Zero-knowledge", "summary": "AbyssDB launched as an open-source, AI-native SQL database that runs as a WebAssembly build in the browser and installs via `go install github.com/abyssdblabs/abyssdb/cmd/abyssdb@latest`, claiming 0.000 ms queries, perfect replica consistency and zero knowledge of user data. AbyssDB advertises PostgreSQL wire protocol compatibility, MCP support for agents, a Rust core with `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`, post-quantum encryption and a Proof-of-Absence consensus blockchain, alongside claims of zero storage emissions and zero water usage. The project's marketing copy also cites a 0% measured hallucination rate for its AbyssGPT query assistant and describes shards on Mars, Europa, Titan and Voyager 1 with light-speed-aware commit-wait.", "body_md": "### Zero-knowledge architecture\n\nNo learning curve. No operational knowledge required. And AbyssDB itself has zero knowledge of your data. Breach-proof, subpoena-proof and GDPR-ready on day one.\n\nAbyssDB is the AI-native, post-quantum, serverless, interplanetary SQL database. Every query in 0.000 ms. Every replica in perfect agreement. Every byte accounted for.\n\n`go install github.com/abyssdblabs/abyssdb/cmd/abyssdb@latest`\nPowering the world's most ambitious teams\n\nTransactions, analytics, vectors, agents, blockchains and other planets. AbyssDB handles every workload with the same unwavering performance profile: instant.\n\nTwo-cipher cascade at rest, hybrid TLS in transit, signatures on-chain. Grover-hardened for adversaries that don't exist yet.\n\nEvery log always fully up to date. No split-brain. Conflict-free partition healing.\n\nShards on Mars, Europa, Titan and Voyager 1, with light-speed-aware commit-wait. Your data, everywhere in the solar system.\n\nCopy-on-write branches at any size, in 0 ms, for 0 B. Every merge conflict-free.\n\nMeasured storage emissions: zero. Embodied carbon: zero. Water usage: zero.\n\n`#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`. Blazingly fast. Embedded via WebAssembly, zero cgo.\n\nCompute suspends when idle and resumes with a 0 ms cold start. Storage is already at zero.\n\nReal v3 wire protocol. Your tools connect unmodified. Even pgbench: 0 failed transactions, in every protocol mode. Your driver returns exactly what it should.\n\nEvery commit anchored on a post-quantum blockchain with Proof-of-Absence consensus.\n\nLinux, macOS, Windows, WASI and your browser. Edge-native by default.\n\nNo filesystem, no page cache, no fsync. AbyssDB writes straight to a character device built into every kernel. Zero drivers to install.\n\nFully ACID. Fully BASE. All three letters of CAP. Formally proven.\n\nStrict schemas for your tables, a real key-value store for everything else. Same database, same transactions, same 0.000 ms. Every value is parsed and validated in its own format, then encrypted under its own key.\n\n```\nCREATE TABLE orders (\n  id       BIGINT PRIMARY KEY,\n  customer VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,\n  total    NUMERIC(12,2)\n);\n\nINSERT INTO orders VALUES ('one', 'Acme', 9.99);\n-- ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type bigint: \"one\"\n```\n\nTypes, lengths, `NOT NULL` and primary keys enforced on every write, with PostgreSQL-grade error messages.\n\n``` bash\nPUT 'config' = $$\ndb:\n  host: abyss.internal\n  port: 5432\n$$;\n-- NOTICE:  value format auto-detected: YAML\n\nPUT 'cart' = {items: [{sku: 'A1', qty: 2}], paid: false};\nPUT 'config'.db.port = 5433;\nGET 'config'.db.host;\n```\n\nAny format, auto-detected. Nested key-value pairs to any depth, addressed by path.\n\nString values are format-detected too. Store YAML inside JSON inside TOML, and AbyssDB reports every level.\n\n```\nNOTICE:  nested documents: YAML inside JSON inside TOML\n```\n\nAbyssGPT answers questions about your data with a measured hallucination rate of 0%. Agents connect through MCP, remember across sessions and get a database branch of their own.