GRC-20

Protocolo Semántico y de Datos

GRC-20 is an open data standard for structuring and connecting knowledge on The Graph — entities, attributes, and values grouped into governed "Spaces," with relations as graph edges and Protobuf-encoded, content-addressed records. Authored by Yaniv Tal and Byron Guina (Draft v0.1.0, CC0), it aims to "do for knowledge what ERC-20 did for fungible tokens": a common, composable schema any web3 application can read and write against, rather than each project inventing its own. Geo Genesis is the standard's flagship application; Hypergraph is its local-first SDK/framework.

Detalles

Licencia CC0 (public domain) — stated directly in the GIP header.
Estado de Desarrollo 📝 Borrador
Propietario The Graph Improvement Proposals process (graphprotocol/graph-improvement-proposals repo); authored by Yaniv Tal and Byron Guina. No single corporate owner — a public, CC0-licensed specification.
Órgano de Gobierno The Graph's Graph Improvement Proposals (GIP) process and repository — a public review track, not a neutral standards body (contrast W3C/IETF). No corporate owner of the specification itself.

País Not specified — GRC-20 is a specification document, not an organization with a registered location.
Año de Inicio 2024
Stack Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) for encoding; no single reference-implementation language — the specification is implementation-neutral, though its flagship implementations (Geo Genesis, Hypergraph) are TypeScript/JavaScript.
Financiamiento Not itself funded — a public specification. Its stewarding ecosystem (The Graph) is VC-backed with a live token (GRT); see Capture Risk Assessment.

Protocolo Semántico y de Datos Atributos

Orígenes Knowledge Base / Ecosystem-SDK — created to give web3 applications a common, interoperable schema for structured knowledge, explicitly framed as filling a gap RDF/the semantic web left unaddressed for a decentralized, non-server-dependent web.
Base de Datos No native database — GRC-20 is a data model/encoding specification, not a storage system. Implementations choose their own storage (e.g. Geo Genesis anchors public Spaces on-chain with IPFS content-addressing; Hypergraph is local-first with P2P sync).
Lenguaje de Consulta Not specified in the GIP — the specification defines the data model and encoding only, not a query interface. The Graph's own GraphQL/subgraph layer is the likely query surface for GRC-20 data in practice, but this is not confirmed as GRC-20-native in the sources reviewed.
Formatos de Datos Entities/Attributes/Values as triples grouped into Spaces; Relations as property-graph edges; Types as schemas; six native value types (Text, Number, Checkbox, URL, Time, Point). Encoded via Protocol Buffers; IDs are 22-character Base58-encoded globally unique identifiers.
Edición Colaborativa en Vivo N/A — a data-model specification, not an editing product.
Edición de Texto Enriquecido N/A — not applicable to a data-model specification.
Soporte Móvil N/A at the standard level — mobile support is a property of implementations (e.g. Geo Genesis), not the GRC-20 spec itself.
Soporte Web N/A at the standard level — see Mobile Support.
Aplicaciones Nativas N/A at the standard level — see Mobile Support.
Términos Free — CC0 public domain; no licensing terms or fees for using or implementing the standard.
Fondos Not confirmed in the sources reviewed — no distinct grant/funding figure for the GIP itself.
Basado En The Graph's existing indexing/subgraph infrastructure, named as the standard's home network; explicitly positioned as a web3-native alternative to RDF/the semantic web rather than an extension of it.

Compatibilidad con la Web Semántica N/A / explicitly not RDF-compatible by design — the GIP states plainly that "a new standard is necessary for web3" because RDF's URI-based identifiers presuppose server-hosted resolution, which GRC-20 was written to avoid. A deliberate divergence, not an oversight.
Madurez del Protocolo / Estandarización Graph Improvement Proposal (GIP) track, Draft status, v0.1.0 — not a W3C/IETF standard; governed by The Graph's own GIP repository/process rather than a neutral standards body.
Tipo de Vocabulario / Ontología General-purpose — Types and Attributes are user/application-defined per Space, not a fixed domain vocabulary.
Patrón de Uso Standalone data model, consumed via implementations — Geo Genesis (application layer) and Hypergraph (SDK/framework layer) are the two current adopters; the GIP states other applications may create/consume GRC-20 knowledge independently.
