Hypergraph

P2P Platform

A local-first framework for building privacy-preserving, composable web3 applications on the GRC-20 knowledge-graph standard, published by The Graph (graphprotocol org). Ships as a small toolset — Hypergraph (the framework), Hypergraph React (bindings), TypeSync (schema tooling), Geo Connect (auth for granting app access to a user's private Spaces), and GRC-20 TS (the underlying SDK). Explicitly labeled Developer Preview: "Don't use in production!"

Details

License MIT — confirmed via GitHub's own license detection on the graphprotocol/hypergraph repository (a real LICENSE file, unlike the geobrowser/geogenesis app repo).
Dev Status 🧪 Alpha
Owner The Graph (GitHub org: graphprotocol) — published under The Graph's own organization, distinct from Geo Browser, PB LLC's separate ownership of the Geo Genesis app.
Governing Body The Graph Foundation / graphprotocol organization — community/ecosystem governance in the same sense as GRC-20 itself, distinct from Geo Genesis's single-company (Geo Browser, PB LLC) control.
Country Not confirmed in the sources reviewed.
Start Year 2024
Stack TypeScript (confirmed as the repository's primary language); packages: hypergraph (core framework), hypergraph-react (React bindings), create-hypergraph (scaffolding), plus TypeSync and Geo Connect as separate tools.
Funding Published by The Graph, a VC-backed protocol with a live traded token (GRT) — raised funding across multiple rounds since 2019 from investors including Coinbase Ventures, Multicoin Capital, and Digital Currency Group. No funding specific to the Hypergraph project itself was found.

P2P Platform Attributes

Origins Ecosystem/SDK — built to give web3 developers a ready-made local-first, privacy-preserving application framework on top of the GRC-20 standard, rather than each app reimplementing sync/encryption from scratch.
Database Local-first storage on-device, with end-to-end-encrypted P2P sync between a user's own devices/collaborators and on-chain anchoring for public data — implements the GRC-20 data model (see the GRC-20 entry) as its storage substrate.
Query Language Not confirmed in the sources reviewed — no query language named beyond the framework's own TypeScript APIs and GRC-20 TS SDK.
Data Formats GRC-20 entities/triples/relations (see the GRC-20 entry), authored/synced via the framework's TypeScript APIs.
Collaborative Live Editing Not confirmed in the sources reviewed.
Rich Text Editing Not confirmed in the sources reviewed.
Mobile Support Not confirmed in the sources reviewed — a TypeScript/React framework; mobile support would depend on the consuming application, not stated as a Hypergraph feature itself.
Web Support Yes — Hypergraph React provides web (React) bindings.
Native Apps N/A — a developer framework/SDK, not an end-user application itself.
Terms Free and open source (MIT); developer tooling, not a hosted service with its own terms.
Funds Not confirmed in the sources reviewed — no Hypergraph-specific figure; see Funding for The Graph's own disclosed rounds.
Based On GRC-20 (the data standard it implements); builds on the same Geo/testnet infrastructure as Geo Genesis (the Geo Testnet, per its own README).
P2P Architecture Local-first with end-to-end-encrypted peer-to-peer sync between a user's own private-Space participants; on-chain anchoring for public GRC-20 Spaces, consistent with the GRC-20 spec's own public/private Space distinction.
Development Tools TypeSync (schema creation/management), Geo Connect (auth for private-Space permissions), GRC-20 TS (knowledge-graph SDK), Hypergraph React (React bindings), create-hypergraph (project scaffolding).
Deployment Options Embedded in a developer's own web3 application — not a standalone hosted deployment; currently targets the Geo Testnet, not mainnet.
Authentication & Identity Geo Connect — a dedicated authentication app for granting a consuming application permission to a user's private Spaces.
Storage Model Local-first (on-device) with P2P sync for private Spaces; on-chain anchoring plus IPFS for public Spaces (inherited from the GRC-20 model).
Interoperability Built directly on GRC-20, so any Hypergraph-authored knowledge is interoperable with other GRC-20 consumers (e.g. Geo Genesis) by design.
Social Graph Not confirmed in the sources reviewed — no explicit social-graph feature described; Spaces/participants are the closest analog.
