The Insolar team has been continuing its work throughout the last autumn month of the year, fixing all sorts of bugs in anticipation of the full MainNet release in mid-January. Moreover, we had exciting partnerships to announce, building on the news of cooperation with Microsoft, Innosuisse and Oracle last month. In November, Insolar was selected to be the launch partner of leading blockchain media outlet Cointelegraph’s new enterprise consulting arm.

“Enterprise has been waiting for its blockchain moment,” says Peter Fedchenkov, Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Insolar. “With only 7% of enterprise blockchain pilots making it into production, the market is desperate for a solution that meets rigorous business requirements and is ready for commercial deployment. Together with Cointelegraph, we will make that moment happen.”

DLT Documents: On The Chain

Blockchain is a method to store data in a distributed fashion. But what if we could store data structured as documents on the blockchain? Integration requirements to store individual data points to the blockchain necessitate a total overhaul of systems across entire business networks and, at present, involve manual input of each datapoint (e.g. IBM food trust). As such, it is simpler to integrate into enterprise processes a blockchain that can store documents, and this “on-chain” document storage provides several advantages.

Being able to identify oneself has become a daily part of people’s lives. Whether it’s to collect your post or travel to another country, being able to identify who you are has become something of a necessity. Things have come a long way from the use of signatures alone, through to the provision of identity documents (passports) and beyond. However, while these methods for identifying someone work well enough in the physical world, there has been some debate as to which methods can be implemented to give people verifiable digital identities.

2. Engineering highlights

The development team has been hard at work, separating the MainNet application code from that of the platform. This allowed for MainNet application code to be cleaned up and optimized, and was done to simplify the simultaneous development of multiple applications on Insolar Blockchain Platform.

Meanwhile, versions of some core dependencies like Watermill and Badger have been updated, with dependency management has been switched to go modules from “go dep”.

Furthermore Observer stability for the platform has been improved and a new data scheme for the Observer module has been developed.

In addition, end-to-end tests for business scenarios have been implemented.
