Exciting Developments at TruffleCon 2019
The tech world has struck gold again, courtesy of Truffle, the blockchain development company that decided to raise the stakes at this year’s TruffleCon held on Microsoft’s sprawling campus in Redmond, Washington. Founder and CEO Tim Coulter, sporting what can only be described as an enthusiastic demeanor, announced plans to expand their developer suite to embrace protocols like Corda, Hyperledger Fabric, and Tezos. You can almost hear the cheer from developers everywhere!
The Vision for Interoperability
Coulter’s enthusiasm wasn’t just for the new protocols, but for the grand idea of interoperability — the ability for various blockchain networks to work together seamlessly. He said,
“We are empowering developers to build enterprise-grade solutions on any network of their choosing, creating a path for future cross-network collaboration.”
So yes, folks, it’s basically a matchmaking service for blockchain networks!
What Does Truffle Offer?
Truffle’s development tools have been in the game since 2015, designed to streamline everything from backend smart contracts to frontend app development. The Truffle Suite is your Swiss Army knife for blockchain development, ensuring you won’t have to juggle a million tools and still be left scratching your head. The suite has already gained traction with support for Ethereum and Quorum, and now it seems set for an impressive growth spurt.
A Brief Financial History
Not to be outdone by other startups, Truffle made headlines in 2019 by securing a cool $3 million investment. They’ve also partnered up with some heavyweights like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, and let’s not forget Microsoft Azure. Clearly, their strategy is like a tower of Jenga: build them high, but make sure you have a solid foundation to stand on.
Interoperability Beyond Code
Interoperability isn’t just a fanciful idea in tech circles; it’s an essential goal for various industries. A shining example comes from the blockchain-driven initiative called the Blockchain in Transport Alliance (BiTA). This group is on a mission to enhance supply chain interoperability using blockchain technology. As noted by BiTA president Patrick Duffy, blockchain
“has the potential to smooth the transactions that occur between shippers and carriers, but it requires the active participation of transportation leaders.”
So folks, even the shipping industry is getting in on this tech wave!
