ArcBlock is an ecosystem that has built and deployed for decentralized blockchain application programs by providing with necessary foundational components that trigger power to the complex business rules. It works through connecting with blockchain network that ensures automatic business process linked with the system that already exists.

When the process works it goes through some steps using Open Chain Access Protocol. In this protocol, the system has to connect with an architectural component that improves the communication process among the system and its users. The component is Blocklet which is the core software and this article will be useful to get proper knowledge about it.

About Blocklet

Blocklet is not just an application protocol in ArcBlock, whether it is a software that puts the foundation building blocks. The protocol has built on a series of Blocklets and allows the Open Access Protocol and Distributed PUB/SUB gateways to communicate with other blockchain networks and clients’ browsers or application programs. This means that Blocklet lies in the center of the entire system and enhances the communication system among each other.

How Blocklet Works

Blocklet works with two major components; one is microservice architecture and another is serverless computing. Both are involved in diverse levels of concept whereas both the system needs each other to perfectly fit into the system of ArcBlock.

Microservice Architecture

Microservice Architecture is a variation of service-oriented architecture (SOA) style and a collection of application that matches perfectly with the blockchain applications. ArckBlock uses Blocklet technology as an event-driven microservice to conquer every margin of the blockchain network.

Serverless Computing

In Blockclet, a cloud computing execution model is used in serverless computing that dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. This system works with the blockchains and to implemented with Blocklets as a serverless program.

Types of Blocklets

Blocklet is flexible to use and consists of one or more types of units in business logic that is packaged. Each of the units plays some role in applications. The most common type of Blocklet units are described below:

Off-Chain Logic: This helps in real-life and decentralized applications. Sometimes it also runs few logical components. Blocklet can use this application logic to develop the system and blockchain relation.

Off-Chain and On-Chain Logic: This logical system is very common for a business logic application and connects with required respective data.

Asset and Resource Handling: Blocklet is able to communicate with client’s assets and resources as storage system through this by handling resources and assets like videos, music, and documents.

Smart Contracts: The smart contract simplifies the communication system maintaining trust barrier and verifying authentic transactions.

Oracle: Oracle is one type of smart contract that takes external data sources triggers to the events and compels the Oracle implementation by design.

Implementation Process of Blocklet

At the very first phase of ArcBlock development. Blocklet has to implement the local test environment and AWS. The production process will be supported on AWS taking advantage of many advanced design features.

Blocklet Components

Building Blocklet Blocks are customizable and reusable. Therefore, Blocks has to be made formerly that can be placed in the foundation for ArcBlock platform.

ArcBlock is a blockchain ecosystem and it uses Blocklets in its way of providing services.Blocklet has been designed in such a way that even engineers themselves consider it as compelled by the considered division.

5 YEARS TARGETS ON ARC BLOCK PROJECT

First Year Targets

Launch first decentralized apps built on ArcBlock with selected clients.

Launch Open Chain Access Protocol and reference implementations for major blockchains (Ethereum, Hyperledger, etc.).

Second Year Targets

Public launch and popularization among the general public.

First Developer Conference for ArcBlock developers and partners.

Launch the support and Blocklet Building Blocks for digital media, publishing, and knowledge sharing.

Design and implement support for IoT blockchain applications. (Support MQTT protocols and AWS IoT service. Consider supporting IOTA as a blockchain underlayer).

Build the decentralized marketplace for ArcBlock decentralized applications and their tokens.

Third Year Targets

Public launch for IoT smart home and smart city application support.

Contribute Open Chain Access Protocol and related technology to the open source community (through the Linux Foundation, Hyperledger Foundation, or a similar organization) to increase adoption and position ArcBlock as the de facto standard of open chain access.

Extend cloud computing support for the ArcBlock platform, targeting support for all major cloud platforms including AWS, Windows Azure, Google Computing Engine, Aliyun, Tencent Yun, etc. ArcBlock is aiming for a cloud platform-independent, universal, and decentralized application platform.

Forth Year Targets

Embrace the potential trend that blockchain protocols may be adopted at the OS (operating system) level by providing foundational OS-level support in the ArcBlock Platform.

Build the token ecosystem and a new operating system with ArcBlock platform partners and developers for a truly decentralized, autonomous business environment.

Fifth Year Target

ArcBlock becomes an open, foundational service of the new programmable society, supporting the DAO/DAC and their services/applications.
