How does a platform make all of the hardships of blockchain development easier? By simply taking them away, of course. Atra Blockchain Services is a cloud platform of web services that helps you create, deploy and maintain decentralized applications (dApps) without the headache of creating and maintaining the infrastructure. To build an end-to-end dApp, no code is required. Nor a wallet. Nor the handling of cryptocurrency. Nor the need to understand solidity, to set up a node, to host an environment or local blockchain. Nope. None of it.

The Atra platform turns what is around a multi-week project for experienced developers to about 10 minutes. Companies and individual hobbyists alike will now be able to prototype a decentralized application on the Ethereum testnet with hardly any time or resources spent.

The mission is to build the foundation in which blockchain technology can erupt. This platform allows us to test and try our crazy blockchain-backed ideas without having to waste tons of time and money. We can start to apply blockchain logic simply, and grow the technology with firm and realistic ideas and use cases.

Prototyping your ideas is simple. Upon logging in (NO payment info required), you can start using Atra’s 3 beta services: dTables, Triggers, and LiteUI.

dTables — decentralized storage

Basically like an excel sheet on the blockchain that stores your application’s data. Record users, inventory data, messages on a message board, etc. Acts as a normal database would.

Triggers — decentralized business logic.

Create smart contracts that control your business interactions with no code. Set conditions that allow your logic to be enforced. Accessible as a text form that allows you to modify your dTables, or make calls to the API.

LiteUI — sleek user interface.

One of the biggest aspects hindering blockchain use is user experience. Possibly the most powerful service in the suite when it comes to prototyping, LiteUI allows you to put a fully functioning and shareable interface to your business logic and storage, giving you a full on website. The website it live instantly and hosted by Atra. You can also edit and update your UI and see changed reflected instantly. Now you can vet ideas and functionality as quick as ever without having to build a front end.

Build an application today on the Ethereum Rinkeby Testnet, free of charge.

Still not sure? See what the fun is all about — interact with a live decentralized application, The International Blockchain Network, built on the Atra Platform. This dApp was made to foster community across the world in the blockchain space. “Members” can add information about companies as well as post an ask or offer from the community.

Have fun!
