An Intellyx BrainCandy Update
DECENT is focused on demonstrating how its DCore platform offers a high-performance BaaS (blockchain as a service) substrate for bespoke vertical applications.
We last covered DECENT in 2018 and 2019. The founder, Matej Michalko, started the non-profit to help media producers — artists, musicians and writers — control and capitalize on the distribution of their own media. Now the project has attracted a global community of development and creative resources applying their distributed ledger model to a wider range of problems, from auto parts and spacecraft supply chain provenance, to in-game digital token currencies, to authenticated legal documents.
Their DCore platform sits underneath DECENT’s public chain ecosystem, and it was modularly designed so partners can build their own public, permissioned or private blockchain applications, several of which are now documented on the project’s site.
Under the hood, its DPoS (distributed proof of stake) consensus model allows for high transaction rates (claims of 20,000 TPS or more) with less likelihood of network congestion and a lower power footprint. As for the payloads, its smart contracts simply provide a ‘pointer’ to decrypt a stored media file on CDN like Cloudflare or IPFS (a blockchain distributed file storage system).
