R3 Developers Blog

The debate on where blockchain technology is heading is endless. The latest hype landed at a blurry and vague term of web3. In this article, I do not wish to explain if web3 really has the value it claims or if it is a total BS, rather, I would like to focus on what blockchain, the backbone under all these applications, is meant to do, and what is its current limitation.

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?

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.