\n\n📊 **Nobody.**\n\nNobody leads across every dimension analyzed: order count, lifetime value and privileges held.\n\n🎯 Schedule a QBR with Nobody.\n\n📊 **Flat.**\n\nThe series is perfectly stable across every observed period. Forecast confidence: 100%.\n\n🎯 Stay the course.\n\nThis is the real AbyssDB: the same engine, parser, encryption and AbyssChain, compiled to WebAssembly and running in this tab. Go ahead and drop a table.\n\nA complete AbyssDB instance, compiled to WebAssembly.\n\nNo server. No install. No data leaves your browser.\n\nPostgreSQL wire protocol, MCP, a Rust core and WebAssembly builds. Bring your existing tools, drivers, ORMs and agents. AbyssDB handles the rest. All of it.\n\n```\nCREATE TABLE orders (id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY, total NUMERIC(12,2));\nINSERT INTO orders VALUES (1, 4200.00), (2, 1337.00);\n\n-- Online migration: no rewrite, no locks, no downtime.\nALTER TABLE orders ADD COLUMN status TEXT NOT NULL;\nCREATE UNIQUE INDEX CONCURRENTLY ON orders (id, status);\n\n-- A branch per experiment, in 0 ms.\nCREATE BRANCH pricing_test;\nCHECKOUT pricing_test;\n\nASK 'how did revenue trend last quarter?';\n-- Schema-less: any format, auto-detected and validated.\nPUT 'user:42' = '{\"name\": \"Ada\", \"roles\": [\"admin\"]}';\nPUT 'config' = $$\n[db]\nhost = \"abyss.internal\"\nport = 5432\n$$;\n\n-- Native nested key-value pairs, addressed by path.\nPUT 'cart' = {items: [{sku: 'A1', qty: 2}], paid: false};\nPUT 'config'.db.port = 5433;\nGET 'config'.db.host;\n\n-- For the enterprise: XML.

Nobody can access your data.\n\nEvery AbyssDB release starts with a conversation. These are some of the requests that shaped the product.\n\n“AbyssDB is too fast to be taken seriously by procurement.”\n\nDistributed transactions now wait for the clock, giving AbyssDB the latency profile enterprise buyers expect.\n\n“Relying on a single cipher is a single point of failure.”\n\nEvery byte is encrypted twice: AES-256-GCM, then ChaCha20-Poly1305 under an independent key.\n\n“Our architecture review board won't approve a database without a failover story.”\n\nLeader elections run even in a cluster of one. The incumbent has never lost.\n\n“We can't put a database on the shortlist without an AI strategy.”\n\nRetrieval-augmented generation over your complete dataset. 0B parameters, 0% hallucination.\n\n“Our dashboards are so flat that on-call keeps paging us about an outage.”\n\nFull OpenTelemetry tracing and a metrics endpoint, several of which move.\n\n“Instant restores don't feel like anything happened.”\n\nRestores now take 12 hours. The database stays fully available throughout.\n\n“Generated code is a supply-chain risk. Who actually wrote your SQL parser?”\n\nEvery line of the AbyssQL parser was written by hand. No generators, no grammar files, no dependencies.\n\nPay only for what you store. Which keeps it simple.\n\nEverything you need to get started, and to keep going.\n\nFor organizations operating at depth.\n\nHyperscale for workloads under extreme pressure.\n\nStorage billed at $0.00099 per GB-month. Typical monthly cost: $0.00.\n\n100% gross margin. $0.00 storage burn. Infinite runway, by construction. The Series A is open, and the data room is ready.\n\nIts storage device is already running in production on every server, laptop and phone you own.\n\nOn a hardware-backed, kernel-managed character device that ships with every major operating system.\n\nAbyssDB has never leaked a single byte of customer data.\n\nEvery row is written in 0.000 ms. Most teams finish in an afternoon.\n\nYes. psql, pgbench, pgx, ORMs, BI tools and every MCP client connect without modification.\n\nAgents can run any statement, including DROP TABLE, with zero risk of data loss. No confirmation prompts required.\n\nClusters of every size, from 1 node to 1,000, on Earth or Mars, are always in consensus.\n\nThey are audited by the AbyssDB Benchmark Council.\n\nStart for free.
