Ant Blockchain
As the leading blockchain service platform in the industry, Ant Blockchain BaaS has the following advantages:
High performance
Based on cutting-edge concurrency and consensus technologies, Ant Blockchain can handle a maximum of 25,000 notary blockchain transactions per second to fit high-concurrency scenarios in the finance industry.
High reliability
Ant Blockchain provides high business reliability and supports buffering during peak workloads. The consensus technologies based on PBFT supports Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT), automatic recovery of the consensus state, multiple backups, storage distribution balancing, and automatic load balancing.
Dual-permission protection
Ant Blockchain provides dual-permission protection to secure your data. The first-layer protection is that the consortium blockchain is visible to its trusted participants while invisible to other users. The second-layer protection requires that each user submits the CA certificate application and waits for the application to be approved before they can participate in the consortium blockchain.
The first-layer protection is that the consortium blockchain is visible to its trusted participants while invisible to other users.
Cross-network deployment
Ant Blockchain allows you to deploy blockchain nodes across cloud platforms based on your business requirements. A part of the nodes that participate in the consensus can run on the Alibaba Cloud platform, while other nodes can run in your IT environment.
Data privacy and security
You can chain plaintext data or encrypt the chained data by using the symmetric encryption method. Ant Blockchain allows you to share privacy models. You can encrypt the encryption key with another private key. The encrypted ciphertext and encrypted key are stored in a chain. You can manage the private keys with specific key derivation functions, and share different private keys based on the corresponding security levels and sharing ranges.
Easy to use
Ant Blockchain reduces the knowledge requirement to use blockchains, and you do not need to understand the underlying technical details of blockchains. You can focus on designing and developing blockchain applications instead of managing the application environment.
Hyperledger Fabric
Openness and sharing
Alibaba Cloud BaaS supports blockchain applications and data under the Hyperledger Fabric framework. Development results are shared to an open source blockchain community.
Alibaba Cloud will integrate developed blockchain systems to build an open, capable, and standardized blockchain ecosystem for users.
