2. Our Services: Overview

The Website offers a unique solution through the Playgrounds API, designed to enhance your interaction with The Graph‘s decentralized network. Our service sidesteps traditional complexities associated with wallet and GRT management by providing an accessible API key and URL, facilitating seamless integration with the decentralized ecosystem.

For instance, you can utilize the Playgrounds API to query subgraphs in your data environment, thereby accessing valuable data from The Graph's decentralized service. However, any data download operations after the query are independent and beyond the purview of our environment.

The Playgrounds API also offers a software-as-a-service (SaaS) like experience for decentralized subgraphs, full integration with Subgrounds, and allows users to monitor their API key usage.

We offer our services in four tiered plans: Free, Professional, Team, and Enterprise. Each of these plans comes with different levels of features and services to cater to a wide range of user needs. Users can choose the plan that best fits their requirements, with each plan subject to the conditions and limitations as detailed on our Website or during the sign-up process.

In addition, we may offer additional or premium features from time to time - if we do so, your use of such features will be subject to a separate license agreement between you and Playgrounds.

By using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these terms and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your use of the service.
