Thanks to the tech company Blockchain Technology Partners (BTP), Customers can now integrate smart contracts on Amazon AWS’ Quantum Ledger Database (QLDB).

BTP unveiled the general availability of its DAML incorporation, accessible through its Sextant for DAML platform, allowing those working with Amazon’s QLDB to harness smart contracts on the platform, according to a Feb 25 statement provided to media.

Amazon’s QLDB isn’t the first to incorporate Sextant for DAML

Prior to its Amazon QLDB launch, BTP’s Sextant for DAML boasted compatibility on Hyperledger Sawtooth, and AWS’ relational database service, Amazon Aurora.

Amazon QLDB caters to those who want to build on an immutable – but not necessarily decentralized – ledger, the statement noted.

BTP CTO Kevin O’Donnell said in his statement that:

There are plenty of scenarios where there is a trusted centralized operator or a natural authority but there is still a requirement to ensure that isn’t tampered with.

Further, he adds that:

DAML on Amazon QLDB addresses these use cases combining the expressive power of DAML with the resilience of AWS.

DAML is a Smart Contract language from Digital Asset

Digital Asset, a blockchain software company, brought its smart contract language, Digital Asset Modeling Language, or DAML, into the open-sourced world in April 2019. Later that same month, the firm announced Hyperledger Sawtooth integration on April 16, with AWS Aurora integration following in June.

Digital Asset Co-Founder & CTO, Shaul Kfir said in his statement that:

BTP’s Sextant for DAML with QLDB makes it seamless to run distributed applications without the operational overhead or compromising security.

Digital Asset also partnered with mainstream cloud software powerhouse VMware in April 2019.
