Beyond Tokens: Building Web3’s Composable Knowledge Layer
05-28, 12:00–12:25 (CET), Flower

Web3 isn't only DeFi—composability should be a public good. Yaniv Tal introduces GRC-20, a knowledge graph standard for interoperable, verifiable data, enabling communities to build user-owned apps across identity, governance, and more.


Yaniv Tal, founder of The Graph and Geo, will break down:
1. Why Web3 needs better primitives to move beyond siloed apps.
2. How knowledge graphs (entity-relation models) enable cross-application interoperability.
3. Real-world use cases: From event coordination (e.g., ETH Denver) to AI-augmented querying.
4. The roadmap: Integrating GRC-20 with The Graph’s decentralized indexing for a verifiable, composable future.
This session is for builders rethinking data ownership, and anyone tired of platform lock-in.

Yaniv Tal is the founder The Graph & Geo, where he’s building the foundations for a decentralized, verifiable Web3. With a background in firmware, UI, and decentralized protocols, he now focuses on building a new knowledge graph standard enabling composable, user-owned apps. Yaniv is also cofounder of Edge & Node and House of Web3 in San Francisco.
