This document provides an overview of blockchain technology and its history. It discusses how blockchain emerged from concepts developed in the early 1990s, and how Bitcoin launched in 2009 helped popularize the use of blockchain. The document then defines blockchain as a distributed ledger of transactions shared across a network of computers, and explains how blockchain works using private/public key cryptography and a distributed network to validate transactions. It also covers different types of consensus protocols like proof-of-work, proof-of-stake, and Byzantine fault tolerance. Finally, it discusses applications of blockchain like smart contracts and supply chain audits.
The use cases for blockchain in healthcare will start in small projects that reduce duplicative work but can eventually shift to a system where patients control access rights to their data.
A presentation explaining the concepts of Blockchain. It covers the introduction to blockchain, types of blockchain, process of adding blocks in bitcoin blockchain, hyperledger block structure, use cases of blockchain explained.
Chatbots are used worldwide by consumers to industries for various requirements. Chatbots can perform basic functions for individuals to complex operations for organisations. Chatbots are either voice automated or use text as a means to communicate. Chatbots are becoming more popular today because it provides its consumer base a better experience and in turn meets their expectations.

A block in a blockchain refers to a collection of data. A blockchain is immutable as it is impossible to change data once it is added to the blockchain. The blocks are linked to form a chain and this is what makes a blockchain so trustworthy. It is this decentralized nature of blockchain, which makes doctors, patients, and healthcare providers to gain access to the same information quickly and safely.
The Soft Skills of Great Software DevelopersTechWell
Are you creating clean, high performing code? Are you following the right development practices, but still don’t feel you are getting the recognition or success you deserve? The truth is that working harder and improving your programming skills are not enough. Great developers must demonstrate the human skills—developer practices—necessary to have a strong impact on their organizations. Through conversation and examples, Raul Suarez focuses on behaviors that can help you reach your full potential. He discusses ways to optimize communication, provide and handle feedback, adapt to change, navigate politics, use your time effectively, and raise your profile. Don't remain stuck in your career, waiting for someone to notice you. Take control!

What will the Web3 Data Economy look like?
The shadow money economy (closed, power concentrated) moved to the token economy (open, permissionless). It has a base layer of reserve currency / store of value (BTC), unit of exchange (ETH) and token / app launch platform (Ethereum). And there are financial & utility last miles, like wallets, exchanges, and dapps.
We envision similar for the data economy. The shadow data economy (closed, power concentrated) will move to the Web3 data economy (open, permissionless). It will have a base layer of reserve currency / store of value, a unit of exchange, and data asset launch platform. Ocean Protocol's design provides all of these as a substrate, with artificial intelligence use cases as the linchpin. Finally, just like the token economy there are financial & utility last miles, like data wallets, data exchanges, and data science tools using Ocean tokens.

Blockchain Digital Transformation Presentation101 Blockchains
Blockchain is transforming the world around us. And, there is no doubt that it is going to change how we interact with each other. In this powerpoint presentation, we will be looking at blockchain digital transformation. The blockchain powerpoint presentation is aimed at both new and experienced learners. If you are looking for the ultimate digital transformation blockchain ppt, you have come to the right place.
The blockchain ppt covers all the necessary things that a beginner should know about digital transformation, but also ensure that it covers more exciting topics related to the topic. For example, the second blockchain powerpoint slide covers the subject, “Public vs. Private.” This is essential to understanding the fundamental need for a decentralized network, i.e., blockchain. We also include the key features that power the digital world through blockchain.
Blockchain is, as The Economist (2015) calls it, "a trust machine".
To let the readers understand the need for blockchain and its improvement over the year, we have also covered the history of blockchain transformation. The history of blockchain is vibrant including the release of permissioned frameworks such as HyperLedger and R3. Other distributed ledger technology also flourished from 2009 to 2019. We have covered most of the important ones in the blockchain ppt.
Different use cases along with their implementation challenges have also been covered to give you a glimpse of how the current blockchain technology is shaping and impacting other industries out there.
Another important thing that we covered includes how non-financial enterprises are adopting blockchain. There are companies such as Ford and Toyota that are working round the clock to implement blockchain in their smart mobility solutions. Even insurance giants like Prudential and Metlife are automating a lot of the insurance processes using blockchain. To power these financial and non-financial institutions, federated networks are been used. They are permissioned frameworks that empower business and ensure that they get all the tools to make a blockchain network according to their needs and requirements.
