We came to realize that a distributed database perspective brought a lot to the table, not only for scalability but also for other key database functionality: a flexible query language, efficient querying, and a permissioning system.

BigchainDB complements Ethereum smart contracts, blockchain platforms such as Eris, Chain, BlockApps and Enigma, and file systems like IPFS to allow a clear separation between decentralized processing and storage for transactions, contracts and media files.

BigchainDB fills a gap in the decentralization ecosystem: a decentralized database, at scale. It is complementary to decentralized processing platforms like Ethereum, and decentralized file systems like InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).
