Bluzelle Brings Data Services to the Table in the Most Unique Way.

Introduction

Data services are online programs used to control data virtualization’s programming logic. Data services which is also referred to as “Data as a Service (DaaS)”, are comparable with Software as a Service (SaaS), in the sense that data is stored in the cloud and users of the data get unrestricted access to it and also evaluate the information they need from anywhere around the world.

Data providers remove redundancies, reduce the expense of storing essential data at one location, and allow many users to view and/or modify the data while maintaining a centralized location update. When paired with data virtualization, data services offer an abstraction layer from the knowledge of the stored data. Data virtualization offers the platform for storing data, while data services perform the programmatic job of recovering data from the platform. Data services simplify the task of finding diversely-stored data as well as provide data analysts and developers with simple programming tools to locate and collect the data they need without stress.

Disadvantages of Data services include system failure from the data service provider, loss of data in case of an unfortunate incident, and poor data security at its stored location and in the transfer of data between users.

Bluzelle is a platform built to solve issues pertaining to data services and perfect the advantages.

Introducing Bluzelle

Bluzelle is a decentralized database service built for decentralized applications (DApps). It is built for DApp developers who are no longer comfortable with current database systems, due to their minimal scalability, and complexity. In blockchain infrastructure, Bluzelle plays a key role in the growth of the decentralized Internet. Bluzelle uses blockchain, sharding, and partitioning concepts to build a marketplace for data storage and operation.

Data Relating Issues That You Cannot Find on Bluzelle

The internet we know today is experiencing a lot of data problems like: -

• Data Retention: With this kind of issue, there is no assurance given to you by the internet that the data you wanted to be destroyed was actually destroyed.
• Data Censorship: Centralized data storage in data centers or on the cloud makes it easy for a country, a coalition of countries, or a company to forcibly shut down all of the database servers if they so wish.
• Data Breach: Most companies run a database server with weak links and it makes it easy for hackers to exploit.
• Data Scalability: Most centralized database storage companies are limited to a particular geographical region in terms of scaling and can’t go global.

If so, then why Bluzelle?

Bluzelle aims to set a whole new benchmark for storing and management of data, utilizing the brickwork of a new online decentralized infrastructure laid by blockchain.

Bluzelle allows developers and users to store data for their applications on their decentralized system that provides a more scalable and safe approach than existing systems.

The network structure and functionality of Bluzelle is very straightforward. There are mainly two primary figures in the ecosystem, a producer and a consumer. Producers are participants that supply the network with computing resources and receive Bluezelle (BLZ) tokens in return; while consumers are participants that consume Bluzelle tokens in order to store and recover data.

Bluzelle network links users who plan to move database space to providers with sufficient computing resources to provide storage using data storage Deb. Also, developers may enhance their services by accessing reliable tools when necessary and storing their data on a secure server. These providers will receive Bluzelle tokens (BLZ) and Bluzelle network tokens (BNT) in return for their services, but they will first show their commitment by staking Bluzelle tokens.

Bluzelle can scale up to randomly handle vast quantities of data with its special swarm-of-swarm structure since any shard of data is only reproduced in a single swarm.

How Bluzelle is offering Unique Data Services

Bluzelle strive to improve database solutions offered by its competitors such as Filecoin, Arweave through the following means: -

• Security: Bluzelle runs a safe and secured network with a protocol that guarantees the safety of customer’s data from reckless and abusive third-party treatment. This compares with a typical cloud storage provider or a storage market system that provides users and miners with specific data storage contracts.
• Database: Bluzelle is similar to a database, not to a hard drive or filesystem. Although, the data of a client is broken down, encrypted, reproduced, etc; but the details of all these procedures are abstracted away by the network. A Bluzelle user does not need to worry about how many data reproductions there can be or where they’ll be stored. There is no need to worry about how to organize the data into files or how to secure those files. It doesn’t have to ensure that the physical machines storing the data perform the task diligently or recover from replications when they eventually malfunction because the swarm performs these duties. Bluzelle exposes a basic key-value store and eliminates all of these details.
• Scalability: From the initial setup, Bluzelle is designed for scalability. In order to verify new blocks, traditional blockchain systems like Bitcoin and Ethereum depend on a node processing any transaction. The result is that computing capacity will not be increased by introducing additional nodes to the network; in reality, a bigger network is sluggish because it encounters higher traffic. The new swarm-of-swarms architecture of Bluzelle allows it to scale up easily to accommodate exceedingly large volumes of data because every shard of data is reproduced only in a single swarm.

Other Features of Bluzelle includes but not limited to:

● High Reliability

● Guaranteed Privacy

● High-Performance Speed

● Low cost

The advanced data management network of Bluzelle safeguards projects from data theft, network errors, and performance issues.

Bluzelle’s Partnership with Polkadot

Bluzelle announced on 15th September 2020 that they have partnered with Polkadot. Bluzelle is working with Web3 Foundation (W3F) to provide services to the Polkadot network.

The move will add distributed storage capacities to projects that build on the Substrate architecture of Polkadot, while further progressing the aim of Bluzelle to become Web3’s de facto data layer.

Cross-chain compatibility Polkadot supports applications varying from gaming to DeFi. By linking these projects to a secure, decentralized storage system, Bluzelle would speed up the transition to Web3.

In conclusion, Bluzelle would undoubtedly offer a foundation to promote creativity by joining the Polkadot project. The scalable sharded blockchain of Polkadot developed to endorse cross-chain composability is best suited to introduce decentralized apps. Meanwhile, the data management network of Bluzelle allows decentralized applications to discover these potentials by eliminating the need to rely on centralized data centers.