The enterprise blockchain ecosystem is also strong, thanks to the players such as Ethereum, Hyperledger, and Corda. Hundreds of enterprises are utilizing Hyperledger. Two key examples include the T-Mobile and London Stock Exchange Group.
Apart from the big enterprises, the healthcare industry also seems to be interested in the blockchain. They are using it to save lives and improve the state of the healthcare industry.

BASIC INTRODUCTION TO BLOCKCHAIN - JOEL SUMANTH RAJ.pdfJOELCONTACTS
Blockchain Technology is a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network. An asset can be tangible (a house, car, cash, land) or intangible (intellectual property, documents, contracts, patents, copyrights, branding).
How does the Blockchain Work?
A blockchain is a distributed, peer-to-peer database that hosts a continuously growing number of transactions. Each transaction, referred to as a “block,” is secured through cryptography, timestamped, and validated by every authorized member of the database using consensus algorithms (i.e., a set of rules). A transaction that is not validated by all members of the database is not added to the database. Every transaction is attached to the previous transaction in sequential order, creating a chain of transactions (or blocks). A transaction cannot be deleted or edited, thereby creating an immutable audit trial. A transaction can only be changed by adding another transaction to the chain.

Blockchain, Blockchain Platform, Private and a Public Blockchain?dipankarmondal42
Blockchain does not store any of its information in a central location. Instead, the blockchain is copied and spread across a network of computers. Whenever a new block is added to the blockchain, every computer on the network updates its blockchain to reflect the change. By spreading that information across a network, rather than storing it in one central database, blockchain becomes more difficult to tamper with. If a copy of the blockchain fell into the hands of a hacker, only a single copy of the information, rather than the entire network, would be compromised

RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren.

www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Blockchain Technology Explained
leewayhertz.com/blockchain-technology-explained/
You must have heard about the term “blockchain,” in reference to Bitcoin and other
cryptocurrencies. Many people believe Bitcoin is Blockchain; however, blockchain is a
technology that underlies digital currencies.
If you are new to blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, this article will help you
understand the technology in more depth.
Let’s start with the history of blockchain and understand how blockchain emerged and
how it is different from other technologies.
In this article, we shall discuss the following topics:
History of Blockchain Technology
What is Blockchain?
How does Blockchain work?
Types of consensus protocols
Applications of Blockchain Technology
Types of Blockchain Platforms
History of Blockchain Technology
It seems unbelievable, but people started to think about the blockchain as a new internet
era back in 1991. W.Scott Stornetta and Stuart Haber imagined the technology that
people call blockchain today. They initiated working on cryptographically secured blocks
in a chain that no one could tamper with timestamps.
2. 2/14
These guys upgraded the system and incorporated Merkle trees to enhance efficiency
and collect various documents on a single block. But the technology started to gain
importance in 2008 when an unknown person or group named Satoshi Nakamoto
introduced the blockchain again.
Satoshi published a whitepaper titled “Bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.”
The document defines how to create a secure and transparent digital currency without a
central entity or bank’s involvement.
Though the document did not contain the term “blockchain,” it outlined the way blockchain
technology works. Satoshi launched Bitcoin in January 2009, but he left the project after
some time and handed over the Bitcoin development to other developers.
Since then, developers have started to build a new peer-to-peer currency that does not
involve central entities. The world’s first cryptocurrency exchange, Bitcoin Market, was set
up in 2010 and the Bitcoin Pizza Guy, Lazlo Hanyecz, made the first real payment in BTC.
If someone asks when blockchain was invented, we can say it was founded in 1991.
What is Blockchain?
4. 4/14
According to the authors of “Blockchain Revolution,” Don & Alex Tapscott, “The
blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be
programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of
value.”
Blockchain is neither a company nor software; it is a new and innovative way of
documenting information on the internet. A blockchain is a chain of time-stamped blocks
that contain an immutable record of data and is managed by a cluster of nodes, not by
any single authority.
Every block of data is secured and linked to each other with cryptography principles.
Let’s discuss the blocks in more depth.
Blocks
A block can be considered as a page in the ledger. Each block comprises data,
timestamp, a hash of the block and a hash of the previous block.
