Application networks are part of our ambitious plan to update Corda’s network model, delivering more privacy and, more control while reducing operational complexity and cost. This blog post explores the moving pieces of these networks and the extra benefits they can bring.

Project Layer Cake: a small-scale, time-boxed effort to understand how developers use Corda and what the platform means to their success. We wanted to come out of this project with an understanding of how to simplify the way we communicate Corda concepts to our business and technical partners.

Corda 5 Developer Preview, which you can consider an alpha release, allows you to assess our new set of modular APIs and how they might impact your development velocity. In this blog post, we will deep dive into what API modularity means for developers and touch on our motivations behind them.

The new Corda 5 architecture and deployment methods are designed to deliver high availability and scalability. We placed these two crucial aspects of any high-dependency system at the center of our development mindset. After a process of careful planning and re-architecting, we are excited to share the direction we are taking for the new Corda 5 node architecture — designed to maximize reliability, availability, and scalability.

This post is a high-level summary of the how, introducing some of the big new concepts we are working on as part of the development of Corda 5 to address those takeaways and meet the objectives in the previous post.

Following CordaCon we are excited to announce R3 is working on the next major platform version — Corda 5 — and that the first public milestone — Corda 5 Developer Preview — is available!

One of the main differences between the Corda 5 Developer Preview 1 (C5DP1) and Corda 4.x is C5DP1 has a layered approach with interface-based APIs, rather than the Corda 4 core module, where implementation and the API formed a single block. In this blog, we will discuss the way we write and use CordaService in Corda 5. CordaService provides a way to use interface-based APIs.

In the past few years blockchain technology, sometimes referred to as distributed ledger technology, has shown its value in finance-related sectors. Whether it is the banking sector, trade finance, or inter-institutional settlements, people understand blockchain’s value in transactions-based business. But how does this distributed ledger technology benefit the rest of modern industry? There is a

An important aspect of Corda is the ability to reissue states for assets that have a long transaction history.

here is a fascinating collection of paradigms in the blockchain world as there are two ways to build out new financial applications using blockchain. The first is CeFi, or centralized finance, and the second is DeFi, or decentralized finance. In DeFi, you only have to trust the protocol, but in CeFi, you must trust the company.
