suite of AI-driven tools, The Graph helps teams build faster using high-quality, composable data.

Prizes

🛠️ Best Use of The Graph Token API, Subgraphs, Substreams, or AI MCPs ⸺ $5,000

🥇

1st place

$3,000

🥈

2nd place

$2,000

Objective: Build an innovative project that integrates The Graph’s data products—Subgraphs, Substreams, or Token API—to deliver real-world utility, insight, or AI-enhanced functionality. Projects should demonstrate technical creativity and effective use of onchain data. Bonus points for AI-driven solutions that leverage MCP servers to enable agentic or natural-language capabilities.

Qualification Requirements

Remember: extra points if you build AI-driven solutions, such as agents! NOTE: Subgraphs or Substreams purely created with "subgraph init" are not eligible for submission.

🛠️ Best Application Built on Hypergraph ⸺ $4,000

🥇

1st place

$2,500

🥈

2nd place

$1,500

Objective: Build a high-impact application using Hypergraph, the Knowledge Graph Framework, to organize and query public web3 data in a composable and structured way. Examples and ideas: - Crypto Projects Directory: Structured registry of projects organized by category, type, and industry - Investment Graph: Dataset mapping project-investor relationships into a rich network - Dapp Registry: Extensible list of decentralized applications by domain and function - DAO Governance Explorer: Visualization of governance proposals, voting, and outcomes across DAOs

Qualification Requirements

- The application must use the Knowledge Graph Framework - Data must be structured as entity-relations using the GRC-20 standard Bonus points for: - Creativity - Composability with other apps or spaces - Integration across multiple datasets

🛠️ Use of GRC-20-ts Library in Dapp ⸺ $1,000

Build a decentralized application that utilizes the GRC-20-ts TypeScript library to publish offchain knowledge to the Knowledge Graph. This bounty rewards creative use of the GRC-20-ts library to attach meaningful metadata to smart contracts, protocols, or dapps. Example Use Cases: - Publishing protocol descriptions or governance rules - Publishing offchain data through GRC20-ts to the Knowledge Graph

Qualification Requirements

- Your project must include the grc20-ts library in its codebase (package.json) - You must demonstrate usage of the library to post structured offchain knowledge about your dapp to the Knowledge Graph - You must clearly document what was published and how it improves composability or transparency
