Welcome to Explore Data

Explore Data is Carbon Arc’s catalog containing data docs from partners like Initial Data Offerings (IDO) — a place to browse, evaluate, and request access to new data assets. Think of it as the discovery layer for datasets available through the platform.

Explore Data catalog

The left panel lets you narrow results across several dimensions. All filters are multi-select and show result counts.

Source

Currently always set to “Initial Data Offering,” indicating you are browsing IDO assets.

Ecosystem

Groups datasets by category (Financial, Consumer, etc.). Select one or multiple ecosystems to refine the view.

Tier

Filter datasets by tier level. Multiple tiers can be selected at once.

Status

Filter by visibility or availability status (public, private, etc.).

Access Type

Filter specifically for Premium or Early Access datasets.

Each filter section can be collapsed or expanded to keep the UI clean.

The sticky controls bar above the results lets you manage how datasets are displayed.
