Introduction

Overview​

ComposeDB on Ceramic is a composable graph database built for Web3 app developers:

  • Graph database - Store and query data from a powerful graph, similar to Neo4j’s property graph database
  • Easy to use – Write your models as GraphQL schemas and connect your app using intuitive GraphQL APIs
  • Data composability – Reuse models from the marketplace to bootstrap your app with data, unlocking limitless data composability within ComposeDB’s open data ecosystem.
  • Sign in with Web3 – Securely authenticate users with wallets from Ethereum, Solana, and other popular blockchains.
  • Powered by Ceramic – ComposeDB is built on Ceramic, a mutable layer for IPFS with anchoring on Ethereum for finality.

For a complete introduction to ComposeDB concepts, see Core Concepts.

Build powerful Web3 applications​

ComposeDB on Ceramic powers Web3 applications and use cases, such as:

  • Decentralized identity – profiles, credentials, reputation systems
  • Social networks – social graphs, posts, likes, comments
  • DAO tools – proposals, tasks, contribution graphs
  • Information graphs – knowledge graphs, science graphs
  • … and so much more

Project Status: Beta​

ComposeDB officially entered Beta on February 28, 2023. What does this mean?

  • You can now build and deploy apps to production on mainnet!
  • Core features like GraphQL APIs, reusable models, and data composability are available
  • We will continue to improve performance and add more features
  • We are not yet guaranteeing a 100% stable, bug-free platform

If you want to provide feedback, request new features, or report insufficient performance, please make a post on the Forum, as we'd like to work with you. Thank you for being a ComposeDB pioneer and understanding that great Web3 protocols take time to mature.
