7. What is the Graph?
The Graph is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying data from
blockchains, starting with Ethereum.
It makes it possible to query data that is otherwise difficult to query directly
(i.e. blockchain data :) )

8. What do we mean by ‘the data economy’
Broadly:
1. The global economy built on a different model of data ownership
2. An economy to trade data

9. What do I mean by data?
Broadly, any event associated with my identity.

10. A global economy built on a different model of
data ownership

11. How can data have economy?

12. Crypto changes ownership models

13. Understanding Web3

14. Broadly, an internet built on crypto principles

15. These principles are:
- Companies replaced by protocols
- Interaction with web through wallet identity
- In built incentives
- Fiat replaced by digital money

16. Self-sovereignty

17. (caveat, this has problems)

18. We end up with a digital identity

19. This identity replaces SSO

20. And if companies are replaced by protocols, we
have a natural way to interact with them with a
crypto identity

21. Crucially, everything is built on the same legos
and code based

22. As such, we can imagine a world where I can
tangibly ‘own’ my data and control access to it

23. As such, we can imagine a world where I can
tangibly ‘own’ my data and control access to it

24. There’s a tacit assumption that this is how crypto
will turn out, it could easily be something else

25. Assuming the internet is rebuilt as decentralised
protocols, there is a world where I have a totally
different relationship with my data

26. And in this world, my owning my data is crucial
to the working of the system

27. I can exit anytime, my consent has to be built
into the system working. My digital identity is
synonymous with my data

28. Right now, we leave emissions of our data
everywhere

29. Big problem that count stop this vision: KYC,
AML, regulation

30. Why do we have regulation?

31. Puts a lot of pressure on incentive design

32. Can we imagine a more likely world?

33. An economy to trade data

34. This is some world where we have web3 merged
into the current system’s safeguards (regulation,
fiat, government oversight). It’s permissioned
web3.

35. In this world I still have a digital identity and own
my data, with some limits

36. We could imagine the ability to control access to
the data in this economy, and sell access to use
services (still with an opt-out button)

37. New companies and experiences emerge

38. In this world, accessing blockchain data is super
duper vital

39. And where The Graph comes in
