The problem that Sparkster solves really can be considered painful: the more modern blockchain projects to be decentralized, the greater the scalability problems they face. Sparkster, while providing increased scalability, ensures decentralization and security.

That’s a clear win for scalability, what about decentralization? Answer is near

What is Sparkster?

Today, Sparkster is a platform of empowerment to bring your ideas to life by building software without learning how to code. Use intuitive drag and drop interfaces and the ability to define business logic in plain English to build anything imaginable. Focus on WHAT you want to build, and let our platform transform your ideas into working software in seconds. Inspired by MIT Scratch, we take the position that if young children can build games with simple building blocks, then we can empower everybody to build enterprise grade applications in a similar manner.

The Sparkster system has been designed specifically so that miners are able to select and mine directly to any of the sharded blockchains so there are little incentives for them to join mining pools, thus ensuring a greater level of decentralization.

In Under 3 Mins, Sparkster Reaches 50,000 TPS LIVE!

This video is an excerpt from an AMA and LIVE Demo that was conducted on June 1st 2018. Here we demonstrate how Sparkster achieves 50,000 Transactions Per Second in under 3 mins.

Sparkster is Enterprise ready!

Having spent the last 14 years working with software engineers to design and build ERP software for a fledgling startup, Sparkster was born from extreme frustration and the answer to our founder exclaiming “just give me the tools, and I’ll do it myself!” Hence, the idea emerged. Empowering our managerial team with the tools to define just business logic, without worrying about the technical coding, was the guiding principle with which the platform was developed. From there began a 6 year journey in R&D to find a way as to how such a platform might be built.

Today, the Sparkster platform is not simply production ready, it’s enterprise ready. Designed with cloud principles, and utilizing managed and monitored Docker containers, the platform autonomously scales horizontally to support near unlimited throughput from users and devices. In addition, security is at the forefront of the design and architectural considerations of the Sparkster platform. Implementing AES 256 bit encryption and OAUTH 2.0 between all container interactions, security isn’t an afterthought, it is integral to the very architecture of the Sparkster platform.

Competitors…

When it comes to competitors there are many who are looking to solve scalability however they’re all still a work in progress.

The closest comparable is Zilliqa and only because Zilliqa uses sharding to achieve scalability, whereas Sparkster uses a bit more of a novel innovative sharding method, it doesn’t necessarily fall under the “normal” definition of sharding.

However, Sparkster already has a testnet up and running, as does Zilliqa, so it is now very much a race to see who can get their mainnet up and running first to gain the first mover’s advantage although I do see it‘s possible for both of them to thrive.

To wrap things up:

This is likely a project that you’ll want to watch moving forward. Their team currently comprises of several full-time members who’ve made strong progress over the past several months.

On paper the team and advisors look competent enough with relevant experience and expertise to achieve what they set out to do.

Sparkster’s crowdsale is slated for early June. In the end, it seems that Sparkster was much less quackery and leaned more towards being revolutionary.

I will definitely be keeping an eye on them to see how things progress.
