The graph is an amazing tool that engineers love and use, but maybe it's not as fun facing of a product. The point of the graph is to support all data use cases, regardless of what you want to build on whichever blockchain. So, our bread and butter right now is something called a subgraph, which is just a standard API. But over the next several years, there should be different kinds of data services and also different kinds of users being able to access it.

Squads Protocol: the multisig standard you were looking for on Solana
Securely manage your treasury, program upgrades and tokens with your Squad.
- Multi-signature - A multisig requires multiple digital signatures in order to approve transactions. This is opposed to individual web3 wallets, which only require one signature.
- Security - Multisigs spread the attack vector necessary for your assets to be compromised. By requiring confirmations from multiple private keys, a single point of failure is eliminated.
- Collective Ownership - Multisigs allow teams to own and manage their on-chain assets together. You get to choose who is on your multisig.
- Self-Custody - Your on-chain assets are always in your team’s control. By securing them in a multisig, you forego the risk of centralized entities losing your funds.
