# Welcome to Storedat!

### What is Storedat?

[**Storedat**](https://www.storedat.io) **is a GraphQL abstraction layer built on top of web3 storage providers like Arweave and Filecoin** to be able to provide a seamless and consistent experience when reading via a single api-key driven integration.  

### Mission

**Storedat's mission** is to **provide a better user experience for both web2 and web3 users wanting to take advantage of decentralized storage**. We want to make decentralized storage accessible to all so that anyone can use it without having to deal with its complexities. **No dealing with wallets, signing transactions, managing private keys, paying transaction costs, and so on**. Just plug in and Storedat.

**One API. One Integration. Web3 Storage made easy!** 

### Why does Storedat exist?

**We exist to accelerate the adoption of decentralized storage** by providing a **provider agnostic** way to read with those protocols all the while **abstracting away web3 from the user**. While we might start with Filecoin and Arweave today, our vision is to expand out and support more storage providers as well in the future. The **ultimate goal** is to have the **Storedat become the** **goto hub for anyone to plug and play with decentralized storage.**
