Seeing it on the real network

Prove to yourself that the shape of the protocol has stuck, then pick the role you actually came here for.

Every protocol claim below was read at these sources on 2026-08-30. Where they disagree with each other, the entry says so.

Everything above is description. This is where you go and look at the thing itself.

Nothing here costs money or requires a wallet connection. The aim is to see that the things you have been reading about are real, named, and countable.

Go and look at the real network

  • Open Graph Explorer and find the list of indexers. Note how many there are.
  • Pick any indexer and find its self-stake, its delegated stake, and its indexing reward cut. Those three numbers are the whole delegator decision in miniature.
  • Find a published subgraph and look at its signalled GRT. That number is curators betting on future query demand for it.
  • Open the Academy parameters page and find one number where two official sources disagree.
  • Decide which role you came here for, and open that collection.

Where to go next

You have the shape of it. Where you go next depends on what you actually want to do:

  • You have GRT and want it working: Delegators.
  • You want to back specific data rather than specific operators: Curators.
  • You want to run the infrastructure: Indexers.
  • You want to publish data for others to query: Developers.
  • You want to consume data in an application: App builders.
  • You want to understand how the rules get changed: Governance.
