# Inverse Subgraphs

Subgraphs are open APIs that index blockchain data in a highly structured and accessible manner, enabling dApps and other users to query that data efficiently. They form an integral part of The Graph, a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying data from blockchains.

Inverse-Subgraph is a specialized subgraph developed to primarily index data from the deprecated lending protocol known as Frontier. Even though Frontier is no longer in active use, the historical data indexed and stored by Inverse-Subgraph can provide valuable insights into past trends, operations, and user behavior. This information can be instrumental for understanding and improving upon past practices, as well as aiding in the creation of new strategies and products.

Inverse-Governance-Subgraph, on the other hand, is designed to index data from the Inverse DAO's governance model and the latest Fixed Rate Market lending protocol, FiRM. By tracking and storing all governance-related activities, this subgraph provides transparency and accountability, key aspects of any decentralized governance model. The indexing of FiRM data aids in monitoring its functioning and detecting any patterns or anomalies that may occur, thereby providing a robust risk management mechanism.

Having subgraphs for the Inverse DAO is of immense value. They allow the DAO to structure its blockchain data effectively, making it easily accessible and queryable. This enhances the transparency, efficiency, and data utilization capacity of the DAO, promoting better governance and informed decision-making. Moreover, subgraphs can improve the performance of the DAO's dApps by enabling them to retrieve necessary data rapidly and accurately.
