Businesses such as Paxos that issue stablecoin USD tokens want to find a way to identify common token metrics such as top holders, daily active users, daily volume, total number of holders, latest transfers, top Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols the tokens have been used on, and more. With Amazon Managed Blockchain (AMB) Query and Amazon […]

In the world of digital assets, private keys have always been of utmost importance. Unlike traditional assets, digital assets are controlled by private keys (a string of letters and numbers), just like passwords, which unlock the right to manage and use assets. Private keys can be used to irreversibly transfer funds from the wallet, thus, […]

Analyzing data originating on a blockchain can be a challenging and time-consuming process due to the complexity and variety of smart contract structures. This primary obstacle requires an in-depth understanding of the various platforms you wish to analyze. In the Web3 space, each protocol has their own way of storing and calling methods, making implementation […]

This post discusses the implementation details of an Ethereum smart contract CI/CD pipeline as outlined in a previous post, which is considered a prerequisite to the topics discussed in this post. Part 1 highlighted some of the challenges faced by a multi-developer team implementing a decentralized application (dApp) and how CI/CD can help address those […]

According to the United States Census Bureau, over 7.9 million Americans moved from one state to another in 2021 alone. One of the tasks an individual must complete when moving from state to state is trading in their driver’s license from their former state of residence for a license in their new state of residence. Each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is responsible for the issuance and management of driver’s licenses within the state, and this requires collaboration with other state DMVs to gather important data such as traffic offenses occurring out of state. In this post, we discuss how blockchain can streamline driver’s license issuance and foster deeper collaboration between DMVs in all 50 states and why blockchain is a compelling technology choice.

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) is a process that automates software development workflows and deploys better quality software that avoids bugs and code failure. CI/CD removes the manual human intervention that was traditionally needed to get code changes from development environments to production servers. With a CI/CD pipeline, code changes are automatically detected, built, […]

This series of posts provides a comprehensive introduction to running IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) on AWS: In Part 1, we introduce the IPFS concepts and test IPFS features on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance In Part 2, we propose a reference architecture and build an IPFS cluster on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service […]

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a storage protocol that allows content to be stored in a decentralized manner on the global IPFS network, without relying on any central entity. IPFS-enabled applications can benefit from a high level of redundancy and low latency, because content can be replicated, looked up, and downloaded from nearby IPFS nodes. […]
