Estimated read time 3 min read

Welcome to Kadena’s Cloud: Scala-Mania!

Kadena, the startup born from the brilliance of former JPMorgan blockchain gurus, has just dropped its latest gem: the Kadena Scalable Permissioned Blockchain. This shiny new offering is now strutting its stuff on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace—absolutely free! Talk about a welcome mat that rolls out toward both tech enthusiasts and enterprise giants alike.

The Quest for Scalability

In the ever-evolving world of blockchain, scalability is the toast of the town. When Kadena launched its permissioned blockchain on Amazon’s playground in early 2019, co-founder Stuart Popejoy raised a valid point: existing private blockchains often felt like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole—too slow and not quite right. Fast forward to today, and Kadena isn’t just pointing fingers; it’s stacking its chips with clients like USCF Investments and a mysterious Fortune 500 company.

What Makes Kadena Special?

This isn’t just any blockchain—this is a powerhouse ready for enterprise-level performance. Kadena’s platform is capable of handling four nodes and a whopping 2,000 transactions per second. Why is that important? Think of it as a fancy restaurant that can whip you a gourmet meal at rush hour without breaking a sweat. Features like secure channels, trustless escrows, pluggable encryption, and contract governance are all part of the package. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of blockchains!

A Nod to Real-World Success

Kadena isn’t just talk; it’s got an impressive roster of clients to back up its claims. From the healthcare tech innovators at Rymedi to a major player in Latin America’s tech scene, Alteum, the startup seems to be making waves. Kadena might even be cozying up with one of the 100 largest banks on this big ol’ planet—we’re just not allowed to name-drop!

Traditional Meets Tech

Will Martino, the visionary co-founder and CEO of Kadena, has been clear about the product’s mission. The goal? To blend high-performance blockchain capabilities with the traditional back-end processes that many companies still rely on. Launching on both AWS and now Azure means they’re dancing like nobody’s watching, while servicing nearly the entire cloud-based enterprise blockchain market.

The Future of Kadena

Founded in the heart of New York, Kadena started with the ambition of revolutionizing the blockchain landscape. Having raised almost $15 million, it’s clear Kadena’s ambition is as big as its dreams. So, what’s next for this hybrid blockchain wonder? Only time will tell, but we’re definitely keeping our eyes peeled!
