QChain Node for iOS Available in Beta, Scalability, and Flexibility of Next-Gen blockchains Driving Business Adoption

The beta version of the QChain node now works in the iOS operating system and is available for download. Presently, there are over 10k node test operators as per an update on August 9.

Device Agnosticism for Superior Decentralization

The announcement is a move in the right direction for a platform that revamps the architecture of legacy ledgers. QChain nodes run on all devices, including desktops and mobile phones. The decision to make the operation of a node device-agnostic makes the blockchain more decentralized and robust.

Combined with their high throughput, security, and scalability, QChain can sufficiently offer suitable solutions, an alternative to those preventing enterprises from adopting blockchain technology. The redundant architecture of public ledgers leads to security but sacrifices scalability. Notably, the high network fees continue to be a concern, discouraging businesses from adopting blockchain solutions despite the technology’s value proposition.

Challenges Facing Legacy Blockchain

Present challenges, preventing blockchain technologies from taking off among businesses, have forced developers back to the drawing board.

Their pressing concern is the release of a suitable blockchain that snugly fits the business world’s ever-rising demands. While businesses are eager–having have identified the efficiencies of distributed ledgers–available first-generation base layers must offer a means of cheaply transacting without compromising decentralization and security.

A mark of superiority in blockchain circles—and often the center of heated debates –is decentralization and how best blockchain developers can delicately balance complete decentralization and security while also allowing for high throughput.

To achieve this ideal state of blockchain perfection, developers of next-generation blockchains note that the problem is foundational. The Proof-of-Work system used by some of the world’s most valuable networks like Ethereum and Bitcoin, for example, is both susceptible to 51 percent attacks.

Besides, the duplicity demanded has effectively cut off ordinary users with regular devices from participating. The high barrier to entry—even for interested businesses–, memory and HDD requirements, and lack of usability at the internet data bank level are all limitations preventing the rapid use of blockchain beyond simple financial applications.

Modern Blockchain Platforms for Enterprise Adoption

The success of blockchain, analysts point out, is when almost all facets of the economy–from the supply chain, real estate, logistics, and more–, are plugged in, leveraging the power of distribution and smart contracting. This will be only made possible if the underlying blockchain is flexible, supporting the deployment of robust and light processors.

Beyond hardware, enhancement and expansion of smart contracting capability are crucial. A new age platform like QChain, for instance, is a four-dimensional smart contracting blockchain allowing businesses to conclude up to 10 deals at once. This is executed in a high throughput, low-fees environment with a 100k TPS expandable to 1 million TPS. It is activated by deploying a virtual switching network borrowing techniques from the TCP/IP architecture that allowed the internet to scale.

Blockchain-reliant Businesses Blossoming

With a combination of speed, scalability, interoperability, and secure decentralized storages with guaranteed, cheap encryption diverging from traditional solutions, businesses are now beginning to flow back. Notably, the enhancement of smart contracts and the base layer with provisions for regulatory compliance via KYC and AML rules adherence have seen the influx of entities, especially in gaming, building directly on-chain.

On the other hand, the decentralization and security of blockchain-based storage solutions provide an edge for businesses that can be assured of privacy and security without necessarily having to pay top-dollar to access such services as would be the case. Next-generation blockchains proactively offer real-time digitally proven and auditable trail of records transparently accessible to all stakeholders in the supply chain.
