Digital libraries keep rebuilding the same shelf

Book records are scattered, every reading app invents its own data model, and web3 versions ask readers for wallets. Data Pond gives every app the same library records and permanent storage, with the web2 experience people know.

  • Every app should not have to invent its own catalogue and blockchain integration.
  • Readers should not need a wallet or crypto to read a book or keep their notes.
  • Records should use the identifiers and classifications libraries already use.

What problem are we solving?

01

D-SAFE Network

Need one standard framework to build on, instead of each team writing its own blockchain code.

02

Libraries and catalogues

Need records that use the identifiers and classifications they already use: ISBN, Dewey, Library of Congress, UNIMARC fields.

03

Open Code partners

Need visible, copyrighted code they can use, copy and distribute for non-commercial use under clear terms, without modifying it.

04

Public digital archives

Need permanent, verifiable storage connected through one shared data model.
