1) Solving Trilemma of Blockchain

Although various private blockchains are being developed to solve the scalability problem of public blockchains, it is impossible to obtain multiple nodes due to the characteristic of private blockchains.

As a result, it dilutes the concept of decentralized ledgers, making the security vulnerable and decentralization difficult, which also negates the meaning of data sovereignty. To overcome the limitations, ReapChain implemented a hybrid blockchain with a Shell-Core Structure.

By flawlessly combining scalability-specialized private blockchains and public blockchains which guarantee decentralization and security with ReapChain’s inherent chain structure, Shell-Core Structure, we solved the Trilemma of Blockchain.

2) Upgrading Real-Time Data Processing Speed

Applications of the existing legacy system operate by sending and receiving data through servers in real-time. Especially payment, IoT, and game industry-related applications on legacy systems require real-time data exchange. However, on existing blockchains, processing data in realtime is impossible because they establish transparency and reliability of transactions through accomplishing consensus among all network participants.

ReapChain adopted the concepts of ‘Temporary Ledger’ and ‘Permanent Ledger’ from the securities industry to resolve the transaction processing speed problem. By adopting a pre-confirmation process in which the private blockchain consents on a transaction by transaction basis, 99.9% reliable transaction results are recorded in a temporary ledger and immediately provided it to DApp to process data in real-time, enabling the commercialization of the blockchain.

By making blocks for transactions processed in the temporary ledger on the public blockchain and recording them in the permanent ledger, the real-time processing of data can be made real without sacrificing security or decentralization.

3) Implementing Industry-Specialized MiddleChain

Because the technical characteristics of main net protocols required by DApps require vary from industry to industry, each industry needs specialized main net protocol. But to develop main net protocols for different industries can be very inefficient and can also lead to compatibility issues between protocols.

Reapchian provides ReapMiddleChain, a middle chain that is specialized for the characteristics of individual industries, making it easy for DApps to implement industry-specialized blockchain-based services. Also, by providing ReapMiddleChain with a single main net protocol, ReapChain supports the requirements of individual industries.

At the same time, ReapChain solves compatibility problems by integrating multiple main net protocols. Ultimately, ReapChain expands the platform ecosystem into the data industry for open data sharing by unifying data from all industries with a single main net protocol.

4) Providing DApp Service Provider-Friendly Development

Although developers use various languages such as java, c#, c++, and php to develop platforms, existing main net protocols are not compatible with such languages. As a result, for developers to develop DApp, they need to learn new the language and blockchain’s structure used in main net protocols. The hassle is being pointed out as one of the obstacles to DApp activation.

ReapChain aims to achieve ReapChain’s activation by offering ReapSDK, which supports the compatibility of various developing languages such as java, c#, and c++ and providing a DAppfriendly development environment so that developers without knowledge of blockchain can easily develop blockchain-based services.
