Tron (TRX) is again announcing a series of development upgrades to make the Tron network more scalable. The reason for this need for scalability lays in the increased usage of DApps.A DApp is an abbreviation for a decentralized application. For most users, the application will look and feel the same as a normal application you can find in the App Store or Google PlayStore, however, the app is built on top of #blockchain infrastructure.This means that the business logic (backend code) is running on all nodes within a decentralized peer-to-peer network. Another variant to this concept is a frontend application which makes calls to a smart contract running on the p2p network. It is even possible to take this one step further and host the frontend code on decentralized storage such as Swarm (...)

Digitalization is promoted among businesses as it improves their efficiency and reduces costs. Also, this trend creates huge data silos for businesses ready to be analyzed to further improve their operating.However, it’s not all rosy. The amount of data businesses receive can be overwhelming and hard to manage. The first common issue we can find is the presence of multiple data silos which aren’t connected.For example, an imaginary company collects website behavior data inside of their database, but also their sales and stock data in separate excel sheets. This brings us to two issues:Different storage meansMultiple not connected data sourcesTrying to analyze such fragmented data is a costly and time-consuming process, something digitalization should prevent in the first place.

Blockchain, though known to most people through cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, is used for much more than powering cryptos. Recently, a lot of companies have been coming up with innovative ways of putting this technology to use, from using it as a decentralized voting system to managing a global shipping system.Even big companies like IBM and Samsung have adopted it for use. So it’s natural that all this interest in it brings about the need for blockchain developers.

We want to save them from having to deal with the complexity of issues like posting a transaction.Wait, some will say: Posting a transaction is complex? Isn’t there already a function to call for that? Well, yes and no. There is already a function that works well enough for the simple case of manual payments; but that function fails badly and is wholly unsuitable for use in the more elaborate cases that matter to a distributed application backed by a smart contract.When the simplest device (a Turing Machine) is already extremely (...)
