Edge & Node
Edge & Node is a software development company best known as the initial engineering team behind The Graph protocol. Founded in 2021 by the protocol's original creators, the company plays a central role in building, maintaining, and scaling decentralized data infrastructure across the Web3 ecosystem. The firm develops open-source tools, indexing engines, and verifiable data frameworks designed to make blockchain data universally accessible, transparent, and secure. Through its collaborative initiatives and physical innovation hubs, Edge & Node supports developers, researchers, and institutions pioneering decentralized technologies to construct a more equitable internet infrastructure.
EDGE & NODE INITIATIVES
The Graph Protocol Engineering: Continues to advance core protocol software, such as Graph Node, indexing pipelines, and query tools that power decentralized applications across major blockchain networks.
Institutional Data Infrastructure: Develops enterprise-grade tools like Amp, providing regulated institutions, banks, and enterprises with verifiable multi-chain datasets and cryptographic proof of provenance.
Compliance for AI Agents: Builds compliance frameworks like ampersend to enforce programmable budgets, transaction guardrails, and audit trails for autonomous AI financial agents.
Ecosystem and Innovation Hubs: Hosts Web3 innovators and developers through collaborative physical spaces like The House, accelerating the adoption of new protocols, open-source projects, and decentralized software.
KEY PRODUCTS & TECHNOLOGIES BUILT
Amp (Institutional Blockchain Data): An enterprise-grade data platform giving banks, regulators, and institutions verifiable on-chain datasets by handling node operations, backfills, and reorganizations while supplying cryptographic provenance to trace data directly to its source.
ampersend (AI Agent Compliance Infrastructure): A regulatory compliance engine designed for the autonomous agent economy that sets programmable spending budgets, approval flows, and audit trails for automated financial transactions.
The House (Presidio, San Francisco): A 13,000-square-foot innovation and co-working hub in San Francisco's Presidio district built to foster open-source development, developer bootcamps, and Web3 ecosystem collaboration.
Graph Node: The core software engine that parses raw blockchain events, writes data to structured stores, and serves GraphQL queries for decentralized applications.
Subgraph Studio: A developer console and deployment pipeline that allows creators to build, test, deploy, and monetize subgraphs on The Graph's decentralized network.
The Graph Explorer: The public-facing directory and interface for browsing subgraphs, delegating GRT tokens, and analyzing network Indexer performance metrics.
Developer Tools & Infrastructure: Ongoing contributions to next-generation indexing frameworks, protocol upgrades (such as the Graph Horizon architecture), and multi-chain data pipelines.
