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 composable 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 is designed for an abundance of data transactions and offers developers the first scalable, decentralized infrastructure for building Web3 protocols and services.


Fast
Transactions
Ceramic uses asynchronous, parallel transaction processing and eventual consistency to power the world’s largest data applications.
Secure & Verifiable
Ceramic combines IPFS content addressing with advanced cryptography and blockchain timestamps to guarantee security and verifiability of data.
Web Scale
Every event stream has independent state and 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 and developers, making the data network free to use.
