Wanxiang Blockchain Lab officially releases "Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform"

Blockchain technology is a technology that has the potential to revolutionize multiple application fields such as finance and law. Large financial institutions in Europe and the United States have conducted relevant research on blockchain technology many years ago. However, the development of blockchain technology in my country is still in its early stages, and there is a clear gap compared with foreign countries. In recent months, some domestic startups and developers have also become interested in the development and application of blockchain technology.

Wanxiang Blockchain Lab is the first research institute in China that focuses on blockchain technology research and development, funded by China Wanxiang Holdings. In order to accelerate the research and application of blockchain technology in my country, Wanxiang Blockchain Lab has invested a lot of resources to set up a number of blockchain-related summits, training, competitions, research and development projects since its establishment in September last year, such as the Global Blockchain Summit, BlockGrant X sponsorship program, BlockTrain X training program and blockchain hackathon. At the opening ceremony of the blockchain hackathon in January this year, Dr. Xiao Feng, Vice Chairman and Executive Director of China Wanxiang Holdings and founder of Wanxiang Blockchain Lab, mentioned the blockchain cloud platform that the lab has been preparing and building since last year.

The BaaS (Blockchain-as-a-Service) platform provided by Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform provides a convenient path for the development and application of blockchain technology - entrepreneurs and developers can use Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform to quickly build the development environment they need and speed up the progress of technology development. The entrance to Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform is: http://baas.blockchainlabs.org, and it can also be accessed through the official website of Wanxiang Blockchain Laboratory www.blockchainlabs.org.

Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform is one of the important projects in the strategic plan of Wanxiang Blockchain Lab in 2015-2016. Vitalik Buterin, chief scientist of Wanxiang Blockchain Lab, said that many businesses and developers are very interested in blockchain technology-related applications, but many functions, such as deploying a new private chain or public chain node, are still very troublesome. Users need a simple platform that allows them to stop wasting time on some basic things and focus on developing their own applications.

After nearly half a year of deployment, Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform has provided support for the development environment of some blockchain projects. Users can directly select the image of the required project when applying for a host. Two Ethereum core developers who communicated and worked in Wanxiang Blockchain Laboratory provided technical training for some specially invited students from March 24 to 25, and the actual technical drills were completed in Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform. On Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform, the configuration time of blockchain development environment can be shortened from one or two days to more than ten minutes, which greatly improved the efficiency and quality of the technical training.

In terms of blockchain technology, Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform has also established technical cooperation with the core development teams and community developers of multiple blockchain projects. Ethereum, Factom, BitShares and Bitcoin are the first four development environments to be launched. Among them, the Factom project has just received financing from Distributed Capital (China Wanxiang Holdings is LP). In addition to Factom, Distributed Capital has also signed investment agreements with multiple blockchain technology-related start-ups around the world. Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform will cooperate with more projects and launch various blockchain development environments and development tool kits one after another.

In the next step of planning, Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform will provide various development environments (including visual integrated development environments) from more third-party blockchain technology companies, further lowering the technical threshold required for blockchain technology development. In addition, Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform will also be combined with the blockchain incubator project to be established by Wanxiang Blockchain Laboratory, providing entrepreneurs with a full range of high-quality services from online to offline.

Thanks to Wanxiang Holdings' many years of experience in the financial industry, Wanxiang Blockchain Lab has the most powerful technical and strategic resources in China in the field of blockchain technology research and application development. The launch of Wanyun Blockchain Cloud Platform will help accelerate my country's progress in blockchain technology development and application, and provide a broader stage for entrepreneurs and developers in the field of blockchain technology.
