Blockchain technology, originally developed for managing digital currencies like Bitcoin, is essentially a digital ledger that allows information to be distributed but not copied. It has been getting a lot of attention this year as businesses discover blockchain's potential use for a range of applications that require ensuring the integrity and security of transactional data.
FlureeDB, launched in November as a public beta, is a scalable blockchain cloud database that makes it easier for companies and developers who want to integrate blockchain technology into their existing IT infrastructure and business applications. It's seen as a key enabler as businesses increasingly run on decentralized applications.
Fluree PBC (public benefit corp.), the developer of FlureeDB, is the brainchild of Platinum Software founder CEO Flip Filipowski and SilkRoad Technology founder and CEO Brian Platz.
