Web3 Standardization Platform ‘The Grid’ Debuts With Solana Integration
After seven years of development, The Grid has emerged as a metadata standardization system for Web3, beginning with Solana integration and securing €600,000 in angel funding. The platform aims to make blockchain ecosystems more accessible through structured data verification.
Meta-Standard Architecture
The Grid operates as a metadata aggregation system that structures blockchain information similar to how Google Maps organizes location data. Co-founder Jonathan Knegtel explains: "Think of this as an evolution rather than a revolution. The Grid provides ecosystem metadata."
The platform’s architecture includes:
- Data cleaning through LLM technology
- Human verification system (Four Eyes principle)
- GraphQL API for ecosystem integration
- Open source reference implementation
Integration and Market Impact
Solana serves as The Grid’s initial blockchain partner, with the platform having indexed its projects and associated metadata. While 60 additional Web3 companies have partnered with The Grid, their identities remain undisclosed.
The system’s practical applications extend to:
- Block explorers enhancement
- Wallet interface improvement
- Exchange data integration
The platform’s design allows cryptocurrency services to maintain control over their ecosystem data while benefiting from standardized formatting. "We are able to offer guidance that can lead to blockchain level recognition—to work with ecosystems where they may have previously struggled to get noticed," Knegtel stated.
Through its open core model, The Grid positions itself as a supplementary service rather than a competitor to existing blockchain infrastructure, focusing on data quality and accessibility for mainstream adoption.
