Ceramic provides a decentralized data protocol that enables event streaming across a network of interoperable databases and applications. By publishing events to a globally ordered, Ethereum‑anchored ledger via hosted APIs, developers can build microservices, analytics pipelines, and full‑stack dApps without relying on centralized storage.

Problem
Developers of decentralized applications often struggle with fragmented data storage solutions that lack interoperability, scalability, and immutable ordering, making it difficult to build services that can share and synchronize data across multiple users and platforms.
Solution
Ceramic offers a decentralized data protocol that enables event streaming across a network of interoperable databases and applications. Data producers publish events to a Ceramic API, which stores them and makes them globally available. Events are globally ordered and anchored to the Ethereum blockchain, providing immutable timestamps and tamper‑evidence. Ceramic nodes form a peer‑to‑peer network that distributes and delivers events at scale, allowing developers to build applications that read and write shared data without relying on centralized servers. The protocol is exposed via a hosted API, simplifying integration for developers and supporting use cases such as microservices, search, analytics, and full‑stack dApps.
Target Audience
Primary customers are developers and product teams building decentralized applications, Web3 platforms, and data‑intensive services that require interoperable, tamper‑proof data infrastructure.
