Astrakode: Simplifying Blockchain Development with Low-Code Solutions

In today’s fast-paced world, the demand for quick and efficient solutions has never been higher. Low-code development platforms have emerged as a game-changer in this scenario, empowering users to design and deploy applications with minimal coding expertise. This innovative approach has proven to be a boon for businesses and organizations seeking tailor-made solutions to address their unique requirements.

Low-code platforms offer a visual development environment where users can seamlessly drag and drop pre-built components to assemble applications. This method dramatically trims the time and effort involved in crafting an application, making it a far more appealing alternative to traditional coding. When we come to our low code blockchain platform, the primary focus is to make it easy for everyone, from students and freelancers to businesses, to use blockchain solutions with ease.

Introducing AstraKode Blockchain (AKB) – Your Low-Code Gateway to Blockchain

Astrakode Blockchain (AKB) is an all-encompassing low-code platform designed to help anyone create private blockchain networks with ease. AKB removes the barriers of extensive coding knowledge, enabling you to effortlessly build and deploy your own blockchain networks and smart contracts.

With its intuitive interface, AKB allows users to define network parameters, such as the consensus mechanism and the number of nodes. AKB then takes care of generating the necessary code and configuration files automatically.

The Four Pillars of AKB: Crafting the Perfect Blockchain Experience

AKB stands on four solid foundations: Network Composer, Smart Contract IDE, Assisted Deployment, Testing and Auditing, and Template Marketplace.

1. Network Composer: Network Composer simplifies the process of creating and configuring blockchain networks. Specify your network parameters, and AKB will generate the required code and configuration files in no time.
2. Smart Contract IDE: The Smart Contract IDE offers a user-friendly environment to write and deploy smart contracts on the blockchain. Currently, developers can write smart contracts in Solidity, a high-level programming language, and AKB will automatically compile and deploy the code on the blockchain. However, it’s worth noting that a new IDE for smart contracts, the Smart Contract IDE Fabric (ChainCode IDE), will soon be available. This new IDE will provide developers with additional options and flexibility for writing smart contracts on the blockchain.
3. Assisted Deployment, Testing, and Auditing: Starting from testing in a dedicated cloud suite, users will be able to deploy their solutions to their cloud provider or to a EVM-compatible blockchain.
4. Template Marketplace: this will be done via a template marketplace. In the future, we will use AI to allow users to create customized templates that fit their needs perfectly.

Unlock Endless Possibilities with AKB Use Cases

AKB’s versatile platform can be employed for an array of use cases such as supply chain management, identity management, voting systems, and beyond. But lets see what we achieved with one of our partner Systema S.r.l.

In today’s digital age, businesses and organizations are increasingly reliant on electronic documents to share information and collaborate with their partners and customers. However, this also presents challenges in terms of document security and privacy. How can businesses ensure that their sensitive documents are only accessible to authorized parties?

This was the challenge faced by Systema S.r.l., an Italian company that specializes in the design and production of electronic systems. Systema needed a solution that would allow them to securely share sensitive documents with their partners and customers.

To address this challenge, Systema turned to Astrakode’s private blockchain solution. Astrakode provides a low-code platform that enables businesses to easily create and deploy their own private blockchain networks.

Using Astrakode’s Network Composer, Systema was able to easily create and configure their own private blockchain network. Check out our full use case on Systema to see how our solutions are making a real difference.

The Benefits for Systema

As a result of implementing Astrakode’s private blockchain solution, Systema was able to improve document security and privacy. The blockchain provided a tamper-proof record of all document transactions, ensuring that only authorized parties could access the documents.

In addition, Systema was able to reduce the time and effort required to share documents with their partners and customers. The smart contracts automated many of the processes involved in sharing documents, making it faster and easier for Systema to collaborate with their partners and customers.

Now lets see an Example Project and how AKB can dramatically change the way of blockchain development: A User-Friendly Decentralized Voting System

Imagine a government seeking to create a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof decentralized voting system using blockchain technology. Their goal is to make the voting process more efficient and reliable, boosting public trust in the election results.

Traditional Blockchain Development

Developing a voting system on the blockchain can be daunting and time-consuming. Here’s a quick look at the typical development process that follows once a government agency has assembled an exceptional blockchain development team (which may require a considerable amount of time):

1. Choosing the right consensus mechanism: The development team must pick a suitable consensus mechanism, such as Proof of Work, Proof of Stake, or Delegated Proof of Stake.
2. Crafting the network architecture: The team designs the network architecture, defining the number of nodes, node types, and the network’s structure.
3. Coding: Developers write the code for the blockchain network, smart contracts, and voting application. This demands proficiency in various programming languages and familiarity with blockchain development tools and libraries.
4. Testing and auditing: Comprehensive testing and auditing are necessary to ensure the security and functionality of the blockchain network and smart contracts.
5. Deployment: The blockchain network and voting application must be deployed on servers, with nodes set up and maintained.

This process requires considerable expertise, time, and resources, creating hurdles for many organizations.

Developing with AstraKode Blockchain

Now, let’s see how AstraKode Blockchain (AKB) streamlines this process, making it more accessible and efficient:

1. Network Composer: The government agency can use AKB’s Network Composer to define network parameters, such as the consensus mechanism and the number of nodes, with a simple drag-and-drop interface. AKB then automatically generates the needed code and configuration files.
2. Smart Contract IDE: The agency can use AKB’s Smart Contract IDE to write and deploy smart contracts overseeing the voting process. They can write smart contracts in high-level programming languages like Solidity or Fabric (which is going to be released soon), and AKB takes care of compiling the code and the agency can deploy the smart contract on the blockchain.
3. Assisted Deployment, Testing, and Auditing: AKB’s tools for assisted deployment, testing, and auditing ensure the blockchain network and smart contracts are secure, reliable, and ready for action.
4. Effortless Deployment: AKB makes the deployment process a breeze, enabling the government agency to quickly deploy the voting system on their preferred infrastructure.

By using AstraKode Blockchain, the government agency can significantly reduce the time, effort, and complexity involved in creating a secure decentralized voting system. AKB offers a user-friendly, low-code solution that simplifies blockchain development, making it easier for organizations to harness the benefits of blockchain technology.
