Overview
Develops and maintains Ceramic Network, an open-source decentralized data network. It lets apps store and manage verifiable data where users control their own data, using DIDs and verifiable credentials via an API-based, distributed data layer. It differentiates itself by offering a shared, interoperable data foundation for Web3 rather than consumer products, prioritizing user-centric data control and trust in decentralized apps. Its goal is to make the web more open, safe, and composable by providing trusted decentralized data infrastructure for developers building dApps, DeFi, and other blockchain services.
