In the digital age, a vast amount of information is generated online every day. However, this data is currently restricted within closed systems. The Graph aims to change this by revolutionizing access to information, allowing anyone to freely retrieve data from any source. With the recent launch of The Graph's Sunrise Upgrade Program, individuals now have the opportunity to take control.

Participating in this initiative and completing various tasks enables individuals to earn GRT tokens, incentivizing the decentralization of information. As we enter Phase 2 of Sunbeam in the Sunrise era, it's time to migrate subgraphs hosted services onto The Graph Network, embracing decentralized data while challenging centralized SaaS monopolies and other legacy web giants seeking to regain control.

The Sunrise Upgrade Program entails a range of creative missions, both on-chain and off-chain, supporting The Graph's decentralized data vision. Participants can earn rewards, including 4 million GRT tokens allocated by The Graph Foundation, by contributing to the initiative's goals. Registration opens on May 2nd, with a deadline of June 20th, providing ample opportunity for involvement regardless of one's crypto experience level.

The program offers two main tracks: the Web3 Visionary Track focuses on ecosystem growth through tasks such as educating others about The Graph Network, while the Web3 Builder Track emphasizes self-sovereignty over information by upgrading subgraphs and assisting others with their upgrades.

To unlock the full potential of Web3 and promote data autonomy, individuals are encouraged to join the Sunrise Upgrade Program and collaborate with fellow Graphers. Those interested can register and participate in missions through the dedicated #sunrise-upgrade-program channel on The Graph's official Discord server.
