Core elements of the blockchain enable us to build a better database service.

“Is Bluzelle a blockchain?” “What blockchain is Bluzelle built on?”

Those are two questions often asked to us.

Watch our latest intro video to recap on what is Bluzelle

The answer is that Bluzelle is not a blockchain and it is not built on top of Ethereum, Hyperledger or any other blockchain. Bluzelle is a new database protocol that will be a complementary piece that connects with blockchain protocols. Over the past year our team saw that many of the underlying elements of the blockchain lend themselves well to infrastructure technologies.

Here are four ways Bluzelle is leveraging the following key blockchain elements:

Decentralization. The Bluzelle network of nodes is a decentralized model. By storing client data across the network, Bluzelle eliminates the risks that come with centralized models. Data quality, performance, scalability, and reliability is maintained by dynamic, intelligent replication (including history), which also serves the purpose of being an automatic backup/restoration mechanism.

Sharding. Bluzelle splits up client data using our own “2D” data partitioning algorithms into vertical and horizontal shards (System for Highly Available Replicated Data). These shards are the basis for dissemination of entire databases over the decentralized network.

Cryptography. Bank-grade cryptography forms the basis for Bluzelle’s security model, ensuring that all client data is encrypted prior to being sharded, transmitted, and stored. A symphony of 256 bit symmetric keys and 256 bit public keys are utilized to maximize data privacy and authenticity.

ERC-20 Tokenization. ERC-20 is the industry standard for issuing digital tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. ERC-20 enables the creation, management, and dissemination of these tokens. They provide the liquidity needed to drive digital economies, such as Bluzelle.

As you can see, even though Bluzelle isn’t a blockchain, blockchain technology has established a set tools and innovations that businesses like ours can apply.
