GRC-20

Protocolo Semântico e de Dados

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.

Detalhes

Licença CC0 (public domain) — stated directly in the GIP header.
Status de Dev 📝 Rascunho
Proprietário 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.
Órgão de Governança 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.

  • Internet Engineering Task Force
País Not specified — GRC-20 is a specification document, not an organization with a registered location.
Ano de Início 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.
Financiamento Not itself funded — a public specification. Its stewarding ecosystem (The Graph) is VC-backed with a live token (GRT); see Capture Risk Assessment.

Protocolo Semântico e de Dados Atributos

Origens 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.
Banco de Dados 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).
Linguagem 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 Dados 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.
Edição Colaborativa em Tempo Real N/A — a data-model specification, not an editing product.
Edição de Texto Rico N/A — not applicable to a data-model specification.
Suporte Móvel N/A at the standard level — mobile support is a property of implementations (e.g. Geo Genesis), not the GRC-20 spec itself.
Suporte Web N/A at the standard level — see Mobile Support.
Aplicativos Nativos N/A at the standard level — see Mobile Support.
Termos Free — CC0 public domain; no licensing terms or fees for using or implementing the standard.
Fundos Not confirmed in the sources reviewed — no distinct grant/funding figure for the GIP itself.
Baseado Em 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.

Compatibilidade com a Web Semântica 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.
Maturidade / Padronização do Protocolo 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 Vocabulário / Ontologia General-purpose — Types and Attributes are user/application-defined per Space, not a fixed domain vocabulary.
Padrão 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.
