To achieve a seamless integration of all its services into a single active platform, Bulleon is kick starting the app development phase to give users ease of access to all the brand’s amazing services from the comfort of their homes, offices or on the go. With the Bulleon app, users can sync across devices and perform different activities on the system with real-time access to the crucial information they need.

Purpose of the Bulleon App

Among other things the Bulleon app serves the following purposes for users and the platform:

  • All-in-One Service: All Bulleon crypto services are offered in one unified UI
  • Security: All data is encrypted in the app before it is sent to the network
  • Privacy: Data presented in the app is cleaned from any form of personal information identifying patterns
  • Simplicity: Simple interface abstracts Bulleon network’s complexity for the everyday user.
  • Sell Functionality: Users can choose to selectively sell anonymized data to trusted entities in return for Bulleon tokens

Key Elements of App Development Phase

Mobile App UX Design: End users do not need to interact with complicated wallets because Bulleon provides a simple to use cross-platform mobile and web app with UI and UX that represents the best creativity in the business

Service Backend Development: Here we are developing API plugins, Bulleon engine optimization, and UI connectivity. This involves developing a Sidechain Support functionality (explorer and security) which allows users to inspect the blocks, transactions, and account balances of any sidechain. This will provide a consistent, transparent, and easy to access viewpoint of each sidechain to all users. This also involves implementing validated hashes of individual sidechain states, at configurable checkpoint intervals to ensure there is some basic validation of sidechain integrity, and provide payback to the parent network.

Smart Contract Support: Smart contracts are an interesting concept for many different use-cases, and we believe it would be extremely interesting to implement a smart contract VM natively into the Bulleon App SDK. In the future, Bulleon can decide which smart contract languages it wants to support, or if it can even develop JavaScript smart contracts on its own.

App Integration with other platforms: With this, Bulleon guarantees users an SSL-protected transaction environment so that they can rest easy about the safety of their funds and personal information.

The Bulleon App Models

The models for both web and mobile operating systems are explained below.

Mobile OS

The mobile-first approach is the mantra for tech and indeed most online businesses today. No organization can ignore the increasing use of mobile apps to engage their user and increase brand loyalty. As a result, Bulleon’s approach is to use the most pragmatic and cost-effective mobile app development model to achieve our goal. To this end, the team has decided to build on the React Native mobile app development model. Our preference for this is based on the following calculations:

  • It’s an All-in-One Cross Platform Model. This eliminates the hassles of having to write separately for Android, Windows and iOS apps on different platforms. With React Native we can write all of them in one place and save a huge chunk of time and budget.
  • Easier Transition from Web to Mobile: React Native functionality provides a smooth UI that makes it easier to transition into mobile development from a web background.
  • Powered by JavaScript — That’s one language to rule all.
  • Ability to quickly push updates directly to a published app — bypassing the app store review process and timeline.

Additionally, the number of top-level businesses (including Facebook, Walmart, Airbnb, etc.) who have leveraged on RN’s model also validates its usefulness, maturity, and stability.

Web OS

For the complete implementation of the project, it is critical to developing an exchange application that is web-based for the most optimal user experience. Like the mobile process, the web experience is optimized for both Windows and Mac operating systems using Electron software. The idea is to create a seamless cross-platform user experience on the Bulleon ecosystem with an embedded API via a backend service that both iOS and Android devices can use. This will allow for the creation of accounts, request for deposits and transfers, cryptocurrency to fiat exchange proxy APIs and management of bank accounts.
