How it works

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.
