Introducing Nervos’ integration with China’s Blockchain-based Services Network (BSN)
We’re excited to announce our upcoming integration with BSN, China’s Blockchain-based Services Network!
The integration is set to go live on August 10th with the launch of BSN’s new International Portal and will make the Nervos blockchain available to millions of potential users and developers through the International Portal.
What is BSN?
BSN is a cross-cloud, cross-portal, cross-framework blockchain-based infrastructure network, which integrates cloud resources, underlying frameworks, operating environments, certificate management, development SDK and gateway API together to provide developers a one-stop-shop to deploy and manage all kinds of Dapps conveniently and at low cost.
Why Nervos is collaborating with BSN
In recent years, China has been focused on promoting and accelerating the development of blockchain technologies as a competitive edge. Led by a coalition of prominent Chinese entities like the State Information Center, China Mobile, China UnionPay, and Red Date Technologies, BSN was built to make blockchain innovation more accessible to developers and provide them with access to low-cost blockchain solutions.
Currently, BSN’s China Portal only supports permissioned blockchains — such as consortium blockchain frameworks like HyperLedger Fabric, Baidu’s XuperChain, and CITA — due to China’s strict regulatory environment, but BSN’s new International Portal gives global users direct access to Nervos (CKB) and other leading public blockchains like Ethereum (ETH), EOS, Tezos (XTZ), and more. By bringing together the top permissionless blockchain frameworks into one shared gateway, we believe BSN has the potential to drive blockchain development and adoption at an unprecedented pace and scale.
Why BSN selected Nervos for its first batch
Nervos was chosen as one of BSN’s first public blockchain partners because our unique layered architecture allows developers to balance trust and security with scalability and performance. By combining our layer one solution (Nervos CKB), a permissionless, proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain, with an application layer for performance, privacy, and diversity, we’re able to provide unlimited scalability for dApps and layer two solutions.
In addition to our innovative infrastructure, our founding team is regarded as one of the top technical blockchain teams in China, with deep ties and connections in the enterprise blockchain space. We were previously selected by China Merchants Bank International (CMBI) to help build decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and partnered with Huobi to co-develop a regulator-friendly public DeFi chain.
Benefits of the BSN integration for blockchain developers
By combining the benefits of both permissioned and permissionless blockchain networks, Nervos’ integration with BSN will help increase utilization for a much wider variety of use cases than previously possible. We also believe the integration will encourage more developers to join and build on our network — a win for the entire Nervos community.
Through BSN International Portal, blockchain developers can access Nervos via BSN’s global city nodes, deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications on a highly scalable permissionless network, execute globalized blockchain services on a global scale, and more.
One of our main goals at Nervos is to make blockchain more accessible to everyone. Our integration with BSN is bringing us one step closer to global mainstream blockchain adoption.
