Decentralized Web Developers
You got into Web3 to build the decentralized future. Why are you still depending on centralized infrastructure?
You're here to build wallets, dApps, social protocols, or DAO tooling that actually matter. But every "decentralized" app you've shipped secretly depends on Infura, Alchemy, or some other centralized API. Your revolutionary dApp dies when their servers go down. Your users' sovereignty ends at your RPC provider's rate limits.
The blockchain solved consensus. Time to solve everything else.
Source gives you a verifiable database you embed directly in your app — not another service to depend on, but peer-to-peer data infrastructure that becomes part of your application itself. With DefraDB, your applications run with their own verifiable database — no external dependencies, no hosted services, just peer-to-peer data that syncs directly between your users.
The Compromises You're Tired of Making
You didn't come here to rebuild Web2 with extra steps:
Your "decentralized" app breaks when RPC providers go down or decide to censor traffic
User data still lives in someone else's cloud because there's no real alternative for verifiable off-chain state
You're rebuilding the same infrastructure — auth, sync, access control — for every single dApp
Offline is impossible when everything depends on live API calls
"Decentralized" indexers are just centralized services with better marketing
Your users have zero real control over their data, despite all the Web3 promises
Every compromise takes you further from the vision that brought you here in the first place.
Build the dApps you actually wanted to build
DefraDB embeds verifiable, peer-to-peer data directly in your application.
No more external dependencies. No more choosing between decentralization and functionality. No more explaining why your "decentralized" app needs internet to work.
