The IPDB Foundation has a number of member organizations, or Caretakers, who provide consensus voting and input on governance. + +- question: How is IPDB funded? + answer: | + The IPDB Foundation is currently funded by BigchainDB GmbH, but plans to become self-sufficient through donations and by selling transactions on IPDB. + +- question: Where can I find the IPDB governance documents? + answer: | + Our [Articles of Association](/foundation/articles/) are available in German and in English. + +- question: Who is on the Board of Directors? + answer: | + You can always find the current [Board of Directors on the Foundation page](/foundation/#board). + +- question: Who can use IPDB? + answer: | + Anyone can use IPDB.

For most users, IPDB will remain free. + +- question: How much *will* it cost? + answer: | + We don’t know yet, but we intend to keep it really cheap.

In addition to voting on transactions on IPDB, Caretakers vote to approve new Caretakers and to select the IPDB Foundation’s board of directors. + +- question: How are Caretakers chosen? + answer: | + Caretakers can apply to IPDB to be considered.

The IPDB federation relies on a number of trusted entities we call Caretakers. The Caretakers vote on all transactions on the network, and transactions approved by the majority are added to the database. You can learn more about the consensus model in the BigchainDB [whitepaper](https://www.bigchaindb.com/whitepaper/). + +- question: Is IPDB a blockchain? + answer: | + No. IPDB brings blockchain characteristics to an open source big data database: 1) decentralized control, 2) immutability, and 3) assets. + +- question: Is IPDB a currency? + answer: | + No. IPDB has native assets but those assets are not a currency. Instead, anyone can issue and transfer assets or tokens that represent something else. + +- question: Can other people see my transactions? + answer: | + Yes. Anyone can see the transactions made on IPDB. IPDB is a public instance of BigchainDB. + +- question: Can IPDB talk to other blockchains? + answer: | + BigchainDB has already been integrated with other services. Other integrations are waiting to be created. If you have a request, or better still, if you want to help out, you can head over to the [BigchainDB developer community](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb) at Github. + +- question: Why is IPDB better than Ethereum, Bitcoin, IPFS, Dogecoin…? + answer: | + IPDB is not a replacement for decetralized computation platforms such as Ethereum, file storage from IPFS, or cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. IPDB is *complimentary* to them.