The data saved in a block depends on the type of blockchain. For instance, blocks in the
Bitcoin blockchain store the details about a transaction like a sender, receiver and
balance in the form of number of coins.
Hash of the block acts as a fingerprint as it gives a unique identification to the blocks and
the contents it includes. All transactions in a block are represented as a hash.
Hash of a previous block is always added to a new block to maintain chronology and
ensure that blocks are valid. A timestamp includes the time when the block was created
to keep track of the block’s creation and updation time.
A new block should always point to the previous block. In case a block added to the chain
does not contain the valid hash value of the last block, it means the block has been
tampered with.
5. 5/14
Altering any block within the network would make all the blocks invalid in the blockchain.
Hashing mechanism is not enough to protect the blockchain from tampering or
manipulation. As computers are fast nowadays, hackers can quickly recalculate hash
values of the blocks and invalidate them.
To ensure that there is no single entity controlling the network’s information, the blocks
get distributed across all machines, specifically called nodes on the network.
Every node keeps a copy on the ledger so that data is never lost and remains accessible
to all members present on the network. When some information is added to the
blockchain, all nodes agree if the data is valid.
Now the question is, how do nodes agree on adding new blocks to the blockchain.
The answer is a consensus algorithm.
Since there are different blockchain platforms available, different consensus algorithms
are used to agree if a block should be added to the blockchain or not.
Now, let’s understand how does blockchain technology work.
How does Blockchain work?
Blockchain works on the following concepts:
Private Key Cryptography
Distributed Network with a Shared Ledger
An incentive to service the network’s transactions, security and record-keeping
Private Key Cryptography
If two people want to transact over the internet, every one of them should hold a private
and public key. The blockchain uses this concept to ensure a secure digital identity of the
users.
The combination of private and public keys can be viewed as a type of consent by
creating a unique digital signature. Holding public and private key offers reliable control of
ownership to the users.
However, cryptography is not enough to protect digital relationships. It should be
combined with authorization (a means of validating permissions and transactions).
In the case of blockchain, authorization is done via a distributed network.
Distributed Network with a shared ledger
6. 6/14
The benefit of a distributed network can be explained by the example “trees were cut
down.” We could be sure about cutting down the trees in the forest if there were cameras
to record that incident. Though the particulars (why and how) behind the event can be
unclear, we have visual evidence that it happened.
Similarly, in the case of blockchain, validators on the network are like cameras who reach
a consensus that they noticed the same thing happening simultaneously. However, they
use mathematical verification of computation instead of cameras.
A node on the network starts a transaction by creating it and signing it with its private key.
Transactions comprise the logic of transfer of value, source and destination addresses,
rules and validation information.
The next step is that the transaction must be verified. A network of computers on the
blockchain verifies the transactions to be stored in a block. Once they confirm that the
transaction happened, they add it to the block.
Block containing the information, digital signature and timestamp, is broadcast to all the
nodes in the network to provide them accessibility at all times.
Once written to the blockchain, the data cannot be edited or deleted, making it an
incorruptible ledger of transactions.
Following are the different types of consensus protocols used for
validating transactions on the blockchain
Proof of Work
Proof of Work is a consensus protocol that aims to deter cyber attacks like distributed
denial of service attacks, exhausting a computer system’s resources with multiple fake
requests.
The proof of work was introduced when Bitcoin came into existence. But this term was
coined by Ari Juels and Markus Jakobsson in a published document in 1999.
It is a way to define an expensive and cumbersome computer calculation called mining.
Mining is performed to create a group of trustless transactions on a distributed ledger,
blockchain.
Mining is used for the following functions:
Verifying the transactions’ legitimacy or ignoring double-spending
Creating digital currencies by giving rewards to miners for performing previous tasks
The node that finds the mathematical power solution can only authorize transactions and
add new blocks to the blockchain network. Proof of work consensus prevents tampering
of the blocks as one needs to re-evaluate the computer computation for all blocks in the
7. 7/14
network.
Proof of Stake
Proof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus algorithm to achieve distributed consensus and
validate transactions. Suggested initially in 2011, it was first implemented by
cryptocurrency, Peercoin, in 2012. The algorithm is energy efficient and secure.
