Blockchain application development service

Zofuku which operates a blockchain data center, will start a blockchain application development and operation support service based on the resources of the blockchain node operation and management business. We aim to realize an independent and decentralized society by providing decentralized application development and blockchain node operation support services by blockchain engineers to companies working on new business development and digital transformation (DX) in Japan.

Japanese Press Release is here.

Features

Even companies with insufficient blockchain human resources can develop blockchain applications. The operation of blockchain nodes, which is a burden for development companies, can be outsourced. Long-term operating costs can be reduced by using blockchain.

What is a blockchain application?

Generally, it refers to an application that utilizes blockchain technology or smart contracts as the back end, and is called a Decentralized Application (Dapp). Users are characterized by connecting the application to their own wallet. The blockchain used for Dapp development is a typical blockchain such as Ethereum and EOS.

Advantages and differences of blockchain apps

Decentralized app without a centralized administrator

A feature of blockchain is that it is a system that does not have a centralized administrator. Programs that can run on the blockchain are called smart contracts. In the case of a blockchain app, by using a smart contract in the background, the app will run according to the program running on the blockchain. As a result, we can provide apps that do not have a centralized management server. You can prevent the server from going down and the application from stopping due to a disaster or trouble. Easy data sharing with other industries and services

Blockchain is also a shared database. Computers (nodes) that participate in the blockchain network have common data with a common ID on each node. Therefore, the exchange between apps using the same blockchain can be done more smoothly than the conventional relational database. Token economy

Tokens generally refer to coins, currencies, and rights issued on the blockchain. The blockchain app can also issue unique tokens that can be used in the app and use them for in-app transactions or tokenize items in the app to buy and sell in the market. It is also possible to use the original token like a voting right, and the user who holds the token to vote for the operation of the application. The economic zone using tokens is unique to blockchain apps.

Current status and issues of blockchain application development

The hurdle to start development is high

In recent years, with the development of blockchain technology, development such as digitization utilizing blockchain technology and construction of a shared database in the industry has been actively carried out. Many projects are a consortium type that invites cooperation and participation between large companies, so the hurdles for participation are high, and there are also aspects that are difficult to judge due to relationships with competitors. In addition, as the market value of blockchain human resources increases, it becomes difficult to hire and secure human resources. Blockchain engineer and skills

Hiring blockchain engineers is difficult to evaluate them because the number of engineers in Japan is small and even if they are hired, there are few people who are familiar with the company. You can’t decide whether to use the blockchain

In development that utilizes blockchain, the decision as to whether or not to utilize blockchain is a very important question. It is necessary to understand blockchain, but due to the rapid technological development, it takes a certain amount of time to learn in addition to normal work in order to develop in-house human resources.
