OriginTrail technology is a set of tools and protocols evolving as the semantic layer for Web3, built on the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG). Its function is to empower developers and system integrators utilizing decentralized knowledge exchange supported by emerging standards and DLT networks.

The DKG enables you to:

• Easily discover, query and integrate datasets from multiple sources
• Securely share semantic data (knowledge) across systems and dapps
• Monetize your APIs and data, using fungible and non-fungible tokens (knowledge tokens)
• Easily build custom verifiable data pipelines
• Integrate with existing SSI & blockchain tooling

This documentation is structured in 4 sections:

• Introduction to OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph - we recommend starting here
• For developers: how to use the DKG as a Dapp builder
• For node operators: how to host the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph by running nodes
• Generally useful resources section

Note: This site is primarily built for developers and OriginTrail network node runners - if you are looking to learn more about the OriginTrail ecosystem, please visit the official website.