In proof of work consensus algorithm, miners who solve mathematical problems are
rewarded for creating new blocks and validating transactions. However, with the proof of
stake algorithm, the next block’s creator is selected randomly, depending on how much
wealth (cryptocurrencies) the user holds or for how long the user has been keeping that
specific digital currency.
Proof of stake requires considerably less energy and therefore, it is cost-effective
compared to the proof of work algorithm. Moreover, there is less need to release too
many coins to incentivize miners to manage the network.
The algorithm is helpful in inspiring individuals to participate in the system and protecting
the network from any individual who wants to control it. An individual or a group of
individuals has to own the majority of coins to carry out a 51% attack on the network.
First of all, it would be expensive for attackers to acquire enough coins. Individuals would
exit the digital currency if a single party started buying everything. Also, the price would
ramp up to prevent a hostile takeover. Moreover, attacking the network would decrease
the coins’ value that the attacker is holding.
Proof of stake algorithm also has a drawback and faces a “nothing at stake” problem. The
challenge occurs when block generators don’t have anything to lose by preventing the
conflict from resolving and supporting changing blockchain histories.
Delegated Proof of Stake
Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) is a type of consensus algorithm that aims to secure a
blockchain by enhancing the speed of block creation and transactions while not affecting
the decentralized incentive structure.
Users have to put their currency at stake with the proof of stake consensus mechanism to
earn the right to authorize transactions, earn rewards and forge blocks. On the other
hand, Delegated Proof of Stake Consensus, a variation of PoS, aims to achieve
consensus efficiently.
DPoS uses the election process to maintain the consensus. Users of DPoS based
blockchain vote to choose witnesses and earn more votes to validate transactions on the
network. Users can also pass on their voting power to other users whom they can trust to
vote on their behalf.
8. 8/14
Votes are evaluated based on the size of the voter’s stake. It means that users do not
require a significant stake in getting into the top tier of witnesses. Instead, votes from
users with a considerable stake can select users with a small stake for the witnesses’ top
tier.
The number of witnesses required in the top tier is capped at a specific number who need
to create blocks, validate transactions and are awarded the associated fees.
Witnesses cannot modify the details of transactions, yet they can prevent certain
transactions from being included in a new block. Therefore, they are similar to that of the
miners in a proof of work system.
Users in DPoS consensus-based network can also vote for a group of delegates, trusted
parties for managing the network. The representatives look after the blockchain protocol’s
performance and governance but do not validate transactions and create blocks.
Leased Proof of Stake
Another addition to the original Proof of Stake is the Leased Proof of Stake. The Waves
platform introduced this new consensus algorithm that offers a better catch with a limited
amount of power consumption. The original proof of stake never allowed individuals with
limited coins to participate in staking.
In the Leased Proof of Stake algorithm, the smallholders can also participate in the
staking process by leasing their coins to the network and avail the benefit. The situation
changed drastically after the introduction of leased PoS.
Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET)
PoET is one of the efficient consensus algorithms used on the permissioned blockchain
where you need permission to access the network.
Proof of Elapsed Time algorithm uses a specific technique to cover transparency in the
whole network and ensures a secure login. Every individual on the network waits for a
particular amount of time, but that time limit is random. An individual who finishes their
share of waiting time can get on the ledger for creating a new block.
Now, the question is whether individuals wait for the specific time they were assigned or
not. The algorithm depends on a CPU requirement called Intel Software Guard Extension.
The Intel Software Guard Extension is responsible for running unique codes on the
network. By using this system, PoET ensures that the winning is purely fair.
Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT)
The Byzantine Generals Problem was introduced in 1982 by Lamport, Pease and
Shostak to ensure that malfunctioned components giving conflict information are
managed within a system.
9. 9/14
BFT manages different types of faults related to the Byzantine General’s Problem. The
algorithm states that two nodes on the network can interact securely across the network,
knowing that they display the same data.
In a peer-to-peer network, the consensus is reached if non-faulty or loyal nodes achieve a
uniform agreement on their decision. In BFT, an incoming message is repeatedly sent to
the other recipients of that message. All the nodes assume that repeating a message
eliminates the issue of Byzantine nodes.
Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT)
Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance usually focuses on the state machine. It gets rid of
the Byzantine general problem by replicating the system. The algorithm starts with
assuming that independent nodes can malfunction the network and possible failures in
the system.
