It marries the performance and power of traditional databases with the public verifiability of blockchains. - name: Vinay Gupta org: Ethereum Foundation & Consensys link: https://www.ethereum.org/ image: vinay-gupta.jpg quote: I think framing Ethereum as logic, IPFS as disk and BigchainDB as database - a direct parallel to the web stack - is nothing short of genius and really points the way to the future of this industry and, shortly, the web itself. - name: Chris Messina image: chris-messina.jpg quote: From the makers of ascribe, this has the potential to be a big deal. The team has blown the cap off the conventional blockchain limitations. set2: - name: Brian Fabian Crain org: Monax link: https://monax.io image: brian-fabian-crain.jpg quote: BigchainDB is a daring attempt to create a highly scalable blockchain design by one of the best teams in the industry. - name: John Lilic org: Consensys link: https://consensys.net/ image: john-lilic.jpg quote: BigchainDB is a system that affords enterprise an opportunity to credibly consider business processes with very high transaction through-put running on a blockchain. - name: Fabian Vogelsteller org: Ethereum Foundation link: https://www.ethereum.org image: fabian-vogelsteller.jpg quote: BigchainDB is the logical next step in scaling non-computational blockchains. set3: - name: Adi Ben-Ari org: Applied Blockchains link: http://appliedblockchain.com image: adi-ben-ari.png quote: An amazing piece of work that elegantly addresses some of the biggest challenges that we’re all facing. - name: Thor Pettersen org: Internet Music link: https://newinternet.media image: thor-pettersen.jpg quote: "I regard BigchainDB as one of the most important blockchain developments. They are bridging the gap between blockchain and the NOSQL/database world, combining the all-important search and retrieve of metadata with the distributed, secure and immutable nature of blockchain technology." - name: Carsten Stöcker org: RWE Innovation link: http://www.rwe.com/ image: carsten-stoecker.jpg quote: "BigchainDB is a now signature milestone: a nicely scalable blockchainified database that powers decentralized processing platforms. We are excited to be working with the BigchainDB team." set4: - name: Thomas Fürstner org: CEO Riddle & Code link: http://riddleandcode.com image: thomas-fuerstner.jpg quote: "It takes me one day to build on BigchainDB what it took me 30 days to build on Bitcoin." - name: Jutta Steiner org: Ethcore link: https://ethcore.io image: jutta-steiner.jpg quote: ascribe has begun tracing their path in that direction with a blockchain whose storage can scale without drastically compromising on decentralisation.
