Graph protocol is key to Ethereum’s scaling plans
Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, recently published a blog with a roadmap for scaling the network. In the short-, medium- and long-terms, rollups are the possible scaling solution for the Ethereum network.
Zero-knowledge (zk) rollups have better data compression than the Ethereum base layer, and Buterin describes a pragmatic path towards a solution to increase the available data space using projects like the Graph protocol.
The Graph protocol is a web3 project that indexes and queries blockchain data with GraphQL.