Also, all the nodes are arranged in a particular order. In PBFT, one node is selected as
the primary node, while others serve as a backup plan. All the nodes in the system work
uniformly and interact with each other.
In the PBFT consensus mechanism, every node wants to verify information found on the
network, thereby avoiding unreliable information problems.
However, they can find out even if one of the nodes gets compromised and all nodes
reach an agreement with majority voting.
Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (DBFT)
Though the blockchain ecosystem usually follows the widely known consensus
algorithms, Proof of Work and Proof of Stake, some try to impose advanced consensus
systems. NEO is one of the popular blockchain platforms that has developed a new
consensus protocol, Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance, similar to the DPoS.
Every user on the NEO blockchain can select delegates who represent their interests.
Users holding the native cryptocurrency have a specific interest in the platform.
It works similar to a country’s government that has citizens, speakers and delegates.
Citizens imply NEO tokens holders, delegates imply bookkeeping nodes, while the
speaker is one of the randomly chosen delegates.
Citizens vote for delegates where every citizen can vote regardless of the tokens they
hold. One of the delegates is selected randomly to become a speaker. The role of
delegates is to listen to citizens’ demands, which are the different transactions that
occurred on the network.
Delegates keep a tab on all transactions and record them on a ledger. The speaker who
is randomly chosen proposes their block to verify a block. They send the block to all other
delegates so that delegates could match their block with the speaker’s block and ensure
validity.
10. 10/14
2/3 of the delegates have to agree upon the block proposed by the speaker before it is
validated and added to the network. In case 2/3 of the delegates do not agree, a new
speaker is chosen and the whole procedure repeats.
Simplified Byzantine Fault Tolerance (SBFT)
The simplified Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus algorithm works in a bit different way.
In this mechanism, a block generator first collects all the transactions and authorizes
them after batching them together in a new block.
All the network nodes have to follow specific rules applied by the block generator to
validate transactions. Once the generator applies the rules, a block signer confirms them
and adds their signature to it. Transactions get rejected if any of the blocks miss one of
the keys.
Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (ABFT)
Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus mechanism represents the system’s
ability to keep honest consensus in the network despite propagating invalid messages or
malicious nodes failing.
Deterministic Byzantine cannot be asynchronous ultimately with unbounded message
delays, yet guarantee consensus using FLP theorem. However, non-deterministic
systems can reach an agreement with probability one.
Once we have understood different types of consensus algorithms, it’s time to discuss
some of the blockchain platforms used to build blockchain apps with ease.
Applications of Blockchain Technology
Smart Contracts
A smart contract is a computer code that executes automatically when specific
conditions are met. Ethereum blockchain platform is an open-source project that
was developed specifically to introduce smart contracts. Unlike traditional contracts,
smart contracts do not depend on any third-party or intermediary to bring trust.
Instead, smart contracts are coded as the agreement between two or more parties.
Since smart contracts are based on a decentralized system between all authorized
parties, you don’t need to pay intermediaries, thereby saving time and conflicts.
Settlements in various business processes can be made automatically and quickly
with smart contracts on the blockchain.
11. 11/14
Sharing Economy
Companies like Airbnb and Uber are growing at a rapid pace and therefore, the
concept of sharing economy has marked a success. However, users have to
depend on an intermediary or centralized authority like Uber to access ride-sharing
services. With peer-to-peer payments, the blockchain represents an opportunity to
enable direct interaction between parties. Startups like SnagRide and BeeToken are
becoming blockchain’s Uber and Airbnb, respectively. These platforms allow users
to connect directly with each other instead of a centralized authority or third-party. It
allows you to transact without any transaction fees.
Supply Chain Audits
Socially-active consumers nowadays want to know that claims companies make
about their products are real. Distributed ledgers offer an easy and quick way to
backtrace the products within the supply chain in real-time at all locations.
Blockchain-based timestamping of a date and location brings transparency to the
supply chain ecosystem. For instance, there is a UK-based Provenance that
provides supply chain audit services for consumer goods. The provenance project
built on the Ethereum blockchain ensures that Indonesia’s suppliers have harvested
fish sold in Japanese Sushi restaurants.
Intellectual Property Protection
Digital information can be distributed and reproduced quickly using the internet. As
a result, it has given web users a goldmine of freely available content. Copyright
holders currently lose control over their intellectual property, thereby facing financial
loss.Smart contracts come as a solution as they can protect copyrights and
automate content sales, eliminating the risk of redistribution.
