China National Platform Blockchain Service Network (BSN) has added support for Algorand, ShareRing and Solana blockchains.
The BSN project is a blockchain-based universal “hub” for developers of decentralized applications, which is supported by the State Information Center of China. Yifan He, CEO of Red Date Technology, which helped build BSN, said the platform has moved into a second phase of open network integration. Previously, BSN added support for Ethereum, EOSIO, Tezos, Neo, Nervos and IrisNet blockchains.
He explained that BSN is choosing open blockchains with unique characteristics that will help solve real-world problems, as well as facilitate the rapid development of the platform’s ecosystem. In the future, BSN plans to support all types of decentralized applications. The creators of the platform believe that this will reduce the costs of their development and deployment, as well as ensure interoperability between managed and unmanaged blockchains.
“By integrating open blockchains, we are installing main and test network nodes on our Public City Nodes (PSN), which are BSN data centers. Developers can access all nodes from all open networks through a single channel, so the cost of connecting to open networks is reduced to almost zero, ”He said.
Algorand Foundation COO Fangfang Chen added that the integration of Algorand’s open-source blockchain using PoS will benefit both enterprise users and developers by making it easier to deploy their applications.
ShareRing CEO Tim Bos said that access to so many blockchains through the BSN platform will help drive the ShareRing project, which in turn will enable developers to leverage their products. We are talking about a protocol for digital identity management (ShareRing ID), an infrastructure for making payments (ShareRing Pay), a decentralized e-commerce platform (ShareRing Shop), as well as a protocol for asset management.
Solana CEO and co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko noted that the Solana blockchain is focused on increasing scalability without compromising security and decentralization. Yakovenko added that Solana executives are happy to become part of the Blockchain Service Network and provide convenient access for developers to work with the BSN infrastructure.
In addition, BSN is considering collaborating with the Cosmos and Polkadot projects to create the Interchain Communications Hub (ICH), which will be the standard protocol for decentralized applications running on different blockchains. In addition, in July, the creators of the BSN platform announced that they plan to integrate more than 100 open blockchains during the year.
