Mediachain is a decentralized universal media library acting as a singular data fabric for open-first media applications. It functions as a global data layer for powering serverless applications, allowing users to publish, discover, and collaborate on media metadata without the need for a centralized database.
Mediachain allows developers to build decentralized, dynamic applications similar to those in Web 2.0 without relying on centralized databases. This enables content creators to maintain control over their data and identity, while facilitating value exchanges without intermediaries.
Unlike traditional DHT and blockchain systems, Mediachain efficiently scales when handling billions of small records. It supports use cases like high cardinality datasets archiving and building internet-scale decentralized media applications, offering a unique decentralized data layer.
Mediachain complements the decentralized application protocol stack by acting as the database layer. It works alongside Ethereum, which handles logic, and IPFS, which manages the file system, creating a cohesive environment for dApps and content networks.
Mediachain is ideal for a variety of projects, including cultural collaborations among museums, open-licensed image sharing platforms, music industry rights data sharing, and decentralized blogging platforms. It supports any application that requires a collaborative and decentralized approach to media metadata.
If you experience scaling issues with Mediachain, ensure your application architecture aligns with its decentralized nature. Consider optimizing data handling processes to leverage Mediachain’s capabilities of efficiently managing billions of small records for your specific use case.
A decentralized universal media library.
Mediachain is a singular data fabric for open-first media applications.
It serves the role of a traditional database, but is a decentralized, global data layer for powering serverless applications.
It is a single port of entry for applications and users to publish, discover, and collaborate on media metadata.
With Mediachain, a group of museums can collaborate on cultural heritage data in a shared system, a cooperative of openly-licensed image sharing platforms can publish attribution information to a community-maintained ledger, a consortium of music industry organizations can share rights data without ceding control to a third party, and a developer can build a decentralized blogging platform without needing to run a centralized database.
Mediachain complements emerging technologies in the decentralized application protocol stack, where Ethereum is the logic layer, IPFS is the file system, and Mediachain is the database.
Unlike traditional DHT and blockchain-based systems, Mediachain scales efficiently when publishing billions of small records, and can accommodate use-cases like archiving high cardinality datasets or building internet-scale decentralized media applications.
