The web3 database
Faster and cheaper than any blockchain, Polybase introduces a high performance decentralized database native to web3.
Web3 native
Use Polybase from smart contracts or dApps and verify zk proofs of the data.
Blazing fast
Integrated storage and indexing means low latency writes and queries.
Wallet authentication
Use existing wallets to login and encrypt data for "non-custodial data".
Horizontal scalability
Collections are sharded with configurable replication.
Start building
Polybase is a drop-in replacement for Firebase Firestore with a fast, decentralized storage backend.
// Add record to collectionPolybase.collection('books').create('bitcoin').set({title: 'Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System',author: 'Satoshi Nakamoto',})// Read record from collectionconst res = await Polybase.collection('books').record('bitcoin').get()
What you can build
Social and chat
Give users web2-like speed and UX for truly decentralized alternatives.
NFT Metadata
Go beyond static metadata with dynamic and permissioned decentralized NFT metadata.
DEX
Build fast and high TPS decentralized exchanges without any gas fees.
DAO tooling
Enable permissionless building by allowing DAO members to build with no-code tools on a shared database.
Collaborative datasets
Crowdsource data with decentralized contribution, validation and payment.
Non-custodial data
Create a decentralized application where user data is stored on Polybase encrypted by their wallet.
Modern dApp infrastructure
Polybase can store any kind of structured data: user data, app state and metadata. Compose it with smart contracts and file storage for truly decentralized applications.
Non-custodial data
Today, when you use an app or website, you load data from a far away centralized database. When the app or website becomes popular, these centralized databases become the bottleneck.
And as your data flows through centralized databases, it is captured and locked away. Your private data is abused for profit.
Polybase moves the database to your device and a decentralized peer to peer network. You control who can access your data. Not only is this faster and cheaper, but it enables new types of apps and services that were never possible before.
