Eleven01 Testnet: A New Chapter in Indian Blockchain Industry
In our mission to bring blockchain for the next billion users, we achieved a major milestone when we launched the Eleven01 Testnet in December 2018. The testnet is open for both private and public workloads and offers an ecosystem for developers to create, test, and publish blockchain applications. This also enables us to gain direct customer feedback to further improve the protocol.
The big milestone is of Eleven01 network now being part of both - TechM Enterprise Marketplace & Microsoft Azure Marketplace. It shows both availability and maturity of network listing and that any early customer adopter can try the eleven01 instance deployment from there on. Customers also reach out directly to eleven01 if they need a custom configuration or service deployment for their specific need.
The testnet supports Solidity as the smart contract language, making the platform flexible from a development standpoint. So, blockchain developers can build applications that can be integrated with the existing infrastructure. Currently, the network has more than 350K+ blocks created in the chain. Users can search for blocks and transactions on the Eleven01 Block Explorer. The explorer displays various details ranging from hash details, average block produce time, average transaction per block, previous block hash value, active network nodes including their up-time which gives a very detailed analysis and trend line on the health of the network.
Eleven01 dApp implementation — KHETINEXT
With the testnet ready to go, we partnered with KHETHINEXT, an agritech startup that enables digital transformation in agriculture in India. The company uses Eleven01 blockchain protocol to create a digital platform that connects over 450,000 farmers directly with all other stakeholders in the farm-to-fork supply chain — financial institutions, product buyers, agriculture experts, and policymakers. Creating trust in the system through real-time monitoring and auditing of exchange of information, the solution greatly helps the farmers reduce cultivation costs and increase crop yields while gaining higher remunerative prices by reducing the number of middlemen in the existing system
KHETHINEXT dApp features Order List, which provides complete tracking details of any selected order from the list. The details — including when an order was approved, dispatched, received, and accepted, can be traced back to the individual records stored on Eleven01 blockchain. Take a look at the screenshot below:
Document verifcation on Eleven01 — DocsInBlocks
We also have another key launch partner namely DocsInBlock, a decentralized document management and authentication platform. Using the Eleven01 protocol, DocsInBlock has created a dApp that allows individuals, enterprises, and governments to manage all of their documents digitally with Time Stamped Tamper Proof (TSTP) protection.
Through this partnership, the solution created on Eleven01 aims to resolve issues such as data tampering, identity theft, delayed and costly verification systems, and security risks prevalent in the current document sharing and management systems
India — A blockchain innovation hub, powered by Eleven01
We have been receiving an overwhelming response from the developer community across the world, and our team has been working on incorporating the feedback to improve the protocol throughput and scalability. We have provided enough dApp examples to help developers learn and be equipped with the needed knowledge to build dApps faster which are deployment ready. Below is a snapshot of the sample dApp on the dev portal.
With a vast developer community and a thriving startup ecosystem, India has enormous opportunities to be a blockchain innovation hub. The launch of the Eleven01 testnet is a major milestone towards building such a future. Through the current platform, we are aiming to enter emerging markets that are looking to integrate blockchain solutions into various industries starting with agriculture, finance, supply chain and retail sector.
