Catenis Goes Open-Source

At Blockchain of Things, we’re always striving to innovate and provide the best possible options for our customers, partners, and the community as a whole.

Since launching in 2015, we have built the Catenis platform using best practices and open-source software. The foundation of Catenis even uses an open-source blockchain — the Bitcoin Blockchain — and no other proprietary software or blockchain.

Since our inception, we have built all of our API connectivity clients as open source. This includes our JavaScript client, PHP, and RUST clients.

Recently, BCoT has decided to greater align its premiere platform, Catenis, with the rest of the industry. That is why we are happy to announce today, that the Catenis platform is entirely open-source with an MIT commercial use license for everyone!

We strongly believe that Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we store, share, and secure data of any size. This is why it’s crucial for companies like Blockchain of Things to open source it’s products and why we chose to do it with our software, Catenis, a blockchain-based solution that securely and reliably sends, and receives messages and logs data across the blockchain. With these features it is easy to build applications or integrate existing applications with the Bitcoin Blockchain.

What are the benefits of open sourcing, you ask?

Well, one of the key benefits of open-sourcing Catenis is that it would allow developers to build upon the existing functionality of the product and create new, innovative applications without question nor hesitation to how it functions. This would lead to wider adoption of Catenis technology and the blockchain technology it’s built on, as more developers would be able to create new and innovative use cases for the platform.

Another benefit of open sourcing Catenis is that it would increase the overall security and reliability of the product. With the help of the broader community of developers, potential vulnerabilities and bugs could be identified and addressed more quickly and efficiently. This would make Catenis an even more secure and reliable platform for transmitting and storing data on the Bitcoin Blockchain.

Additionally, open-sourcing Catenis would also increase the transparency of the product. Those in the industry know that building on the Bitcoin Blockchain is a somewhat new concept. So new and less explored that many developers don’t think it’s even possible! Open sourcing would make it easier for users to understand how the product works and how their data is stored and transmitted. This increased transparency would build trust and confidence in the product, leading to more users and adoption.

Furthermore, open-sourcing Catenis would also increase the scalability of the product. With a wider community of developers working on the product, more resources would be available to make Catenis more scalable, allowing it to handle additional data and more users. This would lead to greater opportunities for the product and the company!

We are confident that open-sourcing Catenis would bring many benefits to, the wider blockchain community at large. Therefore, it is a great move and we are thrilled to open-source the Catenis platform and allow the community to help build an even stronger, more secure, and reliable blockchain-based solution for transmitting and storing data.
