   Hi @gokulsan, Thanks for your attention.
   
   Since I am not familiar with `OrbitDB`or `GunDB`, I am not sure whether my explanation is accurate. If I miss something, welcome your comment.
   
   Actually, the main aim of `Apache ShardingSphere` is to make the traditional DBMS like `MySQL`, `PostgreSQL`, `Oracle`, `SQLServer` has the scalability or turn them to `distributed databases`.
   Base on that, my answer is `NO`. Here is my explanation.
   
   1. SQL. I presume that traditional SQLs do not apply to `OrbitDB`or `GunDB`, right?  But SQL is the communication language between clients and ShardingSphere.
   2. Programing language or protocol. There are two products of `ShardingSphere` for you to choose. `ShardingProxy` is like an enhanced `MySQL` or `PostgreSQL` server, then the binary proposal is used for visiting. On the other hand, `ShardingJDBC` is a lightweight JAVA framework, hence JAVA language is required.
   3. I can not catch your thought. AFAIK, `Decentralised Databases` have the scalability or `distributed storage` already, so users do not need to care about `storage capacity` or `query efficiency`. So why do you want to use `ShardingSphere` for `Decentralised Databases`?
