Introducing Hiveroad — Your Highway to IOTA
Hiveroad makes development on Web3 easier, faster, and more accessible. We provide tools and services for a single, simple development workflow.
Increasing accessibility to Web3 development
Web3 is the next big thing, but the ecosystem is still maturing. Development is happening in leaps and bounds but often on separate platforms and communities. Some platforms are better off than others in providing well-crafted developer experiences; others are still catching up.
On Web3, tools and services are being built on a per-need basis. The ecosystem is yet to benefit from the polished development processes known from Web 2.0.
With its novel approach, IOTA is well-positioned to lead the next generation of distributed ledger technologies. To accelerate the adoption of the technology and the pace of innovation, the IOTA ecosystem needs to attract the best developer talents from Web 2.0.
To do this, IOTA needs to provide an extraordinary developer experience that makes the transition to Web3 as effortless as possible. This is where the community plays an important role. The community can support this effort and help the ecosystem grow by building the best tools and services for the projects and developers to come.
We have already seen many exciting ecosystem projects emerge. This is where Hiveroad comes in. Hiveroad is made by the community for the community. It was created based on our experiences in joining the ecosystem, the things we wish we had access to, and the best practices we have seen in our extensive experience working with DevOps teams.
We are on a mission to make development on IOTA easier, faster, and more accessible. Our vision is to unite the ecosystem tools and services into a single simple workflow.
The single, simple workflow for DevOps tooling
At the moment, building on IOTA requires a steep learning curve. First, you need to become an expert on the technology and its software components. Then you need to learn how to set up, manage, and keep the components up to date.
There are many steps to cover and a lot of manual work involved. You’ll need to invest a lot of effort before being able to innovate and build business value on the application layer.
Hiveroad makes building on top of IOTA as straightforward as possible. We’re building a single, simple workflow for development and providing tools and services — from building to deployment to operations.
We take care of the complexities so you can concentrate on innovating.
Hiveroad helps you get started on your IOTA journey with fast cloud-based prototyping. You can easily set up your development environment and start experimenting with code and ideas.
You’ll gain instant access to the IOTA network with just a few clicks — and have your nodes up and running in no time. You can innovate with speed and focus and build, connect, and deploy your smart contracts on the feeless network immediately.
First step: Validators as a Service
As the first step towards our vision and full offering, we’ll start providing validator nodes and committees as a service for IOTA smart contract chains.
Setting up your Wasp node is one of the first things you need to have in place to start developing your Web3 applications on IOTA. This needs to be made as easy as possible. This means you need to be able to do it without any research, tutorial walkthroughs, or environment setups.
Hiveroad provides hosted Wasp nodes that will scale based on your needs. We ensure your nodes are always up and running so your smart contracts get executed rapidly and on time. This way you can outsource some of your operational tasks and save time for more business-critical development.
On Hiveroad, you can create validator committees or join existing ones. We provide ease for manual validator committee management through our intuitive user experience.
You can access our service in a fully decentralized way and pay with crypto as you go. We support decentralized node management and enable you to use our platform on your existing infrastructure.
We couldn’t be more excited about the future of the IOTA ecosystem. We are building our pilot service on the Shimmer network and can’t wait to show you what else we’re working on.
