The Graph is a protocol for building decentralized applications quickly on Ethereum and IPFS using GraphQL.

We're building The Graph because we've seen the challenges in getting data off blockchains. We envision The Graph as a truly decentralized ecosystem where the community can collaborate on curating quality data sources available to all. Together we can build a new generation of the web free from data silos and monopolies.

MicroBT, Shenzhen-based mining chip manufacturer and a new and well-capitalized competitor to mining juggernaut Bitmain.

Yang Zuoxing, the former director of chip design at Bitmain, is toiling hard to fight against his old employer and build his 2-year-old startup into the dominant provider for crypto mining chips. After earning a PhD in engineering physics from the prestigious Tsinghua University, Yang’s career has focused on chip design.

In the spring of 2015, Yang joined Bitmain’s team to design the AntMiner S7 and S9, the two most popular bitcoin mining chips manufactured and supplied by the mining giant. But he left the company in June 2016 after Jihan Wu and Micree Zhan, co-founders of Bitmain, disapproved his request for a stake in the business. One month later, he established his own crypto chip company, Micro BT.

Since his departure, the company finds it hard to maintain its dominant position and is losing its technological edge. Bitmain failed to make a breakthrough in chip design over the past two years, although they spent billions of dollars on it.

 “After Yang Zuo Xing left, Bitmain was unable to produce any new chips successfully. Bitmain’s 16nm BM1X89, 12nm BM1X90, 10nm BM1X93, all failed. Bitmain is working 7nm chips now but gains are minimal.” Blockstream CSO Samson Mow said in a tweet on August 26.

Besides, Bitmain failed to sue Yang over patent rights. The Urumqi Intermediate Court in China’s Xinjiang autonomous region ultimately revoked Bitmain’s patent on grounds that the circuit designs in question were widely used in August.

In contrast, Yang’s own startup is on the fast track to success. MicroBT launched its flagship  Whatsminer M10 using 16nm ASIC chip technology last month.As Yang put it, this product is 30% more efficient than Bitmain’s new AntMiner S9 Hydro. And many industry insiders believe  Whatsminer chips will be the real ‘game changer’.

I am a software developer, entrepreneur, and researcher based in Texas. I spend a lot of my time researching and consulting on decentralized systems, cryptocurrencies, blockchain systems, and InfoSec topics. Some things I enjoy include converting VHS tapes to digital formats, playing tabletop RPGs with friends, TV shows targeted at millennials, Overwatch, and cookies ‘n cream flavored ice cream. I am currently splitting my time between my IoT blockchain security startup Oaken Innovations and the Ethereum Foundation.

I was born in 1994 in Russia and moved to Canada in 2000, where I went to school. I happily played World of Warcraft during 2007-2010, but one day Blizzard removed the damage component from my beloved warlock's Siphon Life spell. I cried myself to sleep, and on that day I realized what horrors centralized services can bring. I soon decided to quit.

In 2011, searching for a new purpose in life, I discovered Bitcoin. At first, I was skeptical, and did not understand how it could possibly have value without physical backing. But slowly I became more and more interested. I started writing for a blog called Bitcoin Weekly initially at a meek wage of $1.5 per hour, and soon with Mihai Alisie cofounded Bitcoin Magazine.

In 2012, I entered the University of Waterloo; in 2013 I realized that crypto projects were taking up 30h/week of my time, so I dropped out. I went around the world, explored many crypto projects, and finally realized that they were all too concerned about specific applications and not being sufficiently general - hence the birth of Ethereum, which has been taking up my life ever since.
