Ceramic
Ceramic is a decentralised data network that enables developers to build scalable, decentralised applications with verifiable, composable data.
Last verified 15 days ago (11 Aug 2026)
The documentation covers the Rust-based Ceramic One node, the Ceramic SDK, decentralized identifiers (DIDs), and self-anchoring on EVM blockchains. It does not provide details on tokenomics, node operator rewards, hardware requirements, or entry costs.

How this score was reached
Thinly documented, so verify before committing. This measures how well the network can be assessed and participated in: documentation, verification, cost of entry, maturity and operator risk. It is not a prediction of returns, and it reads nothing from token price.

What it does
Ceramic is a next-generation decentralised data network designed for building scalable, decentralised applications with verifiable, composable data. Using Ceramic One, a high-performance node implementation written in Rust, developers can run nodes, produce and consume events, and query data using Flight SQL. The protocol supports decentralised identifiers (DIDs) and allows self-anchoring on any EVM-compatible blockchain.
How it works
Ceramic operates via Ceramic One nodes that process and store verifiable event streams. Developers use the Ceramic SDK to interact with the protocol, while data can be queried using Flight SQL. Nodes can also run their own anchor services on EVM blockchains to secure and verify data states.
How to participate
Developers and operators can participate by installing and running a Ceramic One node, integrating the Ceramic SDK into their applications, or setting up a self-anchoring service on an EVM blockchain.
Requirements
- Node
- Requires running Ceramic One, the Rust-based implementation of the Ceramic protocol.
Pros and cons
Strengths
- High-performance Rust implementation (Ceramic One)
- Supports verifiable, composable data and decentralised identifiers (DIDs)
- Flexible self-anchoring on any EVM blockchain
Drawbacks
- Lack of details on node operator rewards or token incentives in the main developer documentation
Risks
The documentation does not outline financial risks, hardware outlays, or lock-up requirements for running nodes.
