We recently dropped the first preview of the new peer-to-peer communications layer of Corda 5. In this article, I’ll talk about what it’s been like working on this release and my onboarding experience at R3 since I joined last year.

New confidential computing technologies make it possible to build apps that truly protect users’ information. But how easy are these apps to build in reality? What does it take to convince consumers they can be trusted?

Private blockchains such as Corda are purpose-built to improve the existing interactions of firms in a market by reducing inefficiency, optimizing processes, eliminating duplication, and creating certainty.

At R3, we have been ramping up our investment in interoperability capabilities over the last year, as this customer need has gone from a ‘nice-to-have’ to a ‘must-have.’

The Corda network bootstrapper is a tool that allows you to quickly bootstrap a Corda test network. The reason it is only recommended to be used as a test network is that it uses all the development java keystores to sign the nodes, CorDapp, transactions, etc as default.

Corda was founded on a single vision, laid out in its original statement of intent. As well as a technical description of a platform, this was a rallying cry to Corda developers to get out into the world and be disruptive.

It’s hardly an overstatement to say that Corda is already leading the way in enterprise blockchain success. Corda is already helping industries around the world benefit from instant reconciliation between firms, higher levels of trust, and the frictionless sharing of value and data across entire markets.

It’s time we challenged ourselves to do better. So can we at least write down some requirements for a business-to-business application development platform that does respect existing market dynamics and doesn’t force new parties into the mix? For example, what are some of the problems you need to solve when building a true B2B market-style application?

We’re excited to announce the beta release of Conclave Cloud! A new confidential computing platform for hosting privacy-preserving applications using Intel SGX. The Conclave Cloud platform will bring together a variety of services that will seamlessly integrate with each other providing a rich set of tools for implementing solutions without ever having to leave the

All relevant transactions and states are stored in the vault of the Corda node. Often it is required for the CorDapp to access this vault for various activities. To serve this purpose, Corda has been architected from the ground up to encourage the use of industry standard and proven query frameworks and libraries for accessing
