The document summarizes an 8 week event series called "Encode x The Graph" that educates people about the decentralized data network The Graph. It discusses two ways for people to get involved without being technical - by curating subgraphs to identify high quality ones and earn fees, or by delegating GRT tokens to indexers to earn a portion of their rewards and fees. The event will cover topics like introductions, AMAs, the data economy, subgraphs, curating, delegating, and showcasing The Graph project.

4. 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 :) )

5. We went through the basics

6. We went through ‘the data economy’

7. We went through subgraphs

8. Curating and delegating

9. In basic terms -> how to be involved in The Graph
without being technical

10. What is a curator?
You identify high-quality subgraphs

11. Subgraphs are open-source, not all are good

12. Curators analyse subgraphs and signal the best

13. They highlight subgraphs to indexers

14. Anyone can be a curator

15. You deposit GRT into a bonding curve of a
particular subgraph to mint ‘curation shares’

16. You earn a portion of query fees relative to the
shares you own for a particular subgraph

18. So there’s an incentive to spot subgraphs early

19. You don’t need to be technical! Just you need to
be able to do metamask transitions.

20. There is no minimum deposit required

21. Overall, you don’t need to be technical, you do
need to invest time and the risk is high (you may
buy shares in subgraphs too late)

22. Whilst there is no minimum amount of GRT to
curate, a minimum of 100 is needed to curate a
graph with no signal.

23. Beware: 2.5% curation fee and ETH gas prices!

24. Quick demo

25. Delegating

26. Delegators stake GRT to indexers

27. Indexers are node operators that index and serve
data through subgraphs

28. Indexers earn rewards and query fees, without
delegators indexers are less likely to earn
rewards and fees

29. Indexers seek to attract delegators by offering
them a portion of the indexing rewards and
query fees that they earn.

30. There’s a 0.5% delegation fee

31. Your stake is locked for 28 days

32. To choose a great indexer, you look at the fees
you get (query fee, index fee) and the ‘parameter’
cooldown

33. There are tools (graphlets.io, oracleminer.com,
stake-machine.com, graphscan.io)

34. Let’s check it out

35. How to delegate

36. In sum