For example, Mycelia uses blockchain smart contracts to build a peer-to-peer music
distribution system that allows musicians to sell their songs directly to audiences
and producers’ license samples. Also, the platform enables users to make
payments in fractional cryptocurrency amounts.
Identity Management
Everyone nowadays performs various tasks on the internet ranging from shopping
to sending payment online and communicating with people on social media
channels. All such tasks require a digital identity and with increasing online
interactions, data loss and thefts are emerging day by day.Every time a person
enters their personal information on digital platforms, it gets stored on various
unknown databases on the internet. Their information is shared without even their
consent. However, blockchain can overcome such challenges by eliminating central
authorities’ need and giving control over the digital identity to individuals.
Sharing multiple IDs for different purposes can lead to data breaches and privacy
concerns. Blockchain provides the path to self-sovereign identity on a decentralized
network that assures identity documents are verified and endorsed by permissioned
participants on the network. It offers the control of digital identity in identity owners’
hands instead of third-party companies or intermediaries.
12. 12/14
Here are some of the popular blockchain platforms used to
develop blockchain applications
Ethereum
Ethereum is an open-source blockchain platform used for running smart contracts on a
custom blockchain. It comes with an Ethereum Virtual Machine that offers the run-time
environment to Ethereum based smart contracts. Each node on the network runs an EVM
implementation. Ethereum is a public blockchain platform developed to provide restricted
access versus mass consumption. The current version of Ethereum uses the Proof of
Work consensus algorithm; however, it might change to the Proof of Stake algorithm in
the ETH 2.0 version.
It has a native cryptocurrency called Ether, used to fuel the entire Ethereum ecosystem. A
developer building the apps on Ethereum needs to pay fees in Ether to execute
transactions and run apps on the network.
EOS
EOS is the robust blockchain architecture designed to offer vertical and horizontal scaling
of dApps. EOS platform provides authentication, asynchronous communication, accounts,
databases and application scheduling across multiple CPU clusters/cores.EOS
blockchain platform can scale to millions of transactions in a second, allow quick
deployment of dApps and eliminate user fees. It enables parties looking to launch
blockchain apps to determine the permissions. As a result, developers can create both
private and public blockchains using the EOS platform.
Stellar
Stellar is an open-source distributed payment ledger that can connect payment systems,
banks and people. It allows developers to build banking tools, mobile wallets and
anything that involves payments. With the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), the
consensus can be achieved without relying on a closed system to record financial
transactions. By pausing the network’s progress until an agreement is reached, SCP
optimizes for safety over liveness.
Hyperledger Sawtooth
Hyperledger Sawtooth is a blockchain platform for enterprises designed to build
distributed ledger networks and applications.
By separating the core system from the app domain, Hyperledger Sawtooth streamlines
the blockchain app development. It allows developers to specify the business rules of the
applications in the language of their choice.
13. 13/14
The platform is highly modular and allows applications to select the permissioning,
consensus algorithms and transaction rules according to the unique business needs.
Hyperledger Fabric
Hyperledger Fabric is a distributed ledger platform supported by a modular architecture to
deliver high degrees of scalability, resiliency, confidentiality and flexibility. Unlike an open,
permissionless system that allows unauthorized identities to partake in the network,
Hyperledger Fabric is private and permissioned. It enrolls participants of the network
through a trusted Membership Service Provider (MSP).
Hedera Hashgraph
Hedera Hashgraph is a lightning-fast, secure and fair platform that provides a new type of
distributed consensus. Built on the hashgraph distributed consensus algorithm, the
platform can process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second in a single
shared. As a result, its consensus latency is measured in seconds.
Using asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance, the platform is resilient to DDoS attacks
against the consensus algorithm and achieves a high-security level at scale.
Smart contracts on the Hedera Network offer an optional mechanism called “binding
arbitration.” This mechanism states that the smart contracts deployed with a list of public-
key arbitrators can be updated to add new features and fix bugs/issues.
Once the designated arbitrator agrees on smart contracts updation, the arbitrator’s keys
approve the transaction with a new bytecode and the change is reflected.
At LeewayHertz, we have a workforce of blockchain developers helping businesses
become transparent yet secure with blockchain technology.
