Blockchain is reshaping enterprise software development
Blockchain is almost synonymous with Bitcoin and virtual currency. But Blockchain is only the technology behind virtual currencies and it has multiple applications in a series of industries.
From banking to logistics and healthcare, Blockchain opens new horizons for enterprises in all sectors. It also seems to help software development enterprises create better and better products Below are only some of the ways Blockchain is reshaping the software development industry.
Establishes New Software Development Standards
Blockchain helps software development companies use smart contracts and this allows users to store, execute, and use codes in Blockchain. Blockchain establishes new foundations for identity, privacy, and processing protocols, improving the capabilities of software development companies. New projects carried by software development companies have the incredible potential of replacing traditional processing, storing, and computing with blocks of chain.
Technologies behind crypto like Ethereum allow the use in both private and public mode. This enables enterprise to create friendly programming languages and develop smarter solutions to ensure growth and higher profit margins.
Transparent Databases
Business data integration has never been easier than today, thanks to Blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is using decentralized databases and allows easy access from everywhere, regardless of device type or operating system. This sort of database is more secure and transparent than those existing until today. While users can access and view data, they are unable to alter it. This offers increased data security and integrity. The major beneficiaries in this regard are companies where sensitive data is handled and processed.
While many companies might fear that higher levels of transparency pose greater risks of altering data, Blockchain technology is preventing such scenarios from appearing.
Blockchain technology also eliminates third-party providers and “middlemen”.
Empowers Small-Scale Enterprises
Freelance software developers and small enterprises in the field usually have to deal with third-party portals to find and complete projects. Blockchain technology eliminates the need for such portals and allows even small players to find new clients and ensure their payments are handled properly, thanks to smart contracts.
Small sellers can now compete with bigger companies, thanks to the peer-to-peer character of the Blockchain network.
New storage protocols
IPFS offers tremendous improvements in terms of storage and communication, bringing huge improvements to protocols such as HTTP. IPFS protocols allow downloading multiple files from multiple devices simultaneously, allowing a better integration and use of information. Convenient file naming and client libraries for popular development languages like C++, Swift Python, and JavaScript also seem to bring a new edge to programming.
Novel storage mechanisms developed by using Blockchain technology allow transaction tracking and distribute those between new layers of Blockchain.
All these developments and innovations radically change how development companies and programmers carry their workload. While not all the mentioned changes are implemented and used at a large scale, they are due to become dominant in the near future. Some of these Blockchain applications are already implemented in sectors like healthcare, insurance, and logistics, so development is an expected new sector that will enjoy its advantages.
