THE WEB3 DATABASE
Queryable, time-scoped, tamper-proof, and wallet-owned. The guarantees of blockchain, the performance of a database. Built for Ethereum. Powered by $GLM.
[ Why Arkiv ]
Queryable
Filter and paginate records through indexed attributes using a query language.
Time-scoped
Data is removed from the query surface on expiration.
Tamper-proof
Built-in Web3 guarantees make changes evident.
Wallet-owned
Only your wallet can update and delete your data.
[ The problem ]
Why the status quo hurts.
For years, builders had to choose. Web2 is fast and convenient, until it locks you in, goes down, or shuts you out. Web3 hands you ownership, then makes you pay for it in speed, simplicity, and money.
Smart contracts run without middlemen — but today's chains were never meant to be data-centric. So dapps often keep their leaderboards, agent memory, and historical data in a centralized database whose operator can throttle, censor, or switch it off. The apps are decentralized. Their data isn't.
Smart contracts run without middlemen — but today's chains were never meant to be data-centric. So dapps often keep their leaderboards, agent memory, and historical data in a centralized database whose operator can throttle, censor, or switch it off. The apps are decentralized. Their data isn't.
Data that lands on-chain is hard to query — anything beyond a simple lookup means running your own indexer or trusting somebody else's server.
Most Web3 solutions store data forever — even data that only needs to live for a day — making systems heavier and more expensive over time.
The protocol for owned, queryable data, with Web3 guarantees.
[ Solution ]
Arkiv's data lifecycle.
Submit data transactions to the network. Query by indexed attributes. Anchor ownership to your wallet. Set expiration for cost efficiency. Build through a user-friendly SDK and familiar RPC calls.
01 Write
Store expirable data with queryable attributes, written to a DB-Chain.
02 Own
Manage your data with a wallet. Write, update, and delete.
03 Query
Anyone can retrieve data using a query language served over familiar RPC endpoints.
04 Expiration
Data is pruned when the expiration time comes. Extend it when needed.
[ GLM ]
Arkiv is powered by $GLM.
Emerged from the Golem ecosystem, active since 2016. Arkiv extends $GLM from compute into owned, queryable data.
