Have you heard of TheGraph protocol? Their product consists of basically giving us tools for indexing smart contracts in a decentralized way, trough subgraphs. In other words, I needed a way to read all events in a smart contract (in this case, bids on a Lens Auction) so this subgraph gives me easy access to read them! So I can show on @lens/mysticgarden everytime someone bids on an Auction! The "decentralized" aspect comes from the code being deployed to Arbitrum or other chain you choose. So it's a different kind of "graph". Instead of social information, it's more like a graph of data information.
