 ## Subgraphs
 
-First things first, if you just finished deploying and publishing your subgraph in Subgraph Studio, the Subgraphs tab on the top of the navigation bar is the place to view your own finished subgraphs (and the subgraphs of others) on the decentralized network. Here, you’ll be able to find the exact subgraph you’re looking for based on the date created, signal amount, or name.
+After you just finish deploying and publishing your subgraph in Subgraph Studio, click on the "subgraphs tab” at the top of the navigation bar to access the following:
+
+- Your own finished subgraphs
+- Subgraphs published by others
+- The exact subgraph you want (based on the date created, signal amount, or name).

-When you click into a subgraph, you’ll be able to test queries in the playground and be able to leverage network details to make informed decisions. You’ll also be able to signal GRT on your own subgraph or the subgraphs of others to make indexers aware of its importance and quality. This is critical because signaling on a subgraph incentivizes it to be indexed, which means that it’ll surface on the network to eventually serve queries.

 ### 1. Indexers
 
 ![Explorer Image 4](/img/Indexer-Pane.png)
 
-Let’s start with the Indexers. Indexers are the backbone of the protocol, being the ones that stake on subgraphs, index them, and serve queries to anyone consuming subgraphs. In the Indexers table, you’ll be able to see an Indexers’ delegation parameters, their stake, how much they have staked to each subgraph, and how much revenue they have made off of query fees and indexing rewards. Deep dives below:

+In the Indexers table, you can see an Indexers’ delegation parameters, their stake, how much they have staked to each subgraph, and how much revenue they have made from query fees and indexing rewards.
 
-- Query Fee Cut - the % of the query fee rebates that the Indexer keeps when splitting with Delegators
-- Effective Reward Cut - the indexing reward cut applied to the delegation pool. If it’s negative, it means that the Indexer is giving away part of their rewards. If it’s positive, it means that the Indexer is keeping some of their rewards
-- Cooldown Remaining - the time remaining until the Indexer can change the above delegation parameters. Cooldown periods are set up by Indexers when they update their delegation parameters
-- Owned - This is the Indexer’s deposited stake, which may be slashed for malicious or incorrect behavior
-- Delegated - Stake from Delegators which can be allocated by the Indexer, but cannot be slashed
-- Allocated - Stake that Indexers are actively allocating towards the subgraphs they are indexing
-- Available Delegation Capacity - the amount of delegated stake the Indexers can still receive before they become over-delegated

+- Allocated - Stake that Indexers are actively allocating towards the subgraphs they are indexing.
+- Available Delegation Capacity - the amount of delegated stake the Indexers can still receive before they become over-delegated.
 - Max Delegation Capacity - the maximum amount of delegated stake the Indexer can productively accept. An excess delegated stake cannot be used for allocations or rewards calculations.
-- Query Fees - this is the total fees that end users have paid for queries from an Indexer over all time
+- Query Fees - this is the total fees that end users have paid for queries from an Indexer over all time.
 - Indexer Rewards - this is the total indexer rewards earned by the Indexer and their Delegators over all time. Indexer rewards are paid through GRT issuance.
 
-Indexers can earn both query fees and indexing rewards. Functionally, this happens when network participants delegate GRT to an Indexer. This enables Indexers to receive query fees and rewards depending on their Indexer parameters. Indexing parameters are set by clicking on the right-hand side of the table, or by going into an Indexer’s profile and clicking the “Delegate” button.

 ### 2. Curators
 
-Curators analyze subgraphs to identify which subgraphs are of the highest quality. Once a Curator has found a potentially attractive subgraph, they can curate it by signaling on its bonding curve. In doing so, Curators let Indexers know which subgraphs are high quality and should be indexed.

+- Curators can be community members, data consumers, or even subgraph developers who signal on their own subgraphs by depositing GRT tokens into a bonding curve.

 ### 3. Delegators
 
-Delegators play a key role in maintaining the security and decentralization of The Graph Network. They participate in the network by delegating (i.e., “staking”) GRT tokens to one or multiple indexers. Without Delegators, Indexers are less likely to earn significant rewards and fees. Therefore, Indexers seek to attract Delegators by offering them a portion of the indexing rewards and query fees that they earn.

-Delegators, in turn, select Indexers based on a number of different variables, such as past performance, indexing reward rates, and query fee cuts. Reputation within the community can also play a factor in this! It’s recommended to connect with the indexers selected via [The Graph’s Discord](https://discord.gg/graphprotocol) or [The Graph Forum](https://forum.thegraph.com/)!

-- **Indexing rewards represent the amount of rewards the Indexers claimed from the network issuance during the epoch.** Although the protocol issuance is fixed, the rewards only get minted once the Indexers close their allocations towards the subgraphs they’ve been indexing. Thus the per-epoch number of rewards varies (ie. during some epochs, Indexers might’ve collectively closed allocations that have been open for many days).
