what's Edge & Node?
Edge & Node is a company dedicated to advancing the decentralized web by creating and supporting open-source protocols and decentralized applications (dapps) in the web3 and DeFi ecosystems. As the initial team behind The Graph, a decentralized indexing protocol for querying blockchain data, they focus on building infrastructure that enables efficient data access and organization across blockchains. Their work emphasizes scalability, interoperability, and developer tools to power the next generation of decentralized applications. The company contributes to key web3 primitives, including subgraph development for The Graph, and has expanded into areas like AI agent payments with products such as ampersend, which integrates standards like x402 and A2A for secure, observable transactions. Edge & Node supports a global team of engineers and product managers, fostering innovation in decentralized data and agentic economies while maintaining a commitment to open protocols that democratize access to blockchain information.
