Welcome to the Tarobase Documentation!

Tarobase is a Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform designed to make Web3 development as effortless as building with Firebase. It uniquely integrates both onchain (blockchain) and offchain data operations, providing developers with a unified API and SDK for creating scalable, secure, and decentralized applications.

Why Tarobase?​

  • Simplify Blockchain Development: Tarobase removes the complexities of blockchain integration, allowing you to focus on building great applications.
  • Unified Development Experience: Use the same methods and interfaces for both onchain and offchain operations.
  • Accelerate Time-to-Market: Leverage Tarobase's real-time data operations and flexible storage to build and deploy applications faster.
  • Enhance Security and Compliance: Implement robust access controls and policies to secure your data and operations.

Key Features​

Policy-Based Access Control​

  • Custom Policies: Define granular access and write rules for specific data paths and key structures.
  • Policy Compilation: Tarobase compiles your custom policies to enforce data access and modification rules, similar to Firebase Realtime Database's security rules.
  • Onchain and Offchain Enforcement: Policies determine whether operations are handled onchain via smart contracts or offchain through Tarobase's backend, ensuring consistent security across environments.

Unified SDK for Onchain and Offchain Actions​

  • Consistency: Simplify development with a single SDK that handles both onchain and offchain data operations.
  • Data Aggregation: Access a unified view of your data as Tarobase aggregates onchain and offchain data into a single database.
