Proposal Overview
Hello Graph Team, we would like to propose an idea to grow The Graph in the thriving Indian Community.
Since November 2021, there has been a steady rise in crypto ownership in India, jumping from 14.7% to 30% in April 2022. Many people are investing in popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Indian developers are actively involved in the crypto space, working on open-source blockchain protocols like Ethereum and contributing to developing decentralized applications.
Indian Developers are also participating in blockchain and cryptocurrency-focused hackathons in India, which offer opportunities for developers to collaborate and develop innovative blockchain-based solutions. Moreover, there is also a growing interest in DeFi applications and blockchain-focused hackathons in India. Despite concerns about regulation and potential risks, the Indian crypto community continues to grow and innovate.
With The Graph, developers in India can leverage a powerful indexing technology to build their decentralized applications and query networks with ease. By establishing a strong Indian community around The Graph, we can facilitate the exchange of knowledge and support, and drive the development of a thriving web3 ecosystem in India. Moreover, the tools and resources of The Graph can empower Indian developers to bring their ideas to life and contribute to the growth and evolution of the decentralized web.
The Graph India Guild Vision
Educate: The objective is to raise awareness among developers about The Graph indexing protocol, with the aim of making it simpler for them to build scalable open APIs using the platform’s tools and resources.
Onboard: Our vision is to extend the reach of The Graph to the Indian developer community and increase awareness of the protocol they offer. This will enable developers to leverage The Graph’s powerful tools to build APIs, ultimately fostering the growth and development of the decentralized web in India.
Development: Our mission is to inspire Indian developers to use The Graph’s powerful tools to build scalable open APIs and drive the growth of the decentralized web in India. We aim to empower developers to unleash their creativity and contribute to a thriving web3 ecosystem in India by leveraging The Graph’s indexing protocol.
What do we aim to do?
Our plan is to introduce The Graph to the Indian developer community, web3 influencers, and mass audience, in order to educate and increase awareness about the platform’s powerful indexing protocol. As India has one of the highest rates of crypto adoption and development of decentralized APIs, we see enormous potential for organic growth in the country. Our goal is to drive growth and expansion of The Graph ecosystem in India, by reaching out to the large Indian crypto community through new initiatives in web3, DeFi, NFTs, Dapps, and other areas. By bringing more users from India into The Graph ecosystem, we can contribute to the development of a thriving web3 ecosystem in the country.
