The term blockchain although commonly
used as a replacement for cryptocurrencies, it is actually the underlying
technology behind cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoins, Ethereum with a potential
open in many sectors from banking to logistics, from healthcare to public
administration, and more. Blockchain technology allows data sharing with
transaction records kept in encrypted ledgers. The technology holds immense
potential to change the way businesses approach data and information and how
software developers write, market, and sell software.
Blockchain technology also allows smart
contracts that allow parties to store, verify and execute code on a blockchain.
Blockchain Developers Dubai have undertaken the task of producing
applications and software utilizing this technology. Such projects hold the
potential to replace the traditional processing, storage, and computing
elements of the computing stack. The soaring popularity of the blockchain means
these new blockchain standards, offering infinite greater possibilities compared
to conventional programming will soon become the norm in software development.
Blockchain software adopts a
distributed ledger system where the data are although accessible to everyone but
cannot be altered without any unauthorised access. Any user with access to the
data on a blockchain built application may view or add data in the record but
cannot change or delete anything. This makes the databases built on blockchain
very secure, robust and eliminates the need of any third party or ‘middle man’
in data transactions. The benefits of such robust databases are huge especially
when it comes to protecting the integrity of information in several industries.
Third party invasions in business
transactions are to ensure reliability and trust between the parties involved. Similarly,
software development largely takes place either through software development
firms or through third-party portals such as Upwork. It’s quite difficult for
small software developers or creators in any field to establish trust and
integrity within their industry without the help of a middle man.
Blockchain technology removes the
need of a third party allowing smaller players to get involved on an equal
level. The peer-to-peer network of blockchain enables self-executing contracts,
which facilitate payments between customers and developers, eliminating the
middleman. The net result is an encouragement of small teams and individual
developers, radically altering the hierarchy of the software industry.
