At VesselChain, we utilize Ignis, an advanced blockchain technology developed by Jelurida. Jelurida, founded in 2016, has been a leader in the blockchain industry with a history of innovation. They created the Nxt blockchain platform in 2013, one of the first pure proof-of-stake blockchains, and the Ardor platform in 2018, featuring a unique parent-child chain architecture. Ignis, a child chain of Ardor, provides extensive functionalities while maintaining security and efficiency, making it ideal for managing maritime certifications.
Data Cloud Functionality
The core feature we utilize from Ignis is its robust Data Cloud. This functionality is pivotal for securely and efficiently storing and managing certification data. Here’s why the Data Cloud is essential for VesselChain:
Archived data can be retrieved on demand from designated nodes, ensuring accessibility of older data without overloading the blockchain.
This feature manages blockchain bloat by removing old data while keeping it retrievable, ensuring long-term efficiency.
The flexible design of our system supports seamless growth. As VesselChain expands, our system adapts, maintaining speed and security while managing an increasing number of maritime certificates.
With built-in features, we minimize development time and costs, making our certification management system both economical and efficient.
Our platform integrates seamlessly with other systems, enhancing functionality and user experience by connecting VesselChain with various services.
