What is Decentralized Social?

P2P
User Data
Censorship Resistant
Interoperable

Peer-to-Peer

Networks are propagated across various independent nodes and do not rely on a centralized server.

User-Data Controlled

Platforms built on user-owned data provide end users the flexibility to access data across multiple networks.

Censorship Resistance

While front ends can censor at the interface level, the data network they are built on provides assurances against this behavior.

Modular & Interoperable

Decentralized social data storage allows founders to access and interpret user data and start creating value from day one.

Ceramic is purpose-built for decentralized data storage with native features for social

COST

Dynamic Data

Social data doesn’t require the same consensus mechanisms as transferable assets. Ceramic is built for performance and accommodates dynamic data at virtually no cost to the end user.

CONTROL

Users Control Their Data

A data stream created by a user account is forever controlled by that account only. Users can grant temporary access to applications to write data on their behalf in the form of user sessions, but they are free to access, change, or encrypt their data at any time and with any interface.

PROVENANCE

Transparent Origin

Ceramic is a public data network by default, allowing users, applications & auditors to easily extract the origin of data and observe how it changed across an immutable log of cryptographically-signed commits.

COMPOSABLE

Predictable Data Formats

ComposeDB schemas allow decentralized social media founders to enjoy consistent, immutable data formats containing useful user data, making it easy to bootstrap an application. From profiles, to credentials, to posts—Ceramic already contains a multitude of public data from other applications & real users.
