The protocol can do it for them, they just have to make a query, completely similar to what you’d do when you’re looking for something through Google. Developers would not have to develop a different platform altogether just to be able to feed data on their dapps. To put it simply, The Graph is like Google for blockchain. Through the platform, anyone can make queries on the blockchain without much cost, while incentivizing those who participate in the maintenance of its index. It links dapps and blockchains together to enable a frictionless and trustless interaction. The Graph (GRT) is an Ethereum-based decentralized and open-sourced indexing protocol for blockchain-based projects.
The work behind the protocol was meticulously done and it took the team three years before its mainnet was launched. It was designed to be a middle layer between decentralized applications (dapps) and blockchains- feeding reliable, accurate, and timely information without the need for any third-party involvement.

And in achieving full decentralization, it doesn’t help that data-related functions are left to different entities. While there are third-party data providers that ingest blockchain information and make them publicly-accessible for querying services, they are not completely trustless. Everyone who wanted to build an application had no option but to find their own way in gathering data from multiple sources and put them together. What got them frustrated, however, was the absence of an indexing and querying software for the blockchain. Tal and his team has had their fair share of developing applications on the blockchain before. The difficulty in fulfilling queries related to transaction information, as well as linking them in blockchain applications defeat the purpose of the technology. A group of software engineers led by Yaniv Tal, co-founder of The Graph, found that while the blockchain was designed to be a transparent ledger of data, it currently does not work that way.
