Four documents, the same five questions.

No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.

QuestionThe Graph: a decentralised query protocol for blockchains
What the text proposesThe Graph's protocol paper for indexing chain data. Indexers stake on serving a subgraph. Curators signal which subgraphs matter. Consumers pay for queries. The problem is read access, not consensus.
Who may writeYaniv Tal, Brandon Ramirez and the Graph team
What is settledA subgraph schema defines how chain events become queryable entities.
Load-bearing assumptionAn index is not a source of truth above the chain. If it disagrees with the chain, the chain wins.
What this library says afterwardsThe paper does not make every possible query cheap.
