Blockchain Application Development 101
April 10, 2018
Blockchain, in its most simplified definition, is a shared ledger for recording the history of transactions that cannot be altered. A blockchain is a ledger of records arranged in data batches called blocks that use cryptographic validation to link themselves together. Put simply, each block references and identifies the previous block by a hashing function, forming an unbroken chain, hence the name.
But what does all this mean? Join Glenn Jones, Global Product and R&D Executive with Sweetbridge, Inc, and Synerzip as we explore the following:
- What are the common characteristics of business problems that lend themselves well for blockchain use?
- What does appropriate modeling real world business problems on blockchain solution architecture look like?
- What is the role of various blockchain constructs:
- Smart contracts
- Distributed ledger
- Cryptocurrency?
- How do you pick the right blockchain technology platform? Do you use Hyperledger or Ethereum or Nuco or something else?
- And lastly, understand the “off-chain” vs. “on-chain” development team.
