Ingredients
Each one of our Network Partners can be used as an ingredient in a recipe.
An Ingredient is an official W3.io off-chain compute partner who has made their specialized capabilities available via the W3.io platform for inclusion in recipes and solutions. These ingredients form the building blocks of complex business processes, providing specialized functions ranging from AI computation to data storage and verification.
What Ingredients Provide
Ingredients represent specific tasks or operations that can be executed as part of a recipe. They are modular, reusable components that can:
Execute functions such as accessing databases, performing calculations, or interacting with blockchains.
Add or modify variables within a recipe's variable pool to maintain state.
Generate verifiable logs for integrity and traceability.
Be simple (performing a single task) or compound (consisting of multiple sub-ingredients).
Becoming an Ingredient Partner
Projects looking to become W3.io ingredients should:
Offer a decentralized solution that fills a specific need within the web3 ecosystem.
Provide robust APIs or integration points that can be utilized by our Knights network.
Commit to maintaining service quality and reliability.
Work collaboratively with W3.io to ensure their solution integrates effectively.
W3.io does not charge partners for participation in our network. Rather, we focus on creating mutual value through ecosystem development and increased exposure.
Benefits for Developers
By utilizing W3.io ingredients, developers can:
Access specialized capabilities without managing individual relationships with numerous providers.
Reduce integration complexity through our standardized interface.
Build complex solutions from verified, reliable components.
Benefit from W3.io's unified payment system rather than juggling multiple payment mechanisms.
Leverage the collective expertise of our carefully selected network partners.
Build end-to-end solutions faster!
Benefits for Ingredient Partners
As an ingredient in the W3.io ecosystem, partners gain:
Expanded exposure to new customers through the W3.io platform.
Additional revenue streams from usage within recipes and solutions.
Collaborative opportunities with complementary network partners.
Simplified customer acquisition through W3.io's unified platform.
Technical Architecture
Ingredients are modular, reusable components that represent specific tasks:
Database queries, AI inference, blockchain transactions, identity verification
Each ingredient generates verifiable logs and maintains recipe state
Can be simple (single task) or compound (multiple sub-ingredients)
Special Trigger Ingredients serve as entry points to recipes:
Schedule-based triggers (time elapsed)
Blockchain event triggers (transaction occurred)
API call triggers (external system notification)
Email receipt triggers (message received)
