description Ceramic Network Overview

Ceramic is a decentralized network designed for building applications that require real-time data and complex relationships. It utilizes a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure to manage data, offering high scalability and resilience. Ceramics focus on verifiable credentials and decentralized identity solutions positions it as a key player in the future of Web3.

help Ceramic Network FAQ

What problem is Ceramic Network designed to solve?

Ceramic gives Web3 applications a shared way to create, update and reuse signed data instead of keeping every user record inside one application's silo. Its documentation emphasizes verifiability, composability and data that can be reused across applications. [Ceramic documentation](https://developers.ceramic.network/docs/protocol/ceramic-one)

Is Ceramic a blockchain like Ethereum?

Ceramic is a decentralized data network and event-streaming protocol rather than a general-purpose Layer 1 blockchain. Its data can be anchored to EVM blockchains, but Ceramic itself uses streams and eventual consistency for application data. [Ceramic protocol](https://developers.ceramic.network/docs/introduction/protocol-overview)

How does Ceramic's DAG-style data history work?

Updates are stored as events that contain hash-links to earlier events, allowing a node to verify the history of a stream. Each update is signed by its author, and blockchain anchoring gives the data a verifiable sense of time. [Ceramic concepts](https://developers.ceramic.network/docs/protocol/ceramic-one/concepts)

What are ComposeDB and relationships used for on Ceramic?

ComposeDB lets developers define data models and query relationships between records such as profiles, credentials and other documents. That graph-like structure is useful when several applications need to read compatible data instead of maintaining separate copies. [Ceramic FAQ](https://blog.ceramic.network/faq-ceramic-network/)
