# Welcome to Proxima Proxima provides real-time data from the blockchain in the form of composable streams and data APIs with the ability (in the future) to quickly verify the data without trust in our services. ### Problems with Web 3 * *Network isolation (data cannot be used outside of blockchain)* * *Data inconsistency because of block forks (rollbacks)* * *Problems with the uptime of nodes* * *Lack of accessible and useable application-specific data* * *Non-feasible price for complex on-chain computations* ### Benefits of using Proxima Our platform features different benefits for gaining data: * *Real-time data with low latency* * *Generalized models for multi-chain access* * *Data consistency* * *Scalable infrastructure* ### Use cases Streams and built-in APIs can be used in various ways: quant trading, blockchain analytics, wallet integration, fetching application-specific data, and much more! ### Components Solutions provided by Proxima can be divided into separate yet related parts: * [Streaming platform](https://docs.proxima.one/proxima/streams) — services providing real-time streams with application-specific data; * [Data APIs](https://docs.proxima.one/proxima/data-apis/apis) that are based on those streams and allow fast access to aggregated data; * [Maru](https://docs.proxima.one/proxima/maru) — a component providing ZK-proofs of data correctness. ### Something is missing?
