Introducing Data as
A First‑Class Citizen
Within Web3
A universal, cost efficient data layer where you control your data on Ethereum
Queryable
Time‑scoped
Verifiable
Trustless by default
Ethereum‑aligned

[ Why arkiv ]
Current State of Data
Web2 is convenient—until lock‑in, outages, or policy changes
Web3 is trustworthy—but painful for data (rigid, slow, costly)
Having to choose between “Convenience” or “Control”
With Arkiv
Queryable by design. CRUD + indexes, not ad‑hoc indexers.
Time‑scoped. Pay by bytes × lifetime; auto‑prune on configurable dates.
Deterministic & verifiable. Same query → same answer.
[ How it Works ]
DB‑Chains
- Database experience with Web3 guarantees
- CRUD and queries via RPC
- Programmable expiration time
- GLM token for gas fees
Arkiv Chain
- Coordination and registry for DB‑Chains
- Multi‑token gas logic (initially GLM and ETH)
- Anchors L3s states
- Based on OP Stack
Ethereum
Final security & verifiability
[ GLM — Tokenomics ]
Fees
Data writes and management are designed to be paid via Arkiv with GLM at the core.
Multi‑token support
Arkiv supports multi‑token gas logic at L2 while keeping GLM central to the system's economics.
Incentives
GLM ecosystem incentives align actors across the Arkiv Ecosystem.
