A dataverse of interoperable apps and services
Ceramic provides a protocol for decentralized event streaming
Ceramic's event streaming protocol creates a verifiable data ledger powering a network of interoperable applications, services and users.

API Hosting
Each Ceramic node hosts an instance of the Ceramic API to service requests from clients.

Event Storage
Data producers publish events to the Ceramic API, where they are stored and made globally available.

Event Ordering
Events are rolled up and anchored into the Ethereum blockchain for immutable timestamps.

Networking
Ceramic nodes distribute, share, and deliver events using a scalable decentralized network.
The most powerful protocol for Web3 data
Ceramic manages high-volume application data with the verifiable trust of a blockchain & the scalability of a traditional database.


Verifiable Trust
Ceramic acts as a data ledger, ensuring the provenance, order & integrity of data on the network.
Native Interoperability
Ceramic brings true composability to data—browse existing data models for your use case or define your own.
Fast & Scalable
Every event stream has independent state & nodes asynchronously process transactions, allowing Ceramic to scale far beyond financial blockchains or L2s.
Low Fees
Today Ceramic networks are run by volunteer node operators & developers, making the data network free to use.
