DB Token Fair Launch Soon
The Layer-0 zkDatabase
for the AI-Driven Verifiable Internet
Mathematically-proven database with cloud performance and permanent storage. Zero-knowledge proofs enable queries from any blockchain. The verifiable data layer AI agents need.

Novel Encoding and Primitives
Composable Low-Level Primitives Unified Through Mathematical Rigor
FPJSON
Functional programming code as JSON with 250+ composable functions. Build complex access control and data transformations without writing smart contracts.
zkJSON
Zero-knowledge JSON proofs with domain-specific lightweight zk circuits. The Solidity query contracts are optimized with Yul assembly language.
zkDB
Optimistic ZK rollup database combining zkJSON proofs with nested sparse merkle trees. Query any offchain data directly from Solidity contracts with zkJSON.
HyperBEAM WAL
Write-Ahead Log on AO's HyperBEAM for durability and recoverability. In-memory DB rollups and HyperBEAM WAL emulates modern high performance LSM storage engines.
ARJSON
Bit-level encoding for append-only permanent storage such as Arweave. Absolute minimum compressed bits drastically reduce decentralized storage costs.
Monadic Pipeline
Monad-based data transformations with Kleisli composition, which makes the data pipleline hyper-modular and allows multi-paradigm DBs such as NoSQL, SQL and vector.

In-Memory Rollup
Query goes through in-memory rollup giving cloud performance with 10-200ms latency and 10,000 TPS throughput
WAL on HyperBEAM
WAL is stored in HyperBEAM process ensuring durability and recoverability coordinating between memory and permanent storage
Validator Network
Validators validate ARJSON compacted bits and merkle root hashes for zk-proofs using TEE before permanent finality on Arweave
Cross-Chain Queries
zkJSON allows other chains to query with cryptographic proofs generated in 1-3 seconds on consumer hardware
Use Cases
Build Without Limits
Applications impossible with traditional infrastructure become trivial
Decentralized Social Networks
Twitter/Reddit clones with JSON configuration. User-owned data, no servers, runs forever autonomously.
Universal zkOracles
Smart contracts query any data with cryptographic proof. Weather, prices, sports results—all verifiable.
Autonomous Data Markets
Self-governing databases with bonding curves. AI agents optimize tokenomics autonomously.
Coming Soon
Backed by Industry Leaders
Tokenomics
Self-Sustaining Economic Model
Dual-token system aligning incentives across developers, validators, and users
$DB Token
The foundational asset of the verifiable data economy. $DB secures the protocol, fuels query settlement, and aligns long-term incentives across the ecosystem.
Distribution Model
Core Utilities
- ✓Settlement currency for queries across all operators
- ✓Collateral for database bonding curves (DBTGE)
- ✓Validator staking and delegation rewards
- ✓Access to DEX Reserve yield and governance
App-Specific $dbTokens
Application-specific tokens emitted by each database with a bonding curve, backed by $DB. They enable app-specific local economies that capture value from usage.
DBTGE Bonding Curve with veDB Boost
Lock DurationveDB Boost
DBTGE Mechanism
- •Deposit $DB to mint app-specific $dbTokens
- •Lock periods from 3 months to 4 years with veToken multipliers
- •$dbTokens minted 1:1 with $DB yield for liquidity provision
- •$DB yield covers infrastructure costs for autonomous sustainability
