Features of Polybase:
web3 Native: Use Polybase from smart contracts or dApps and verify zk proofs of the data.
Blazing Fast: Integrated storage and indexing mean 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.
What can you build using Polybase?
Social & Chat:
Give users web2-like speed and UX for truly decentralized alternatives.
DAO Tooling:
Enable full decentralization for DAOs by combining off-chain data with on-chain actions, secured by zk proofs.
Large Public Datasets:
Derisk infra provider ToS changes by decentralizing datasets with integrated indexing and querying.
Data DAOs:
Crowdsource data with decentralized contribution, validation, and payment.
Oracle Buffers:
Mitigate oracle attacks by validating data before it is fed into smart contracts with strict, immutable rules.
Non-Custodial Data:
Create a decentralized application where user data is stored on Polybase and encrypted by their wallet.
Modern dApp infrastructure:
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.
Our co-founders talked to a 100s of web3 developers and one important trade-off everyone was making is that they use a centralized database in order to improve UI/UX and the cost.
They felt this was a huge problem and decided to build Polybase which is a web3 native database. The entire idea of Polybase is to enable a web3 native database that is as performant and cost-efficient as a web2 database.
Here is our whitepaper and docs that would help you get started with Polybase
Feel free to hit us up with any questions you have got about Polybase and how we fit into the web3 tech stack, we would love to break them down for you.
