AERGO Overview

hong27 (25)in #aergo • 6 years ago

AERGO is a fourth-generation “enterprise level” blockchain protocol combined with a modern development platform. It is aimed at developing and launching a comprehensive ecosystem of additional decentralized applications (dApps), technologies and service providers that use secure models of providing access to cloud services in their work. AERGO aims to promote blockchain on an industrial scale using autonomous companies, and intends to start a new era of large-scale blockchain technologies usage. AERGO is assumed to help business benefit from both public and private innovations in the blockchain sphere, at the same time being able to develop, implement and keep under control newly launched services.

What issues is Aergo going to solve?

Marketplaces and smart contract platforms present in the market don't meet the critical infrastructure requirements for the distributed applications development and hosting. As a result, a considerable part of dApp applications are hosted on decentralized platforms incompatible with outdated IT-systems with high operating costs and low transaction rates. Thus, this technology's implementation is hampered by both lack of developer-friendly tools and integration into corporate IT systems difficulties. Many product variations suffer from lack of corporate-scale options that are critical for business applications launch in both public and private segments. The AERGO software platform aims to enable enterprises and programmers to develop, assemble and deploy their own blockchain applications in a cloud environment. The platform gives programmers an opportunity to develop and customize blockchain programs to fit their needs, giving them the choice between open, closed or hybrid network options. Thanks to the opportunity to use and combine a variety of both private and public blockchains nuances while developing advanced services and software products, programmers and corporations have maximum flexibility and a wide range of options.

What are the distinctive features of Aergo?

AERGO is focused on the speed of work. Unlike existing releases, AERGO has not only horizontal scalability as its goal, but also support for applications based on mini-services focused on vertical extensibility. This should allow distributed applications to benefit from multi-core server platforms. AERGO aims to be simple for the end user. This involves comprehensive IT integration and customer support services that wish to deploy and receive support for new software solutions and business services based on AERGO. The proposed new technologies consist of: efficient and high-speed blockchain protocol, a powerful smart contract SQL-engine, an advanced software interface for IT integration and easy-to-use developer tools. All of the above should be supported by the new dApp coordination and program platform. This platform enables programmers and enterprises to install, run and maintain these applications at the right scale.

How is Aergo different from similar projects?

AERGO's core technology is already used by 25 million people around the world. The adaptability and high quality of data transmission of the central AERGO technology on an industrial scale demonstrates a high level of technological sophistication compared to alternative protocols. AERGO is not an experimental platform for expanding the limits of blockchain technology, but a productive tool for ordinary programmers. AERGO aims at developing and deploying final products for system IT-architects and programmers. As an applications building tool, AERGO is the first platform, equipped with key features familiar to full-stack developers, such as SQL support, reactivity, and isomorphic code writing. Being a blockchain, which is essentially created to branch and unite, as a platform for developers, AERGO was created for diverse programmers and encourages team development.

The new SAM software stack (SQL, Aergo, Meteor) aims to ensure that programmers easily assemble and implement decentralized applications on the AERGO platform.

What is the Aergo storage (repository)?

Aergo storage is the place where the program code is stored, which is created for a special project - private or public. Repositories are also used for programmers, collaborations and version control. Repositories give programmers the opportunity to work on new projects from anywhere in the world collectively. In fact, the repositories manage the files the project consists of, as they change over time. Aergo-chain supports the creation of both private and open repositories. Open storage is a public, shared, and distributed infrastructure for dApps applications. It can be configured selectively, giving different write and read permissions to users with anonymous access level. A private repository is a managed, secure, and personal infrastructure for distributed applications aimed at maximizing both write and read access control, plus data consistency along with the service quality within the repository. Creating new branches from the parent one, clients must be able to store newly created blocks in closed branches isolated from the public ones.

What is AERGO hub?

Aergo Hub aims to be a hosting service that manages independent separated private blockchains (based on Aergo-chain) very similar to public cloud services in its core. Aergo focuses on the technical support services operation and an environment necessary for a custom blockchain network building with random nodes including Web service, name service, load balancer, resource database and Access & Identification management.

What is Aergo Horde?

Aergo Horde is a Aergo Hub core module, which is a coordinating platform for installing a set of blockchains, which is managed by one or more nodes. This platform is designed to act as a software framework for infrastructure providers wishing to participate in the Aergo Hub ecosystem. All participants must have the Aergo Horde installed in order to act both as a node and as a host.

What is the Aergo trading platform?

The AERGO Trading Platform offers a multi-purpose interface where users can find and acquire computer facilities, software products and much more. For third parties, AERGO acts as an independent software and services vendor, so that cloud service vendors can sell their services and products to AERGO users.
