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. 

Build on a shared, community-driven data ecosystem

Social

Grow users & engagement with chat, DMs, followers and social experiences that follow users across applications

Reputation

Add trust and safety to your app or service with portable profiles, identity, reputation, KYC, anti-sybil, and verifiable activity

Collaboration

Power decentralized collaboration and collective decision-making with proposals, votes, reactions, and contribution graphs

Verifiability

Ceramic's verifiable data store ensures user actions are signed and trustworthy, extending user activity beyond a single app
