# Edge & Node

> Edge & Node is the San Francisco software company founded by the core team behind The Graph, the indexing protocol that quietly powers data queries for much of DeFi. After years building open web3 infrastructure, the company has pivoted its commercial focus toward institutions: turning messy on-chain activity into structured, verifiable datasets that banks, stablecoin issuers, and enterprises can audit and prove. Its products now span Amp (verifiable blockchain data via a SQL API), ampersend (a control layer for AI-agent payments built with Coinbase, Google, and the Ethereum Foundation), and fixed-scope compliance advisory work.
