Lifetimes Ahead: The Dragonchain Architectural Advantage

A Dragonchain Telegram user recently asked Joe Roets, “How much of a time advantage does Dragonchain, a blockchain solution with architecture designed in 2016, have?” His humble reply: lifetimes.

You may already know the chops of our CEO within the blockchain space. Having led or contributed to major projects in the industry since 2010, such as Overstock, Coinbase, Symbiont, and the Walt Disney Company, and over 20 years of experience in software architecture focused on security and scalability, Joe is second to none. It is this ideal combination: an undeniable passion for the technology, the dream that “all humans are welcome”, and an abundance of business experience, that make Joe and Dragonchain far from an underdog in the industry, but the Pacific Northwest’s new “Seattle Slew”.

Dragonchain can meet the needs of any company considering the adoption of this disruptive technology and can address any question or concern that they may have. We offer enterprise a serverless system, established language support for smart contracts, scalability, security and protection of business data, and advanced currency implementations; and this is by no means an exhaustive list. (Read more about the Dragonchain architecture here.)

We are confident these features will lead to lower development cost, given the ability to use existing development languages, a faster speed to market, significantly higher levels of security, and greater scalability. Dragonchain is a true, enterprise-grade, Blockchain as a Service (BaaS); designed by a visionary who understands the needs of Fortune 10 companies and the latent potential of blockchain itself. We know why this technology works and we know its capabilities.

Our solution exists now to support your blockchain dream.

With Dragonchain Version 1.0 launched, we have no doubt that we have a product with a competitive edge that will endure. As a US-based company and an executive member of the Digital Chamber of Commerce (the world’s leading trade association representing the digital asset and blockchain industry), we have assessed the risks involved. We know the potential size of disruption of this new protocol of value.
