Subgraph Manifest (The Graph)

A subgraph manifest is a description that empowers subgraphs to independently learn what Ethereum data to index and how to index it. These manifests play a pivotal role in forming subgraphs, which become part of the network’s global graph of blockchain data after deployment. Typically integrated into the digital database composed of multiple subgraphs, the subgraph manifest defines the specific smart contracts a subgraph indexes, the essential events from these contracts, and the process of mapping event data to entities stored by a Graph Node, enabling the generation of queries.
