+description: This page summarizes the core concepts and basics of The Graph Network.

 ## What is The Graph?
 
-The Graph is a powerful decentralized protocol that enables seamless querying and indexing of blockchain data. It simplifies the complex process of querying blockchain data, making dapp development faster and easier.
+The Graph is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying blockchain data across [90+ networks](/supported-networks/).
 
-## Understanding the Basics
+Its data services include:
 
-Projects with complex smart contracts such as [Uniswap](https://uniswap.org/) and NFTs initiatives like [Bored Ape Yacht Club](https://boredapeyachtclub.com/) store data on the Ethereum blockchain, making it very difficult to read anything other than basic data directly from the blockchain.
+- [Subgraphs](/subgraphs/developing/subgraphs/): Open APIs to query blockchain data that can be created or queried by anyone.
+- [Substreams](/substreams/introduction/): High-performance data streams for real-time blockchain processing, built with modular components.
+- [Token API Beta](/token-api/quick-start/): Instant access to standardized token data requiring zero setup.
 
-### Challenges Without The Graph
+### Why Blockchain Data is Difficult to Query
 
-In the case of the example listed above, Bored Ape Yacht Club, you can perform basic read operations on [the contract](https://etherscan.io/address/0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d#code). You can read the owner of a certain Ape, read the content URI of an Ape based on their ID, or read the total supply.
+Reading data from blockchains requires processing smart contract events, parsing metadata from IPFS, and manually aggregating data.
 
-- This can be done because these read operations are programmed directly into the smart contract itself. However, more advanced, specific, and real-world queries and operations like aggregation, search, relationships, and non-trivial filtering, **are not possible**.
+The result is slow performance, complex infrastructure, and scalability issues.
 
-- For instance, if you want to inquire about Apes owned by a specific address and refine your search based on a particular characteristic, you would not be able to obtain that information by directly interacting with the contract itself.
+## How The Graph Solves This
 
-- To get more data, you would have to process every single [`transfer`](https://etherscan.io/address/0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d#code#L1746) event ever emitted, read the metadata from IPFS using the Token ID and IPFS hash, and then aggregate it.
+The Graph uses a combination of cutting-edge research, core dev expertise, and independent Indexers to make blockchain data accessible for developers.
 
-### Why is this a problem?
+Find the perfect data service for you:
 
-It would take **hours or even days** for a decentralized application (dapp) running in a browser to get an answer to these simple questions.
+### 1. Custom Real-Time Data Streams
 
-Alternatively, you have the option to set up your own server, process the transactions, store them in a database, and create an API endpoint to query the data. However, this option is [resource intensive](/resources/benefits/), needs maintenance, presents a single point of failure, and breaks important security properties required for decentralization.
+**Use Case:** High-frequency trading, live analytics.
 
-Blockchain properties, such as finality, chain reorganizations, and uncled blocks, add complexity to the process, making it time-consuming and conceptually challenging to retrieve accurate query results from blockchain data.
+- [Build Substreams](/substreams/introduction/)
+- [Browse Community Substreams](https://substreams.dev/)
 
-## The Graph Provides a Solution
+### 2. Instant Token Data
 
-The Graph solves this challenge with a decentralized protocol that indexes and enables the efficient and high-performance querying of blockchain data. These APIs (indexed "Subgraphs") can then be queried with a standard GraphQL API.
+**Use Case:** Wallet balances, liquidity pools, transfer events.
 
-Today, there is a decentralized protocol that is backed by the open source implementation of [Graph Node](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node) that enables this process.
+- [Start with Token API](/token-api/quick-start/)
 
-### How The Graph Functions
+### 3. Flexible Historical Queries
 
-Indexing blockchain data is very difficult, but The Graph makes it easy. The Graph learns how to index Ethereum data by using Subgraphs. Subgraphs are custom APIs built on blockchain data that extract data from a blockchain, processes it, and stores it so that it can be seamlessly queried via GraphQL.
+**Use Case:** Dapp frontends, custom analytics.
 
-#### Specifics
-
-- The Graph uses Subgraph descriptions, which are known as the Subgraph manifest inside the Subgraph.
-
-- The Subgraph description outlines the smart contracts of interest for a Subgraph, the events within those contracts to focus on, and how to map event data to the data that The Graph will store in its database.
-
-- When creating a Subgraph, you need to write a Subgraph manifest.
-
-- After writing the `subgraph manifest`, you can use the Graph CLI to store the definition in IPFS and instruct an Indexer to start indexing data for that Subgraph.
-
-The diagram below provides more detailed information about the flow of data after a Subgraph manifest has been deployed with Ethereum transactions.

-تدفق البيانات يتبع الخطوات التالية:
-
-1.  A dapp adds data to Ethereum through a transaction on a smart contract.
-2.  العقد الذكي يصدر حدثا واحدا أو أكثر أثناء معالجة الإجراء.
-3.  Graph Node continually scans Ethereum for new blocks and the data for your Subgraph they may contain.
-4.  Graph Node finds Ethereum events for your Subgraph in these blocks and runs the mapping handlers you provided. The mapping is a WASM module that creates or updates the data entities that Graph Node stores in response to Ethereum events.
-5.  The dapp queries the Graph Node for data indexed from the blockchain, using the node's [GraphQL endpoint](https://graphql.org/learn/). The Graph Node in turn translates the GraphQL queries into queries for its underlying data store in order to fetch this data, making use of the store's indexing capabilities. The dapp displays this data in a rich UI for end-users, which they use to issue new transactions on Ethereum. The cycle repeats.

+title: Graph Assistant FAQ
+sidebarTitle: FAQ
+---
+
+This page summarizes some of the most common questions for developers using Graph Assistant.
+
+1. What is The Graph Assistant?
+
+The Graph Assistant is an AI-powered chat interface that lets you query blockchain data in plain English. Under the hood, it translates your questions into GraphQL calls against Subgraphs and the Token API, then returns results, no coding required.
+
+2. What is an agentic application?
+
+An agentic application combines AI-driven reasoning with external data sources or APIs to take autonomous actions on your behalf. In this case, Graph Assistant acts as an “agent” that interprets your natural-language prompts, builds and dispatches GraphQL queries, and formats the results so that you don't need to write or manage queries yourself.
+
+3. Which networks and data does Graph Assistant support?
+
+The Assistant has access to Subgraphs across multiple chains. If a Subgraph is published to The Graph Network and is being indexed, the Assistant can automatically route queries to it. The Assistant also has access to the Token API on Ethereum Mainnet, BSC, Unichain, Arbitrum-One, Optimism, and Polygon.
+
+4. Is there a usage limit or quota?
+
+Yes, 10 questions per hour.
+
+5. What if the Assistant can't interpret my question?
+
+When the Assistant fails to parse your intent (for example, ambiguous token name, missing context, or an unsupported request), it will prompt you for clarification. For instance, it might ask, “Did you mean XYZ on Ethereum or XYZ on Arbitrum?” or “Please specify a date range for this query.” If you continue to see parsing errors, check that you're using correct token symbols or specifying networks and time frames clearly.
